A difficult day

                  She prepares food for tonight.

He Has Risen

Amidst glittering sunbeams
Total darkness dissipates in
His shining light
To the sound of blaring trumpets
A chorus of angels sings
Hosanna He has risen.

Premium Member Transition

When you
Feel that you are
Sinking hopelessly and
Your world is crumbling in pieces
Drowning in a well without remedy
Exist two paths you can select
Stay in total darkness 
Or seek the light
You choose

Premium Member Paris

Paris, France is great especially when at dusk. Much beauty abounds. Crepuscular light before the total darkness enhances beauty. Wonder of Europe like a jewel in a case. Canvas comes alive!

This Can'T Be Good

My deepest fears are coming true
Total darkness  bleeding through
Raging inferno that's within my soul
No longer I desire to maintain control
Exposing the darkness for all to see
"Reveal your demon!" they beg of me


Darkness the Cannibal

A breakfast of sunrise,
clear blue sky luncheon,
and a supper of sunset
defeats darkness rising.
 
Shadows remain behind,
lying down buries their existence.

Total darkness is a cannibal 
that feed on lighter shade shadows.

Premium Member Starlight

Sensual heavenly bodies
Tempting man to risk it all
Answer to a lovers dream
Reclining under with moonbeams
Light years away they do shine
Immittting wave lengths our eyes blind
Great excitement when one falls
Halting me in my steps to stare 
Total darkness shows them all

Love Darkness

Bight blue skys with 
fluffy clouds
i need total darkness
i love the smell of
decaying rotting flesh
i could be a zombie
at the end of the world
i will never go hungry
it is getting harder for
me to tell dreams
from reality
my thoughts are clouded
i'm thirsty for a 
drink of your blood
Form: Verse

Lies

How do I live with all these lies,
falling from the skies,
I have no answers,
no truths to live by.

I'm losing grip of my chance,
letting go of my stance,
Living with lies,
that ruin many lives.

People call me heartless,
but I live in total darkness,
People tell me I should die,
and its all a goodbye......

Treason

Creeping in total darkness,
No wait for any sunshine,
Day he betrayed my true love,
passion bled to death.

All yearnings laid to rest,
bliss was only a deceit,
Wreathed my soul, whipped unsaid words
of treacherousness.

Premium Member ZOMBIE READY

Human’s ready to serve
Zombie’s flesh crave
Human’s have no time left
Hungry in wanting
Appetite in needing
Thirst for blood
Head to toe serving
Eat day and night
Human’s get no sleep in plight
Total darkness with no light
Danger Danger Danger
Zombies enter
Eat in content
Flesh to bones
Never be alone
Zombie eat up

One Step To Freedom

Standing at the pointed edge of this cliff,
Staring down at the jagged rocks below...
Still holding the fraying ropes of life,
Hanging from above...
Wondering... I Shrug,
Should I just let go?
Supposedly a light at the end of the tunnel,
Just how long is this winding road?
Total darkness along the way...
Just too tired of the never ending cold!

Memories Gone

Blank images of times gone by
invisibly reflecting opaquely within.
Expecting a response, but none given.
Empty pages turned, why?
Nothing said.  Nothing read.

Like an extinguished light
Or the flip of a switch
In total darkness, like at night.
Years, as life, slip away
Unable to locate any fond memories
Searching within, still nothing to say.

One Step Forward

Standing at the pointed edge of this cliff,
Staring down at the jagged rocks below...
Holding the fraying rope of life hanging from above.
Wondering, I shrug...
Should I just let go?

Supposedly a light at the end of the tunnel,
Just how long is this winding road?
Complete n' total darkness along the way...
So damn tired of this never ending cold!

Darkness and Confusion

I thought I found love. I thought happiness came true. But now I’m confused More than ever. I thought the sun would shine, I thought the rain had stopped. But my dais remain to be grey. I’m at lost for words, I’m out of thoughts, I’m covered in total darkness, I’m freezing cold, I’m blind in the dark And all I do is pray For light to bring day.

Reversal of Fortunes

C-ome into reversal of fortunes,
H-igh time to turn your world around;
E-arly January thirty-first,
L-ove, faith, and hope are found.

A-fter years of total darkness,
L-ight has finally shown up;
Q-uitting was not in your mind,
U-nceasing search did not stop.
I-n spite of all setbacks,
Z-eal has done more actions;
A-rdent trust has let you
R-each the reversal of fortunes.

Darkness

I woke up in total darkness
It was freezing
Colder than ice shivers run down my back
God is reaching his hand to me 
But I reject and look away
I was alone
I always was and forever will be
I am blind and have no help
No guidance anywhere when will I see the light?
When will I have meaning?
Is it too late?
My throat is closing
 I can’t take in air
 It hurts too much
I have fallen
I AM DEAD

Premium Member Grandma Low's Doughnuts

In total darkness flesh rests
and at first light rises.
Sky blue eyes search 
bibles and cookbooks for direction.
Bless cheeks with pink powder blush.
Punch dough down.
Dress fingers in white flour dust.
Invoke a flame.
She commands all the elements,
motions us to stand and watch
at her tall stove-pot.
We peer over the edge
into galaxies of hot oil.
Planets pop and bob into life.
Aroma undoes us and
time floats hellishly slow.

A Comet

Fly in the sky, you, giant hornet,  
towards the sun, against the wind.
Shine in the light, eccentric comet,
into the dark you`d better fling.

Arrange the show and die in harness,
let here star shower`s hour run.
You – surveyor`s stake in total darkness,
Cosmos is not for sign a bar.

Exhaust yourself in fleeting dancing,
let after all the summer fun,
and rush away, you, cosmic lancer,
to catch up with a falling sun.

A Revelation


                         Adrift alone in silence amidst total darkness

                      I sense the universe as a warm sparkling vessel

                            Not fragments of insignificant frigid orbs

                      A throbbing heart embedded with infinite dreams

                   For weary eyes in search of meaning and possibilities

Only a Dream

AS YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, WHATS THE FIRST THING YOU SEE?,,, IS IT TOTAL DARKNESS, 
OR DO YOU SEE ME?,,, DO I LIVE IN YOUR HEART, OR JUST YOUR MEMORY ALONE?,,, DO 
YOU FEEL MY SPIRIT, OR IS WHAT YOU FEEL COLD LIKE STONE?,,, ARE YOU COVERED IN 
DARKNESS, NOT KNOWING WHICH WAYS UP?,,, JUST KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED AND BE 
LED BY MY TOUCH!,,, AS YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, IS IT THE LIGHT  THAT YOU SEE,,, NOW 
YOU'VE AWAKENED TO FIND, "It was only a DREAM" :rose

Mixed Emotions

living in a shadows blackness 
in a room of total darkness 
taking life a step at a time 
trying to find this emotion of mine 
stop and take a long deep breathe 
never shall you stop to rest 
trying hard to hold on tight 
dont let go without a fight 
falling down a twisted protal 
dont you wish you were immortal? 
now to die the sacred death 
hurry, take your one last breathe 
let one more tear fall from your eye 
before you shrivel up and die.

Premium Member What Dreams May Come

I startled awake, early Sunday morning,
fraught - my mind, darting like a panicked animal
because my assignment calendar 
is wet, smeared and illegible!

Total darkness - I fish for my phone by it’s cord - it reads 3:08am.

I flop back onto a cloud of thick, memory foam.
Ahhh, jeeez, it was just a DREAM.

Of course, my assignment calendar 
is safe, digital, redundant, cloud backed up.

“THAT was a little morbid.” I think,
as I drift back out of consciousness.

-headache-

In total darkness
my head is pounding
pain lurking in the back of my eye lids
body's weak

Stomach is nauseous
shivering as goose bumps race up and down my body
I toss and turn in bed
unable to relax

Taken four to six pills
cold wash cloth over my head
pillow pulled tight over my eyes
but, nothing seems to work

Ways to cure my pounding head
control my breathing, calmly in and out
clear my mind, slowly falling asleep
and vision sweet ecstasy with you in my head

Premium Member What If Jesus Had Never Come

Where would we be today?
 if Jesus had never come
 and if we never had his word
 we indeed would be spiritually dumb

 If we had no spiritual laws
 no laws to live by
 spiritually blind in total darkness
 our breath about to die

 Living for this earth bound time
 no future past our death
 what a thought to contemplate
 taking for granted our very breath

 But praise be to God
 we have Jesus the word incarnate
 blessed of the blessed indeed
 awaiting our eternal state
