Short Dark Secret Poems

Deep into the chambers of her heart,
Lies a dark secret,
Yes, she was a wildfire....

"Dark is the night
Wet is the pillow
From the little girl's
Nightly tears

Beyond understanding
A sick family's dark secret
Unseen, unbelieved
Leaving years of nightmares
Panic and pain
Fear and inability to trust
How could God let this be?"...

Soon the forest would reveal its dark secret
and I don't want to be there again to see
instead I'd be walking the world on my own
cuz I already know what's in there
I told myself so many time
"don't worry, everything will be all right"
but gosh as I wrong?
cuz sometimes the forest has its own agenda in mind.

Wasted vision
a blackened sight,
a deep dark secret
within the night,

a howling force
breathes through the air,
so moved to seek
or should I dare,

beneath the covers
which consumes my space,
throughout my body
in this empty place,

shadowed voices
before I wake,
the light of dawn
for morning sake.

VODKA AND LIME

light and heavenly distilled to silence night
personal dark secret delight
drifting thoughts spinning time
on substance abuse sublime
brain freeze back
lime
Vodka smack
another filtered climb
every poem clothed in rhyme
pure imagination takes to flight
light and heavenly distilled to silence night...

They thought he was a harmless fool.
His hair dyed black
And eyebrows pencilled in,
The silver outfits -
Shoulders huge -
And platform shoes.

His lyrics less than lyrical,
Chanted, shouted
At his concerts;
His hits always played at parties.

A has-bean humoured,
Perhaps patronised,
His antics tolerated.

But Gary Glitter had a dark secret…

A deep dark secret
Detected and unlocked
The secrets then started spewing
Blood began to tumble
Hurt started to rumble
Nothing was ever the same
The tables were turned
No one could be trusted
All hearts turned to stone
All was burned
All was tortured
And there was never any resolution
So as I sit here and ponder my every thought
I gaze out my window
And a tear forms to my eye
So, why?...

Birds can't fly high
High into the sky
They can't escape

Fish can't swim fast
Fast from the cast
They can't escape

Cats can't bounce back
Back from attack
They can't escape

No one can escape
Escape from his cape
Of dark, secret nights

The birds, fish and cat
Can't get away from that
He waits in the hole

I tried to fly high
I tried to swim fast
I tried to bounce back
I didn't escape...

My dark secret
I call you out only at night
When the sun goes down

And the moon and the stars are the
Only light.
I rush you in my door
For my secret

I must hide 
I'm such an evil guy 
But still

I promise no lies.
I'm a shameful little guy 
Always keeping you beneath

A darkened sky.
My dark secret 
I must hide ..

Why is it you hide so 
Are you a shame of your own soul
Now tell me some more lies....

Sanhedrin's dark secret 
obsession.
Jealousy brewed within them. 
A traitor betrays the most
high. Set forth on this epic
black night.
Roman soldiers are led and
arrest Jesus.
Judas realizes what he's done,
and cries out," I have committed
a terrible sin!" Silver pieces
thrown, at the high priest. As 
guilt overwhelms him.
He escapes his torment.
Swaying in the wind, hanging
from a Redbud tree.

Mirror hanging on the wall
Bloodstains in my eyes
Pain in my blood stream
Guilt in my soul

My head buried in my hands
Torment pierce my inner skin
Heart beat of anxiety
And breathe of frustration

Laughter filled with anguish
A smile of disappointment
Thought of negativity
A road to an unknown destination

A twisted soul, an empty head
A heart swallowed in hatred
An empty vase filled with memories
Dark secret lies in shade of speech...

A wine glass was left on the piano keys 
After the masterly perfomance of the
Pianist  that ran behind his mistress
The hidden affair was discovered
Unwrapping a dark secret of years

By the deceived wife who found 
A love letter, perfumed with a rose scent
The pianist decided to leave the town
After his mistress reffused to continue 
Cladenstine romance and the wife 
Decided to start a new life alone

Cake was desirable,
And so deliciously dreamy,
People were attracted emotionally,
Using it when they felt down,
Hiding their dark secret from others,
Feeling guilty about their indulgences,
Uncontrollable affairs,
Enticing and mesmerizing
Entrapping people with sweet charm,
Candlelit nights secluded rendezvous,
Passionate words spoken,
Entrapping with taste,
Sometimes disguising,
With different dressings,
But was the most appealing,
When covered in cream....
