Blue-Black

Deeper into the blue
My indigo shines bitter and cruel
Darkly ablaze through velvet haze
Like the wilting rays of a world-weary sun

Premium Member Sunshine Blackberries

I stop to eat them
so ripe succulent and sweet
darkly delicious

afternoon music
joins the raptures of the hour
golden in all ways

Sleep

Daylight sparkling
Rushing vehicles
Deadlines looming
Sweating and running.

I love sleep.
Darkly stripping.
Softly slipping.
Deepness, forgetting.

Day and Night For Pure Curious

daylight 
shows odd joking 
active color of world;
into pure inquisitive soul
darkly night brings a holy mysticism

Deeply, dangerously, 
daringly, darkly
defiantly, deadly
deftly, dumbly

disgustingly dis-guarded

Overload

Heavily, darkly, cracked by light and
 splintering shadows, cracking,
   scratching out thoughts like
     sandpaper grit,
       popping on the creases of my mind.

Mona Lisa

Beautiful lady with a secretive smile
Mysterious eyes darkly framed
Many an artist amazed by this style
Her beauty rare and unclaimed
No cold and lonely work of art
art
Form: Ekphrasis

The Quiet

sailing sea in troubled storm
of night and darkly waters
guide the way and see me through
horizon, a breath away
closer now than before
bring me to peace
and the quiet

In Spire

INSPIRE
In  a glass darkly,
Newness ensues.
Swimming to the surface,
Planning to explode and
Inspire others to act.
Running to the light.  An 
Ending that is a beginning.

Food Network

the food looks good
cheese on things
peas and beer
the food looks good
toast and oysters
sauce on beef
a darkly browned, crispy 
cut of chicken with rice
the food looks good

Tuesday

When I by mistake see myself
reflected in a window,darkly.
An old man with a rabbit back
and surprised eyes. I know;
the next poem will be rain.
The trees outside will crowd me.

Within

Writhing thoughts tangle and swirl
Inside my head, darkly
Teasing and taunting making me long
Hoping for light so sweet
Inside my head I'm already dead
Nothing but light can atone

Premium Member Suppertime

A golden eagle soars above the craggy mountain range; his shadow looms darkly. Unsuspecting prairie dog, walks alone… Oops! No more; eagle takes home his supper.

Sunset

Burning fire of colors.
Mixing like paint,
Spreading across a blank white canvas.
Leaping and swirling.
Across a darkly, fading sky.
Glorious and golden,  
bring a new day filled with light.

The mists of life rise and fall
As we seek to discern our call.
In our human strength,
We stumble,day by day
To find the narrow path;
Then ,enlightened by his grace
We quench the inner quest.

Premium Member Reprimand

Listen to poem:
Still, chimney birds emerge,
cobweb-coated, darkly blithe --
to skim the sky's everted
bowls of purple porcelain
and to utter their gray-tinged
raucous cries at evening:
a reprimand, and sorrow.

After the Romance

after the romance
came boredom and arguments
then divorce papers

*hope this isn’t too bleak – I read the form should be cynical or darkly humorous

Synnestar

its darkly sinister, the smoke it swirls slow
down below are the throws and remains of our souls
wicked winds are a given of winged breezes hidden
on dust as our dusk flocks with nightmarish vision

heavy stench of guilt hanging
all eyes fixed on me

Through the Glass Darkly

Poets believe
they were born out of time,
each era too early, too late,
out of rhyme

Creations main doctrine
for those so inclined
connects what’s unspoken
—to a far greater mind

Premium Member Sweet Summertime

darkly goes the moon
lost to golden yellow day
at last summer's here

happy people dance
sunshine forests lemon lime
birds sing night and day

heat and ice cream treats
sunlit clouds-milk and honey
vibrancy thrumming
Form: Haiku

Premium Member Summer Nights

Drifting darkly, memories swirling upward
snarled in spiders' frightfully webs spun, hoping
peace comes soon with fierceness. Her anti-venom
saves me from bug bites.

Darkness2

darkness reigns beyond the pale, the downcast experience it and fail, to see a new horizon, when anger burns the ones we meet, see darkly, hatred indescreet, keeps sanity from rising? thanks Russell....Don Johnson

Through the

Glass darkly..

An oldie

But goodie..

The glass

Is not dark

Or light

There is

No glass at all..

There is a

Story starring

A character 

Believing

She is 

Waiting for

The dawn...
