the poet's words are fearful
fearful of the light
they search through tunnels
dark
for a place to hide
the feelings rage in agony
poisoned by such silence
no outlet
no way to stop the violence
her heart is pinned against
a wall
beaten as a slave
unmerciful reality
chains her to their graves...

dg,
Beaten by fearful, violent words?  Hmmm.  Dark indeed.  Or maybe I'm reading something you didn't write?  (Happens to me too.)

Welcome to Passions!  Your poem is definitely dark, but well done.  

unmerciful reality
chains her to their graves...

I must agree...reality shows no mercy whatsoever to anybody...not very often anyway...

Nice first post.  I hope to see more from you.

A poet's words can definitely be fearful of light. You certainly express that here, dgvarner.

Hello, dgvarner. I enjoyed this piece. Takes the reader and fellow poet into the painful side that sometimes haunts those of us who write dark poetry. Well done.

Gale

You've just described what I feel as a first time poet! "they search through tunnels dark for a place to hide"
"no outlet" is right!
Wow, once again, I'm impressed.

Good first post for DARK passions.
