Fear exposes the underside
of courage

The weakest point of strength
—a darker shade of truth

Leaving Shadows

Leaving Shadows A falling leaf casts a much darker shadow than the shade tree from which it fell

Amaze

in the darker nights
we yearn for big lovely moon
yet glittering stars
when our black sky dome best sight
amazing and amazed life
Form: Tanka

Dark Thought

The darker side of reflection
  —cast in shadows

The darker side of shadows
 —cast in hell

Summer

Hair gets lighter,
Skin gets darker,
Water gets warmer,
Drinks get colder, 
Music gets louder,
Nights get longer,
Life gets better!

T He Sky's Tears

Clouds cover the sun
endlessly they swirl around 
darker and darker 
the sky turns an inky black 
plip plip the firts rain drops fall

Premium Member The Dark Side

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

A False Bottom

The darker side of morning,
  the drier side of rain

A memory left forgetting
  —a spirit uncontained

Haiku 2

The breeze howls by, 
The thunder's clapping booms
As the cloud becomes darker,
Children dances here and there
It another blessing from above.

A Night Without Light

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

Whisp

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.

Sunless day deepening black Charcoal grey, no light shining Clouds rampant, darker, so cold Rolls in sleepless night

During Rainy Days

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... !

Rebel

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...

Lines

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.

A Family Affair

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.

Red Pill

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.

Darker Hues

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)

Premium Member Waiting For a Clue

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

Premium Member Ode To Birdy

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.
Form: Limerick

Tides

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.

Days

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_
