Deep Passions

One sitting quietly
Thinking of life’s tranquility
Reading poems of passion
Reading poems of despair
Releasing feelings, if one dares
All this in DP Fashion

Making us feel
What is real
In a life so mundane
As questions
Of love and sorrow
Drive us insane

We cry we laugh we shed a tear
We find all the reality
Of the darkest nights
As we help each other see
Through the loud thunder
And the severe Hail
You gave me courage
Each and every time I fell

Though most of what I write
Is loving, funny or light
I can’t always be this way
Happy go-lucky and gay
There comes that brooding time
When I want to switch my rhyme
When my happiness is crashin’
I need to write in Dark Passion!

When my words had no voice
and the pain filled my mind,
I had no way of release
but then I was lucky to find
What has become my haven
to which I may spill my soul
Now my spirit sings powerfully,
no longer living in a hole
It is a place of brotherhood
like a safe harbor for mending
So this is why to Dark Passions,
all my gratitude I'm sending

In times of trial
When I hurt and despair
A friend in our haven
Is always there
Though I feel down and alone
And life crumbles and falls
To lift my burden
Come passionate calls
For the cycle of life
With its ups and downs
Will never destroy me
As long as DP's around

A poet unknown,
unloved and alone.
starts emotional healing
living in her new home.

Heart wrenching feeling,
such personal tales.
Someone always cares,
friends there without fail.

As poets we know
Where our fellow poets go
To feel love in their heart
May we never be apart
Here at Dark Passions....
Forever Friends

Darkened by shadows cast,
We live our lives, deprived but not forgotten
In our shadowy haven, bound by misery
Yet freed by compassion, we learn
The brightest light, burns in the darkest night

and that light shall never go out
as I sit and I wait for the dawn
watching for DP to emerge and to shout
healing the heart that is torn
waiting, contemplating, hoping not moping
finding my voice on DP's forum

I could recount all the pain that I've felt,
But I'm not sure you would believe me.
But I don't miss my loss,
I've finally found,
My friends in DP who won't leave me.

These words we shape are delicate
flowers conceived on tongue
from gentle whisper, laughter, yearning
scream or sigh each bellows from poetic lungs.
Brothers and sisters let us join
in this chorus and celebrate the Dark forum.

What I have learnt
what I have felt
Occasions and much situations
Of which I have dealt
The journey of life
Sometimes fruitless and bare
The feeling and thoughts of being here
But not exactly being there
A place where thought rides free
A cyber union of minds
With the gift of having friends and words
With each of us treasuring this gift divine

Existing in a mind
often harsh and unkind
drenched in darkness and despair
never thinking another could understand or share.
Here, in DP, I have found
minds that understand and abound.
The "Queen of Darkness" has found a comforting home
far from being unkindly judged and alone.
With forked tongue and disturbing word,
here I may scream silently and always be heard.
For this I thank you,
Thank you all and if you should ever stumble into my darkness
I will greatiously cradle you as you fall.

Reading poems intently
taking all to heart
waiting to hear
what others will impart
what joys and sorrows
I do share here.
With so many
when my life seems unclear
and when I seem to stray
away
Some dear heart in my
email will impart
the importance of my being
at DP.

Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Ahhhhhh you gave me light

To all my Dark Passion friends

This is really a work of art guys...
I never dreamed that so many different poets could create something that just flows so well.  This is a little bit of each of our hearts in this.

Thanks a lot and keep it up!
