Long Dark metaphor Poems

Was it a cruel twist of fate?
Sneering, laughing chance?
Perhaps something I ate?
A bad bout of happenstance?

It wrenched and tore at my gut,
A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.

Prelude

After banishing my foe off to hell
The Lord took pity on my soul 
And returned it to my undead shell
Again, I was alive and whole

But the consequences of a second chance
Meant that I would have...

Where I live is in between
A memory and a dream
Walking a tightrope each day
I light my self on fire
And take a big box
And head down Main Street
The weasels in the front of Bill’s Cafe
Love it,...

The demon spawns temptation in the minds of mortal men
Exposed is their dark desires, lifted from the pits of hell
Evil breeds in the fiery depths of Satan’s beastly lair
Seeds planted to grow in shadowed corners...

once …

there - with trunks of monkey’s meth
there grew a breadth of bunky breaths
deplored by dreaded, drunky deaths
to calm their chemic coggers 
the fame of phlegmic foggers

so deep and dark those dribble bibs
didst dig their...

I’ve never been where they’ve been,
chasing the mirage in the desert storm.
I look into their tranced eyes,
see their vision transfixed on illusion,
the shroud of ruse spreads on sneaky people.

The gleam of oasis out of their...

Abandoned are thine eyes, as they see not faces or light. Search now do they not, for there is no longer beauty in sight. The shapes of the world blur together, left now are no...

The Flavors of Darkness

The numbing blackness without cold or heat engulfs.
I float in calm brackish decaying still waters offering no struggle.
My lips taste its decomposing and dying matter. 
I should cough and gag on its...

One night at my house a strange man had got in
When I asked him to leave he gave me a grin
I called the authorities who were of no use
He slipped out the back door, a...

"Sitteth Peschiera, fortress fair and strong, 
To front the Brescians and the Bergamasks, 
Where round about the bank descendeth lowest. 

There of necessity must fall whatever 
In bosom of Benaco cannot stay,  
And grows...

(This poem is about 3 years old)

Hear the whispers as the wind breathes
The world is but a lingering dream
Shards of reality from a deadened tree
Under the bridge you wait for me

Seeing unreal visions in the...

People are a selfish bunch 

The only specie on earth to kill for fun

There's only one thing that truly separates us

Only one thing that makes us noticeable 

It has no moral value, socially perhaps

"Where is the sun, where is the moon?"
the mirror asks.
He sees the silence in the other's gaze—
crouched against the wall
an empty face where once
two small diamonds burned
and cut in two
who once was whole

"Where is the...

 With each dab of paint from passionate fingers
With each dancing stroke of beautiful ochres
And bright greens and reds and gentle yellows
A master's masterpiece unfolds and...

Hot zones of danger,
dark places
where dense hearts go
Hearts that are cold as ice
Roll the dice ... 
take a chance on fatal corona exploration
Go ghetto orbital
and gamble with your porcelain life
You’ve been whitely warned:
Shun the spots...

Skipping heartbeats in the air
With the warm sun in your voice
In the cozy tipsy room
The pen is restless
 
Pink desires of crimson fruits
Have gone to the dense woodland
To drink wine from the moon cup
The box...

Auto shutter the eyes,
keep a closed lid focus on things
Develop a darkroom view,
a negative attitude

Get inured by the lies,
lips constantly twisted tongue clicking
Shadow eyes coin flipping, 
changes the message snapshot disguise ...
closure of the thought...

I made a lake filled with hate
And kept it clogging up,
It was bulking, bulking, till it broke
Thro' emptying its animosity.

And when it could no longer hold
Its propaganda of repugnance,
It was bleeding, bleeding, till I saw
Some...

Throw me in a lions pit to feed your sickening desires

Tie me down with barbed wired tear my teeth with pliers 

Chain me up by my feet to listen to my heart beat

Tear from me...

he left behind his home of coral
in search of better things,
breaking vows and flaunting morals,
cutting loose from tightening strings 

trapped between the sea and land,
he scuttles 'cross an endless beach,
stranded on the burning sand,
he seeks...

The gristmill of war leaves its dead frozen
to lay on the blood soaked crusted floor of time
lifeless bent shapes, the ones chosen
in wars, caused by twisted mind's of mankind

A poisoned mind..
Venom poured and trickled through..
Wounded by rituals thrust upon me.
Intoxication of your madness..

Betrayed effortlessly..
A deceitful cunning environment..
Contagious disease of insanity..

Lies along with false pretenses..
As you claim an undying love 
For you use love...

   hungry and forlorn

My dark soul of damnation deserves decay
as I drown in the abyss from deceitful debauchery
with the help of my decadent deluded mind
and the staged dastardly deeds of defiance from choices made
when my heart filled with...
