*Never done this one before, hopefully I have it right although it sucks.*


Midnight

Darkness Vanished

Ghostly Companion Sleeps

She Will Dream About Her Tonight

Waking

Reaching
desperately
toward the outstretched hand.
Fingers barely missing flesh on flesh...
Again.

Moon beams
filter softly
beautifully deceiving
through the curtain of sheerly hung clouds.
Futile.

If she
could only reach
into the abyss below.
Could she but grasp those fragile fingers...
Insight.

Inches
seperate her
from the truth that lies below.
She will believe that hand is reaching
for her.

A leap
of childlike faith
would shatter the surface.
Realities reflection revealed
at last.

The hand
she longs to reach...
It was her own outstretched.
Sometimes an inch is simply more
than space.

My addition. Tell me whatcha think!

Pale girl,
don’t scream loudly
so-it isn’t a deeper
pit than love. The rocks not so sharp,
not so

lusty
for your blood and
tears as I, your
jealous green lover. The
crows not so starved for your flesh
as I,

the clouds
not so eager
to enfold and caress
and steal away the breath from your
fairy lips

as I,
your torturer,
your lover, your devil,
your captor, your saviour. Love, scream
louder.

I just realised that I have an extra 4 syllable line in there. Ah, well. Imperfection is the soul of beauty. I'll let it stand. Maybe it'll be a new variation hereafter named for me? ;)

Well, I think that your poem is just fine.
It's filled with both passion and emotion.

Poetry is LIFE!

Life itself can be quite dark so that means
there is room for Dark Poetry.

Dark, Light, Evil, Benevolent, Inspirational,
Angry, Loving, Seductive, you name it, and
you will find countless poems covering it all.

Thanks again for joining us.

It's our policy to move these poems into our lobby
once they are placed here.

I will be doing that now.

Welcome!

thanks,
andy

Meeting
finger whispers,
she feels the kiss of ice
lost where she lay in dark breathing
whimsy


Softly
chasing ripples
unseeing the edged silk
that trace where the mist sought her touch,
her mind


To lie
upon earthen,
stretched to reach the unknown
her words fall to her fingers stiff
no more


She aches
knowing love lost
returning to the wet
where all is quiet and calm there
she cries

Hush now,
the darkness hunts
poised to wrap gray to white
lain on the ledge of sanity’s
whimsy.....

Pool of destiny.

Unseen,
In the moonlight,
She reaches for herself,
To keep herself safe from all time,
She weeps,

The mist,
Shrouds her night time,
As small tears fall so soft,
Into the pool of destiny,
Unheard,

Ageless,
Her reflection,
Always reaches for her,
Yet if their fingers ever touch,
She’ll die,

So she,
Comes to the pool,
Just to admire her past,
Forever locked in timeless peace,
She smiles.

Mirror, oh Mirror


Mirror
Oh, my mirror
Tell me who I may be
Tell me I am the most loved
Mirror

Deep lake
Oh, dear deep lake
Show me the real the true
Show me the dark and light of life
Deep lake

Reflect
Black cold reflect
Watch at my heart and speak
Watch and point me to the right path
Reflect

Mirror
Oh, my mirror
Tell me who I may be
Tell me he is the one and last
Mirror.
