A DARKER SHADE OF BLACK
A darker shade of black. To keep the shadows from peeking back. A dimmer shade of dark. Keep the fear out from my heart. As I closed my eyes I drifted off to sleep. Lying wide awake as darkness hovered over me. In a darker shade of black the devil will attack. Whispering my name but never knowing where he's at. Lying in...

Friendshades
Friends that hide a darker shade,  Are the first ones to let you go and fade.  They want to see you do better,  But will degrade you little by little.  Fake friends treat you bad,  Expects you to be joyful and on-track.  But little do they know, their words hurt,  Like an arrow right through the heart.  They don't understand that they can...

A darker shade of blue
A darker shade of blue The stars call to me through the use of a screen, But my curtains are closed to them really being seen. I’m scared of the dark, the night such a fright. I wish my heart would allow me to not fear closing my eyes. Sleep with one eye open, praying not to die. An eye for...

Queen of Darker Shades
Girl, you're beautiful can I call you ebony? Nefertiti, my black Nubian? your skin is like a clear midnight. Everything about you is fine I'm digging the curves of your thighs trippin on your full chocolate lips as your chest rise. Perspiration is falling like diamonds trickling down your breasts I want to make earthquakes, desires as I touch your...

Danger of Darker Dance
Danger of Darker Dance In the heart of the desert, where shadows cast despair, An ideology emerged—a venomous affair. Visionless and blind, it spread its wicked creed. Ignorant butchers are planting violent seeds. In the Middle East, where cultures intertwine, A malignancy arose—a dark design. It wore the cloak of faith, distorted and defiled. A mask of virtue yet cruelty compiled. Through arid...

Worlds of the abandoned
Conceptual paralysis Hot wired matrix delusional her hereditary mono-glide Diet tried smokers cough Apocalyptic pop-tart Disappoint a trend of the needy You gave it back Watching the watcher You had a laugh The diamond left its mount The horse shouted out rude names The map of life is on your palm Testing your attention to see if you're real The missing songs sang of castles walls Paradox...

Getting Darker All the Time On This Ride
It's getting darker All the time I sit alone It's getting darker With every poem I try and include Another a one single person more You know the score No need for or telling you How stupid and disrespectful of me Thinking or believing It's only just poor little me Who knows It's getting darker all the time As you yourself aren't blind either It's just none of can...

Premium Member The Saddest Truth of Love and Its Deep Darker Side
The Saddest Truth Of Love And Its Deep Darker Side Love too often acts so radically says life Forbiddenly, it holds emotional cut scars Cut with an on loan, long diamond edge butcher's knife It wages battles aplenty, wrecks destructive wars It climbs trees, soars into the high heavens above That sadder truth I know, its darkness is jet black Some laud...

The Darker Side of Prison's In Florida
In the depths of the Sunshine State, Where tales of darkness resonate, Lies a world concealed from the light, The darkest side of prisons in Florida's sight. Behind iron bars and towering walls, Echoes the agony of lost souls' calls, Where hopes are shattered, dreams are slain, And sorrow dances in an endless chain. In the land of palm trees and golden sand, A...

Premium Member Limerick In a Darker Shade of Blue
A laundryman let his dong dangle While standing too close to a mangle. When they stopped it, you guessed it, It had folded and pressed it, And now he must pee at an angle.

A Darker Thought Mattered
The light promises to fade As the dark encompass do we try to see There are doubts we cannot just shake How shadows only tease for what could be It is easy with the aid of light Be it hard truths or comforting lies before our eyes Harder as with the shade of night Where once truth will cast doubt as with...

The Darker the Better
Hiding under her blankets The darker the better ....presses her button to drop the blinds The darker the better. The only light comes from the flicker of the horror movie Where the hellovision screen is her mirror...it makes her feel at home. Her clothes fit her well; - Aching uncertainty - Dark forebodings - Tender pessimism The mirror keeps reminding her. The bottle of...
