Fear exposes the underside
of courage
The weakest point of strength
—a darker shade of truth
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
Leaving Shadows
A falling leaf
casts a much
darker shadow
than the
shade tree
from which
it fell
in the darker nights
we yearn for big lovely moon
yet glittering stars
when our black sky dome best sight
amazing and amazed life
The darker side of reflection
—cast in shadows
The darker side of shadows
—cast in hell
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)
Hair gets lighter,
Skin gets darker,
Water gets warmer,
Drinks get colder,
Music gets louder,
Nights get longer,
Life gets better!
Clouds cover the sun
endlessly they swirl around
darker and darker
the sky turns an inky black
plip plip the firts rain drops fall
Dissolve your genuine self
hide your natural traits
deny your heritage
forsake social interests
and embrace the darker side of love.
Noon sky grows darker
Dead leaves float slowly away
A storm has arrived

The darker side of morning,
the drier side of rain
A memory left forgetting
—a spirit uncontained
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2019)
The breeze howls by,
The thunder's clapping booms
As the cloud becomes darker,
Children dances here and there
It another blessing from above.
It seems so dark, darker than usual,
I wonder what it feels like to have a clear sight.
I keep my eyes open wide,
While I pursue a ray of light.
In days of old and grey sky
Everything was darker nigh
And the clouds always float high
Rains put gloom and sigh
Russell Sivey
Your hair glow's and your eye's shine's,
Bringing me darker into the light,
I feel your pain, I feel your might,
As you whisp me away into the night.
Face Numb
Breathless Lungs
Head Hung
Tears Fall
Body Shakes
Nothing Left To Take
Hearts Racing
Minds Changing
Light Fades
Time For Darker Days
Form:
Sunless day deepening black
Charcoal grey, no light shining
Clouds rampant, darker, so cold
Rolls in sleepless night
Russell Sivey
When it rains mostly
heavy rain, darker
are the days...
the most obscure
the world is,
plus yellow suns are drawn
on the white papers
of little ones... !
Let the Martyr's know
She was no saint
She sinned in darker ways than most
Like the power of a silent ocean
You could not tell
Unless she spoke
Really spoke...
Faint pink lines
upon her skin.
Some are light,
other are darker.
Some are older,
others newer.
None the less
the same pain.
Sometimes sweet
other times bitter.
Form:
I am the darker brother
If you are confused
Wait until you see our father
My mother swells well
Too. She is the fairer sex
There are miles to walk
Between her tears and God.
I've slept with shadows,
and bathed in ink,
living half my life- blind,
a thoughtless blink.
But now the truth
is darker still,
and colour drains,
with each red pill.
True palettes of nature,
our souls are reframed by difficult things
The hues growing darker
—forever to color the struggle within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Rubenesque dots prancing on gorgeous symmetry
Darker on bottom and brilliantly light at the top
My artist heart studies them carefully
Waiting for a clue how to begin to paint
Thanking goes far among our humankind,
Stops short however on the darker side -
Whole wild universe
Bears poor poultry’s curse -
Touching thanks to turkey, roasted or fried.
My heart is darker than the water since you left.
I feel you in the wind, our spirits live on through the people around me.
Their laughter reminds me of us.
When we were happy.
It's easier said than done
Brushing away the darker days
Holding on being totally fake
Smiling till your teeth shake
Despair in your very make
Crouching under the barrage of hearsays_
