raised voices warning
thunder awakens lightning
dark thoughts fading

darkened moon
filthy room
five fast bullets
locked and loaded
perilous inches
from my head
fate is held
by my true loves' hand
Tweet your dark thoughts to all you choose

colours bright an beautiful,
can move your face to smile,
stay away from dull and grey,
let dark thoughts wait awhile ...

Focus on winning
Simple when the mind's at ease
And heartbeats steady,
But in love, fears bring along
Dark thoughts to challenge your poise
Oh the stealth of those shadows which come cloaked in the black of night ....
bringing with them dark thoughts which haunt the souls of men.
Dark thoughts twitching on a nightstand.
Wrinkled -bloated-bloodied.
Like an ancient boxing glove.
Powerless-broken-longshot.
A dead sea scroll- smoldering.
In the chambers of a burned-out heart.
Happy and warm,
Laying in your arms.
No harm here,
Just two hearts.
They beat in synch
As i look into your eyess
Dark thoughts fade,
And finally die,
For now, i know
That you will never say goodbye.
kite firm in hand no sun no wind no string
spiritually bankrupt
dark thoughts stir up a breeze

Little by little
Fear forms whittle
Dimming soul’s light
Day and night
Crouched in fright
Dark thoughts belittle
Our mindful eye
Thus does decry
Onset of grief
Ego, joys thief
To get relief
We wingless fly
Confined to my home, night and day,
housed like a prisoner for twenty years.
My Agoraphobia will never go away.
Dark thoughts trigger copious tears,
I’m terrified of leaving these walls of gray.
She had been stalked
Dark thoughts draped in silence
Ranting
Gnawing
Suckling
At the breast of doubt
Whimpering
In the shadowed suffering
Of idled indecision
Held hostage
By the blank page

I had a bad day
yesterday
trying my best to put
it aside and put
my happy face on
but it seems to be gone
I'll start with a smile
and go the extra mile
to put aside dark thoughts
and do what I ought
and try to make today
a good day!
I wish had the pure heart as you say
I get tempted in various ways
I do have dark thoughts, filthy desires
But amongst all these
There is little ray of light
A glimmer of hope
That upholds my strive
to keep whatever innocence left in me- Alive
Form:
I never grew in poverty, or without a stroke of love.
Still I hold my tears at night, but what am I afraid of?
The dark of night can welcome dreams, but dark thoughts come with time.
Maybe fear comes with knowing that these thoughts are only mine.
Form:
the sun will surely shine again ~ know that
your dark thoughts are merely passing clouds
drifting across the mind of lonely skies

When I cry dark thoughts come to mind.
My evil spirits arise, taking me by surprise.
The darkness of the night,
feeds my hunger till the morning light.
My demons come alive.
my drive for the kill.
the thirst for the blood
surrounds me till I wake.
The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak.
The light for which I lust for flares once,
Then dies, swallowed by the abyss.
All hope perishes,
My heart beats no more.
How could you not understand,
My dark thoughts surround me, crying.
Save me from myself.
Eden lies within;
No physical place;
We could all be in
A real Eden if
We looked to find it.
Inside one’s self
With no dark thoughts;
Communing with,
Higher spirits.
Go inside
Of yourself;
Search your soul.
Peace you
Will find...
There.
Under the cover of deep darkness
Hidden in some obscure corner
Cowering beneath layers of blankets,
My head wrapped in scarves
buried under a pile of pillows…
No matter what,
Oh, upon my poor soul,
I just couldn’t hide from my thoughts.
~A Brian Strand contest.
Fear forms frighten, our dreams control
Wherefrom do they arise
Let then pristine silence patrol
Dark thoughts that may surprise
We are the conjurer
Also the prisoner
Released in soft prayer
Feel noose tighten
Fear forms frighten

Quietus
The darkling sky
Gives me a reason why
Why I look out to stare
Stare at what's worth not
Nothing but thoughts
Thoughts of fur and flesh
Flesh that shields
Shielded emotions I convey
Conveyed slow dark thoughts
Just to stare outta my window
To find the darkling sky
Ohhhh what a while...
Dark is the night
In deep dark flight
Grim is the sway
In sad grim play
Harsh is the pain
In blunt harsh strain
Pain cuts the flesh
In mad pain dash
Surge of odd feel
In deep surge grills
Shades of dark thoughts
In mad shades plot

Extract crimson hope, ruthless needles
Distract my dark thoughts, bleeding ink
Contact sanitized gloved sensations
Contract, as cancerous demons shrink
Dew pretty mornings carry fever
Blue icepacks chase lush, littered heat
Too many germs lurk everywhere - our
New normal household, bittersweet

Dark thoughts spill out of my head
I lay it down on paper with pencil led
holding onto good times from a small thread
as if they disappear every time I grab this pen
so how hard can it really be to find treasured friends
I'd rather wither an die in ignorance
but in the end I'll still yearn to repeat it all again.
