A jungle of circumstance…
preying on the silence
Each verse a whip to crack the dark
—and tame the angry lion
(Dreamsleep: November, 2019)
tears carve silent paths,
though the sun is but a ghost
pressing on his skin.
he hears the light in the wind,
and weeps for its golden weight.
Your tenebrous soul, masquerading as love, haunts these comments all.
Oh, Lord save my soul, that my eyes, on your words, do not befall!

dusk’s love-locked braces —
dad resounds shooting antler
off bucks to detach

Head full of thoughts of darkness
Everything doesn't matter
Light has gone from the world (mostly)
Please help
My friend Shannon challenged me to write a dark poem, so I did. This is the product.
grieving colors hearts
with dark glimpses of mourning
harden arteries

In a dark alley; eating peaches, pears and plums
Awful friendly with hysteria
You should hear his jokes and his stereo
A self-induced recluse whom on a weary whim
Decided it was best he read the clues again
Unacceptable--
implementing climbing skills

Moonlight weeps on rusted stone,
Where once I danced, I crawl alone.
Roots with hands now draw me near,
Feeding on my deepest fear.
My shadow speaks in shattered rhyme.
A ghost who bleeds through endless time.
a throne dilemma
just one sheet left on the roll ~
do i use both sides

Pain of parting
As parting slivers my heart
and leaves my soul bleeding,
Memories of togetherness
turn into thorns of prickly longing.

Darkness sits in his mind,
The night is cloaked in his chamber,
Tempest rages in his closet,
He searches for a way through,
He fights and stifles,
They push back and trouble sore,
It's an unending fight,
He anticipates an end.

I admit
Something might exist
Maybe in some type of rift
Where no light has hit
Despite the type of risk
Could there be righteousness?
Or would it lead to a crisis swift?
Is there lifelessness
Inside this mist
Or a place with the nicest gifts
And wisest wits
speak less; listen more
his eyes roll out; ears droop down ~
how wise! just mm-hmm

The way your gentle hands create beautiful pictures
The way your brain creates dark poetry
The way you get excited about the simple things
It all matters to me
The way you laugh at my stupid humor
The way you make sure I'm not forgotten
The way you open up to me and I open up to you
It all matters to me
Liars of the twisted tongue,
thine mouths are like guiled fire
from the flesh of darkness, you were born
from the darkness, you sleep and reign
you tempt man in may ways and trials
vermin spewing flesh eating bile of the mind
take back you idealistic ramblings of temptations
effective immediately DELETED!

gripped by two options
mind likes A, while heart loves B…
God-led, faith* grabs best
*Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

This state goes rogue
against us, humanity
all money is community priority
our life has been agony
irresponsibility deterioriating the country
no foreign or domestic policy anymore
sweep them away and we are winning
yet it is not that simple
my family is in nation hystery
heed our voice in the brink of despair
your sensitivity is real victory
let's share what we have
some people have no filter ~
common sense ~ or shame

2nd place in the contest
Damning report points
finger red-faced rogues flee now
the witch-hunt begins!
NB This is a dark wry tale with hints of humour and irony about reports in general.
Perhaps a story about fraud or financial oversight.

Gordon's gin
is not Scottish
but British
Canadian whisky
is better than nothing,
if all you have is nothing.
The name 'Gordon'
means -
'Large fort, big hill'.
This has drove many a Gordon
to drink, and dark poetry.
Pink Gin is for slim men
who brunch until lunch.
The Scots like to sword dance
in their shorty kilts
that's what too much whisky
can make you do.
