"darkess" poems
Heart of darkness
transcend some light
you confused the body and soul.
Heart of darkness
your youthful years
were gracious and gleaming
you loved with gregariousness.
Heart of darkness
blindsided by tainted love
it saturated the body and soul
Heart of darkness
forgive and forget
ratify a truce with love,
Let love in.
Heart of darkness
bruises heal in time
in love there is fear
however, perfect love
casts aside doubt.
Heart of darkness
sadness interferes with hope
we were saved in this hope
hope that is seen is not hope
leaving only trust.
Heart of darkess
the essence of hope
the secret to victorious living
lies in seeing good
in every situation that comes into our lives
Heart of darkness
Let love in....

Dolls and Damns
Drunkards and Drifts
Dimples and Darkess
Dank and Dreamy
I am trying to set free

We seek out a new world
explore what we can
Find to creatures in the land
whether you be a woman or man
You dive headfirst into the challenge
Not prepared for what might happen
To find what was lost
and bring back home
just to study the unknown
Suppiles is limited so use it wisely
Time is percious
but don't rush
Be aware of what lurks in the dark
animals like we've never seen before
hidden deep with the ground
Some may hide out of fear
of what could be there
But in your mind
you say
"You never know until you get there"
living by your words
Even if it means
travelling to the darkess city
or a lost forest
even a cave no one has ever seen.
You do it for the fun
and for the rush
It's like a new adventure every day
"What's next?"
is what you'd say

She touches me and knows not why and that frightens her.
She's the only one that can make me cry, so she wonders.
How can I let her know I'm no threat just an admirer.
I only wish to touch her kaleidoscope heart as when friends confer.
Yet she watches me from a distance and that distance she keeps.
The longer she stays away the harder my battered soul weeps.
I have no dark motive nor any sinister plans.
Even if I desired, I could never be what she demands.
I guess convincing her of this is completely out of my hands.
So in the darkess corner of her mind is where I'll remain...is where I'll stand.

The darkness consumes my every thought dragging me to the corners of my mind.
There I find the memories of days gone by, hurt that was forgotten and joy never known.
My silent torment remains silent as the screams for help echo in the hollwness of the memories I store.
why won't they help me? Cant they hear me cry for someone to save me from myself, from that monster that haunts when I am unguarded and weak. That monster that stole my innocence that stole my childhood, and it wasn't alone as most monster aren't. God help the child trapped in this wretched soul for it is damaged and broken.
To repair a soul, a mind is almost impossible for you can't recover what was lost in a sea of darkess and fear. Forgivness would be a start to finding peace ost would say, but that is an elusive response to the evil that lurks in my memories, and futile to seek that which does not come.
I know the Lord has forgiven me for my past and sin, but I am not so easily persuaded to forive such hurt and betrayal of innocenece. The monster that brought the evil upon me is the worste some would say, but I beg to differ seeing the unknowing accomplice (those with the power to help but not the courage) the worste evil of them all and never worthy of forgivenenss.

Introducing you to the metal that I use to paint
But everytime I use this; I always faint
I'm carving it to my skin like a masterpiece
And everytime I do this it reminds me of broken pieces
I am the red artist in the dark night
The artist who lost her will to fight
So here am I trying to make an art
To my skin and to add bleeding to my heart
My works are not even worthy
They are calling it ******
But seeing my blood in my skin
I am an artist through thick and thin
You are judging me from what you saw
Not even knowing what's behind of my flaws
The best artist that people never noticed
Is now fighting with words as a poetess
The red blood on the floor
Symbolizes that I will now close the door
Of the darkess which I live in
And to my dear self, for how long since it has been?

We are the hopeless
We are the lost
We are the ones who fight the hardest
Then fall and drown in our own blood
We are the ones with hearts made of steel
Icy cold and burning hot,
Either way, you can’t melt the part of us
That is dark
(Dark)
You cannot find us,
Because we are dark
(Dark)
You cannot save us,
Because we are dark
(Darkness is the air we breathe,
Darkess is a smothering sea)
We are all dark hearts,
And we feel nothing but this pain
When we walk, it is with heavy footsteps
When we talk, it is with
Voices barely there
We are the poor souls
Caught in the landslide
And no one can us scream
“Help me!”
And we give up our last breath and fade
Into the dark
(Dark)
You cannot find us,
Because we are dark
(Dark)
You cannot save us,
Because we are dark
(Darkness is the air we breathe,
Darkess is a smothering sea)
We are all dark hearts,
And we feel nothing but this pain
Don’t try to prove to us that there is love
Don’t show us a world that is absent of pain
Don’t try to tell us that we are okay
Don’t you understand,
We can’t take your hand
Because
The darkness is contagious
The darkness is contagious
(Dark)
You cannot find us,
Because we are dark
(Dark)
You cannot save us,
Because we are dark
(Darkness is the air we breathe,
Darkess is a smothering sea)
We are all dark hearts,
And we feel nothing but this pain
We feel nothing but this pain
Weighing us down
Tarnishing our souls
Don’t ever try to tell us that we
Are anything but
Dark.

I'm walking down the street,
cars passing by.
As I think of the days,
the times you were mine.
Don't you realize,
how much I miss you ?
Wishing you were here with me,
in all that I do.
Maybe, just maybe,
I want you to talk to me.
Make an effort to be here,
don't you see?
I've fallen like a fool,
for you, my dear.
Oh darling, why can't you,
be around to gather my tears.
As I walk down the street,
in compelete darkess it seems.
I'm alone, I'm alone,
falling apart at the seams.
I'm spiraling into a world unknown,
unlike those before.
You say we're friends, but hunny,
I can't help wanting more.

I see a darkness in you.
The same darkness I see in me.
I also see a ray of light,
Reflecting, shining, a brilliance not many people have.
I'm messed up, my head down the gutter.
And I run. I run from the hollowness and I run from the dark.
And I'll keep running until I'm shown the light shines from me.
You saw the light,
The light I could not see.
You showed me that I too have a light,
A light that refracts like a diamonds, shining colours and splitting, allowing others to see and feel the warmth.
Though I still see the darkness, though it only mimics what once was.
you have shown me a light that I can make shine bright.
You helped show me thatI am more than the hole which tears my heart apart.
You helped show me that I too can be brilliant and I too can shine like a bursting star.
I could destroy galaxies and planets and be something so destructive.
But instead, you turned me int a light that shines so bright I keep other planets alive.
You'll never see or understand how much you've done for me.
How much you've shared or how your kindness has brought meinto the light.
I was a destroyer
I thought I was the darkness
But you've shown me that I am better.
Now I am the light.
Now I can be brilliant.
I know what you've given me.
And I am so eternally grateful.
But the darkess still seeps in. It still stays.
It creeps in at night when I'm feeling low.
Sometimes i miss the dark because it was so easy.
But I hold onto the light because the light shines through the darkness.

I could have kissed you
In the garden, with cold hands and muddled stars
My fingertips tracing patterns in the semi darkess - you trace back , you reciprocate
(do you feel the same? can I ever know you?)
I push back baby hairs, kiss your forehead
Night makes kings and fools of all of us
Staring in the quiet, numb fingers pull on yours
(you reciprocate)
(you are like me, but you say so many words, words to make trivial a kiss, yet words to make heavy this night)
Past faces and wandering hands come into view
I loved her, yet what she did was not love
Is this different?
Are you different?
And I could have kissed you ( I should have kissed you ) but a sober heart keeps you not quite close.
I have loved, and I could love again
The future, hold my heart, not missing a beat.

winter winds upon this land
clawing me clamy hands
the recluse in me , stems the tides
of emotions cultivated deep inside
such sentiments had warmed my soul
of future days and times of old
shall I scratch this itch, a thousand times more
or let sleeping dogs lie, never to be told
shall I stand poised on this joist
debating the reasons for choice
and hear that familiar voice
"how far is heaven" and the ultimate rejoice
no, i will let the winter winds claw at me
let it's darkess cold once again teach
that the recluse in me and all it brings
warm my soul, anticipating a new spring

It seem wicked and unnatural..
Something from another realm..
Yet the music it played was coming from me..
So I knew I was somewhat of the source..
I could feel it wanting my thoughts..
I could feel it becoming happy..
Darkness was smiling..
Darkness was alive also..
With any light I cast this shadow..
It plays for me music of darkness..
Notes and melodies of the shade..
I yearned to play the music inside of me for so long it awoke this musical blackness..
I became friends with it..
I gave it more and more everyday..
And at the right angle I could cast more and more shadows adding more instruments of umbra to my songs..
The best songs come from the shadows cast from candlelight..
The natural flame creates the darkess of shadows..
One is standing in front of me now playing the violin..
And another behind me playing the guitar..
While I sing the lyrics to this music of darkness..

Let 'em look for a brighter one
As you prepare yourself to be one
that will light the way
to someones darkess day anyway
You won't notice until
they told you about
why you're the brightest star they've seen
