Folder:
Dark Poetry Deep breaths
to frozen lungs.
Cracking callously
are the ladder’s rungs.
Climb and fall
repeat the times
smile at stares
to the broken lines.
Patiently waiting
to cherish this grace.
Asphyxiate in velvet
strangle with lace.
Hunting in faith
the silence we hear.
Inanimate screams
the mute is now fear.
Blurring from edges
to decease all haunted.
Blades of burgundy death
now dull and daunted.
Passing through caverns
of imagined faces
suspension from gallows
are swept in these places.
Affix to the pattern
of inquisitive lies.
Hung from the hallow
the air slowly dies.
Pretending on feelings
and murderous glares
the difference of minds
disconnect pairs.
Stumble on phrases
while expressions are choked
then violent assurance
be simply provoked.
Watching as parting
fading into the scenes
the tainted resplendence
creeps in flawless dreams.
Crawling on shards
glass broken in shame.
Blood flows in somber
rivers so tame.
Weeping on altars
sinners, we bleed.
Crystal tears crimson
stain our unwritten creed.
Cradling the hopeless
we bask in our flaws.
Indelibly labeled
for our silent applause.
Escape into darkness
to beckon the call.
Malignant are we
the angels who fall.
Light emanates from us
we many disposed
endlessly wandering
halls of exposed.
Gracing us present
with horrid tears cried
the amaranth’s petals
have wilted and died.
Repetitive nature.
Banality sets in.
The monotonous bliss
briefly follows within.
Seeking out numbness
void inside to sight.
As emptiness seeps
to we without fight.
Lacking in virtue
seek piece to fill
this puzzle solution
split flesh, open still.
Sinking to fallen
the able reform.
Deception engulfs
to us willing forlorn.
Surviving through madness
our elation on hold
voices call out
resonating in cold.
Etching in pallid
skin so frail.
Stigmatized beauty,
a scar that veils.
Screaming in weakness
for bruises we hide.
Perambulate life
if only to die.
