Dark Poems

[SCYTHE]

Here comes the dawn of a new day
Comes without a light, it's grey
Grey as yesterday
The frozen ground keeps sleeping
Under my feet
Everything feels cold
It's my inner fear
Could you save me
Break the chains around my heart
Set me free
Let me breathe and let me fly
Away, away
Faces look cruel in the twilight
No smiles for anyone
Darkness has captured my mind
It's eternal autumn
Lives in me
No place to hide
No place to escape (I've tried!)
I'm not strong enough to run

[SCYTHE]

I linger in twilight since you left
and listen to a world of silence,
lost in the cold and endless depth
of myself, a world of decadence.

Moments as days, hours as years
of staring into nothing pass me by,
visions, summons, and dark fears,
a world of memories wishing to die.

You locked my hopes inside me
hungry as worms devouring corpses
and, secretly, threw away the only key
along with a world of promises.

Now I have to rot and decompose
in a world of hate and scorn...
until one day, to feed another rose
in this world of worlds I'll be reborn

[SCYTHE]

I breathe in and out,
Soundlessly,

The world is quiet around me,
I feel alone,
Depressed,
Sun-down,

I breathe in again,
And out,
Unleashing my worries,

I am calm,
I listen,
Trying to break out of the shell,

I am still alone,
No care,
No friendship,
No love,
Nothing,
Dawns over me,

I breathe,
One last time,
Before feeling the pain,

I am alone,
In the dark,
I exhale,
Leaving the trace of breath,
The trace,
That breath is leaving me,
I feel Sun-down,
Depressed,
Alone,
I am

[SCYTHE]

I’m hurting real bad inside
As I taste every tear that I cry
Trying not to let the feelings show
But here they are any way
It hurts to be alone so bad
No one to talk to, I am so freaking sad
There’s no one here but me
And my tears and one by one they pour
I’m not saying this for sympathy
Or for anyone to feel sorry for me
I just wished someone was here
To help me get over these damn tears
I am just sad and in great pain
Sitting around with heartache
I just don’t know how to stop the rain

A Poem by Redneck Angel

[دل تنگم]

,His eyes are quickened so with grief
He can watch a grass or leaf
Every instant grow; he can
,Clearly through a flint wall see
Or watch the startled spirit flee
.From the throat of a dead man
Across two counties he can hear
.And catch your words before you speak
The woodlouse or the maggot's weak
,Clamour rings in his sad ear
And noise so slight it would surpass
,Credence--drinking sound of grass
Worm talk, clashing jaws of moth
;Chumbling holes in cloth
The groan of ants who undertake
Gigantic loads for honour's sake
;(Their sinews creak, their breath comes thin)
,Whir of spiders when they spin
And minute whispering, mumbling, sighs
.Of idle grubs and flies
,This man is quickened so with grief
He wanders god-like or like thief
,Inside and out, below, above
.Without relief seeking lost love


by Robert Graves

[دل تنگم]

-- Now I knew I lost her
-- Not that she was gone
But Remoteness travelled
.On her Face and Tongue

Alien, though adjoining
-- As a Foreign Race
Traversed she though pausing
.Latitudeless Place

-- Elements Unaltered
Universe the same
-- But Love's transmigration
-- Somehow this had come

Henceforth to remember
Nature took the Day
-- I had paid so much for
His is Penury
Not who toils for Freedom
Or for Family
But the Restitution
.Of Idolatry

by Emily Dickinson

[دل تنگم]

lonely in a crowd
different from the rest
separate, apart
,because of change
experiences they can’t understand
choices and experiments taken
can I fit within their world
relate on some common level
when my life and theirs
exist on different planes

,the gulf so wide
land so foreign
in familiar surroundings

miles away
even at home

by Raymond A. Foss

[SCYTHE]

Day burns my thoughts
Light scars my eyes; hides life
Darkness saves me
In darkness I can see
I fear the light;
It steels my time and night
Darkness is peace
I will fight through the light
Darkness please stay
Without you I am lost

People are strange when youre a stranger
Faces look ugly when youre alone
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange
People are strange when youre a stranger
Faces look ugly when youre alone
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange

[SCYTHE]

Are you there?
Is it wonderful to know
All the ghosts...
All the ghosts...
Freak my selfish out
My mind is happy
Need to learn to let it go
I know you'd do no harm to me

But since you've been gone I've been lost inside
Tried and failed as we walked by the riverside
Oh I wish you could see the love in her eyes
The best friend that eluded you lost in time
Burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind

But what can I say now?
And It couldn't be more wrong
Cos there's no one there
Unmistakably lost and without a care
Have we lost all the love that we could share
And its wearing me down
And its turning me round
And I can't find a way
Now to find that it out
Where are you when I need you...

Are you there?l
