Echoes

I fall asleep in clouds of snow white and baby blue
I stand tall in the middle of nowhere if only you knew
I call out to you - echoes protrude through the air
Despair filters through the darksome atmosphere

In Union

I kissed you soft in the sunlight
You held me tight in the night
Together we blazed the fires
Of our darksome souls so bright.

You wrapped your heart in mines
And I felt your love so strong
A new rare joy has just begun
Beating our hearts as one.

Greek Sonnet

Greek Sonnet 

I write Dionysus poetry 
With a dash of Apollo,
This because darksome poetry
Can kill hope 
And become cynical – we don´t
Want to lose all hope. 
Too much Apollo 
On the other hand
And we lose sight of reality 
Therefor the two gods 
Compliments each other so 
We don´t sink into despondency 
And not into 
Hysterical harp playing lyricism
Form: Sonnet

The Darkling Prince

Oh darksome prince,
how I bowed at your feet
you asked me for bourbon 
and nothing to eat
  I followed you close
as a pitiful pet
you gave me a pill 
thatwould make me forget
  But I must remember
with switches and whips
to punish myself
for the taste
of your lips
  your lips and your arms
oh darkling devine
imprison my soul
'til the last drop of time.
Form: Couplet

The Monster Inside

There are darksome days Those storms we all must ride But the greatest storm of all Is the monster tucked inside. It brings out the worst in you When sullen days would creep Its like a raging storm reposing In a gladsome heart so deep. Only in moments to come alive When emotions tough are grind But its hard to tame the fires Of a proud and monstrous mind.
