In Darkness Poems | Examples

More Than A Soft Toy

Your fur is worn thin now,
patches where love pressed too hard,
but to me you were never just a toy -
you were the voice of courage
when the dark grew too loud.

I held you like a secret shield,
breathing into your sewed ear
the worries I dared not share with my mother.
You guarded them in silence,
never speaking a word
but somehow - I always slept easier.

In daylight you became a friend
sailing ships across blankets,
chasing clouds across the plaster sky,
celebrating every victory
in make-believe wars you alone could prove 

Even now,
you linger on my shelf,
a gentle witness that love
is stitched to last
beyond the years.

A Quiet Cry

A heart grown weary in silent rain,
No roof to shelter, no meal to gain.
No gentle voice, no hand to hold—
Just aching silence, damp and cold.

I left behind what broke my soul,
A job that crushed what once was whole.
Now I drift with nowhere near,
And all I know is ache and fear.

I do not seek to shame my name,
Nor beg with pride consumed by flame.
I only ask—if one heart sees—
A little help to bring me peace.

Not for always, just for now,
Until I rise again somehow.
A small kind gift to help me leave
This room of silence where I grieve.

I ask with trembling, not with blame,
And pray no one will cast me shame.
Just light enough to cross this night—
And walk once more toward morning's light.

If you can’t give, a prayer will do—
That mercy finds its way back through.
May God still move through hearts unknown,
And guide the lost ones safely home.

Dreams Dissolve in darkness

In the dead of night, her prince reveals his true form,
A wolf in sheep's clothing, his heart as cold as ice,
She's trapped in a nightmare, no fairy godmother in sight,
Her glass slippers shattered, her dreams left to freeze
Her heart, once on her sleeve, now lies frozen and alone,
Shattered like the glass that once adorned her feet,
She's a prisoner to his lies, a puppet on a string,
Her fairytale is over, her story incomplete.

The clock strikes midnight, her carriage turns to ash,
The ballroom's lights now dim, the music fades away,
She's left with nothing but a broken heart and tears,
A fairytale gone wrong, her happy ending astray..
And so she vanishes, a shadow in the night,
A phantom of her former self, her dreams now out of sight,
No prince, no love, no happy ever after,
Just a shattered heart and a fairytale's disastrous disaster..

In the cold and lonely silence, Cinderella weeps for a love that never was,
And as her tears fall, the darkness consumes her, a heartbroken soul lost in the shadows."

"Dreams Dissolve in darkness"

World In Darkness

I don't see anything in darkness
But when I close my eyes
I see everything.

I've known that even in darkness
The seed sprout
Life is a miracle.

I can appreciate light
When I'm in darkness
It's the meaning of success.

I can't see what's beyond the sky 
The ocean and the human heart
But I have peace of mind.

Light In Darkness

We court darkness to see the light
& every room
has a bit of both
We're the sum of wombs in many 
ways giving birth to things
in route to growth
Every little step we take is toward
a cliff & one day
we'll all exceed the edge
The roads we take are hit or miss
& every single path
has a bit of dread
Tread lightly in a dark world for
heavy steps bring
wear afoot
We wear each other's skin like we're
all the same so eventually
shoes fit the other foot
We couldn't see a thing inside the
womb but still looked
forward to a brighter life
The divine darkness in which we're
groomed only gives
birth to growing light
Don't fight the darkness inside of
you but see the light
within the shadows
I feel all the struggles the same 
as you but the duality
is half the battle

Dissolve in Darkness

darkness that once I befriended
is pulling its strings and laid down it’s plans
the tales I recited following the shadows
of his and her, my and their life
are being used as a canon
to shatter decomposed walls
who plead me to say “yes”

with every single breeze,
with every single breathe,
i refuse to kneel before defeat
in my cold barren land, 
every season feels colder
but I’m looking at horizon
waiting for that summer
to let the dear readers know
“i’m trying not to dissolve in the darkness,
that eternal excruciating peace”

Worship in Darkness

Can your prayers not take flight, 
Try the darkness in absence of light, 
Pitch so dark you can only see thought, 
Now begins what needs to be taught, 
Resonance of the pitch you need to replicate, 
Variables of emotion will flow from love to hate, 
Focus on the presence filling your lung, 
A slight presence will sound as though a bell rung, 
Worldly troubles will begin to dissipate, 
A conversation with God you can now create, 
He is your Father so just talk with Him, 
It doesn't have to be prepared just on a whim,
The closer you get the better it'll be, 
Goal in this relationship is harmony, 
Sit with God and enjoy this time,
Worship in darkness can be sublime.

Stuck in darkness

Can't find our way out 
this thick darkness suffocates 
holding us hostage

In Darkness and Death

In the silent, shadowed halls of night,
Where whispers dance with ghostly light,
Lies the realm where death does tread,
A sovereign land, where all fear to head.

Cloaked in darkness, a figure so still,
Its presence alone, enough to chill.
With bony fingers, cold and sere,
It beckons souls, both far and near.

In its gaze, eternity lies,
A void as deep as starless skies.
It speaks in silence, a language old,
Telling tales of the brave and bold.

Yet, in its wake, a truth profound,
Where life is lost, new life is found.
For in the heart of darkest fears,
Lies the seed of a thousand years.

So fear not the end, the final sleep,
For death is but a door, a leap.
Into the arms of the unknown,
Where seeds of our deeds are sown.

Dwelling In Darkness

The scattered dreams without a goal

The shattered seams within my soul

I ever vow to spark in hell

Forever now in darkness dwell

What mattered most I turned away

A clattered ghost I spurned what may

Ever versed to endear the night

Forever cursed to fear the light

Screaming in Darkness

There is a darkness
that tears at the mind
like vulture's beaks,
ripping flesh from flesh
as blood drips down my hands
from fingernails clutched to my face
in a silent scream of terror

I suffer in this dark realm
as my mind sees things,
a dark demented shadow
passing in my mind's eye
hunting my soul
trying to consume what it can
wanting to leave an empty husk
with no emotion, no life

I stare into the dark void that surrounds
a surreal world filled with illusion
that are not illusion
rather the darkest pit of hell
where I'm trapped
twisted and bent
searching, hiding, seeking revenge
where insanity bubbles in my mind's cauldron
as poison is being made
to be fed to the creatures
that crawl across the belly of my soul
these maggots feasting on the flesh of my flesh
leave nothing but bone
as my bloody hands pound on the walls of my casket
where I have been buried alive

Solace in Darkness

My heart was once blackened with each droplet of lies left by him,

Now it hangs iridescently by a tree,

Wrung out are the bloodshot tinted tears,

Leaving me to rest in the velvet dark, 

As his crimson stained memory drips into oblivion.

In Darkness

days end in darkness
light succumbs to the shadows
phantoms rule the night

She Walks In Darkness

Who was she ...
The one who walks
drifting out and in?
A haunting beauty, 
pale, porcelain - like.
As solemn as the
ever silent night. 

Partaking of
this twilight, cloudless.
It's chilling climes,
thrilling arms and 
eyes, glowing starry
at blackened skies.

From mansion walls and
behind doors and all.
Over the floor that's
creaking it's best.
Skating the ends of
corridors gone dark.
To the window and
in ghostly bright?


Inspired by ...

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright 

Lord Byron - She Walks In Beauty

Light In Darkness:Symphony of Spirit

When the mighty asteroid of tragedy struck, 
Razed your spirits to ground.
 Who helped you rebound?
 When the night of despair was pitch black ,
What made your spirit bounce-back? 
When the flame of hope was smothered 
And darkness was abound,
 What made u hold your ground?
 When the expectations were slowly dying
 Who set the bird of hope flying?
 No,it wasn't an unknown being. 
It wasn't an unheard voice. 
The strenghthful soul you always see in the mirror 
That mighty believer and an all time winner. 
When the world walks away, you'll be left on your own. 
To wipe your own tears, 
Hold your own hand and face your fears. 
The victors fight with the strength of their soul .
Mighty sailors are led by their inner voice. 
Battling for glory is your own choice
With strengthful soul and self-belief, you'll rise and never dwell.
Ascend to the throne of glory and excel..
