Darkness Poems - Poems about Darkness

Premium Member From darkness to light
Lost in clouds of dark fears, mirrored by lust, we were encircled by demons we conjured, which in mists of forgetting, became the cross we now carry, the heavy baggage of attachments, weighing heavily on our bleeding heart. Help was close at hand inked in hues of love, prompting consciousness to learn by touch, melding head with heart in silence, that thus dissolving ego, we recognise our Self, as God’s...

Eyes
Bright orbs that shimmer, secrets yet untold, They pierce the dark and trace the fading light. Through love and loss, their silent stories hold, A world within each gaze—so soft, so bright. They search the hearts once open, now concealed, Reflecting dreams that linger, lost in fire. Some truths they guard, while others are revealed, Mirrors of passion, sorrow, and desire. They cast...

Deceptive darkness
It goes unnoticed, just beneath the skin coursing now throughout. stalking just outside of what's real the battle of flesh and steel. Moon and earth locked in a cold embrace un able to look away. casualties now of an ancient love, its hidden within reflections. Deception is her only way to burn, reflecting light from...

Premium Member When you unravel in the darkness, you learn how deep the silence of the world sinks
When you unravel in the darkness, you learn how deep the silence of the world sinks, not even those for whom you would bleed will carve your name into their silence, they will scroll through dreams, sleep under indifferent skies, smile like shadows, while you try to breathe through the pain wrapping your soul like a veil. For when...

When Heaven Turns To Hell
At first, it was heaven — pure and bright. Then came the cry, A single tear that swelled into a river, And from that flood, hell was unleashed. Her world shattered, Suffering took root deep within her soul. She was never the same. Locked away in her room, Her mind a storm of questions — Where did it all go...

Hello Darkness, my old Friend
Hello Darkness My Old Friend This world is full of . Go some place off the grid. Don’t waste time searching for me. Time to return to the grave. I didn’t ask to be here. Sometimes you just want to disappear. Hello darkness my old friend. Soon we will meet again. The dead will wait...

I. Sighting I saw you through refracted light- a prism of chance splitting ordinary into spectrum. Wind-tangled hair terra cotta and rosemary beneath your nails the scent of soil and citrus on your skin. You carried mysteries-living things I wanted to cradle. I didn’t find you- you found...

Void’s Embrace
Words like thorns, stuck deep, they choke, A silent scream, a shattered spoke. My shadow flees, won’t show its face, Lost within its hollow space. Time’s rusted blade, it carves with grace, Slowly tracing my fragile base. Hands of emptiness, cold and pale, Cradle a doom that’s set to sail. On edges sharp, where whispers race, I hold the night’s forsaken grace....

Inheritance of Fire
My father never hit me-- he just taught me how to burn. Taught me silence was safer than softness, that anger was armor and kindness a weakness someone would use. I watched him carve the word weak into everything he feared, watched him drown my brother’s voice, cut my mother’s name from the air. Hate was our heirloom. Polished like silver. Passed down like gospel. I almost gave it...

When the Light Forgot Me
I whispered your name into the bruise of the storm and it whispered back like it missed me too. Your voice— I remember it like warmth I no longer deserve. They keep telling me the sky is clearing, but I am rain. I am always rain. And when I tried to let you go, my fingers bled from the holding....

The Valley Remembers
The wind doesn’t howl here-- it warns. Each breath drawn is borrowed from the bones beneath. They told me to fear the shadow, but never the silence that follows. I walk where others knelt, blade dulled, spirit frayed, still searching for the summit that keeps shifting skyward. I do not ask for light-- only the strength to keep walking where ghosts refuse to rest....

Premium Member Painful Reveal
Your recent reveal was a sad steal of all I knew. My memory now bleeds severely making days blue. My world shattered and scattered across the floor. Something dying is out loud crying aching and sore. Your truth so grilling it is piercing the past I saw. Now that I am bruised by your news I am plain raw. Feeling a fragile head from words said I’m torn...

Premium Member Brainwash
brave words falling from my pen fill the emptiness a page of white nothingness working on fantasies, erasing all the wars with thanks giving hope to the spirit who sees beyond the dreams to the touch a ghostlike memory revealing the promises lost, exploding in the thoughts brought to life in rich reds, flaming ginger mysteries of a soul who breathes light from her prayers silently exposing naked hearts, so rare her stars in her...

Darkness Is My Favorite
Darkness is my favorite, Yet the night is dishonest with me. Acting makes me laugh the day, The night makes me cry carefully, The darkness is my favorite, Yet the night betrays me....
