For my fellow Dark passions poets. This is a truly dark poem that I wrote last night. It expresses how I felt at the moment to the last detail, but today I feel a better sense of myself and am clearer about the world. Enjoy.  Taste the salt tears Running in streams Down my flushed face Anger rising steadily I cannot keep up with the pace Pain escapes through me It's not hard to see why.. My life's a growing struggle, Each day that passes by Taste the tears Still forming Rolling down my hot cheeks And I wonder why I still go on... for weeks and weeks The bad times are suffocating The good that has seemed to have disapeered And my life might soon be over, That's my greatest fear... No poetry in magiznes No novels at my side No honors or recogntions Only solitary confinment Dripping from my pen Ink like blood That's lost from my heart To weak to pump Outside the growing coldness Numbs me to my soul And thawing won't begin Until I surrvive The madness. The madness lives In every human But strives in hateful souls And brings me down with them To deal out their gold A treasure found in hatred A rememberence always you know... And when hot tears start to fall The treasure virus seems to grow. A way out that's quite easy Leaves me hanging from a thread Thoughts of suicide Racing through my head. But leave me to my pain now Hate will never heal Any way out of the madness... Shall be done So I no longer can feel. JOY |

Joy-- I'm so glad that you dont feel like this anymore...yes i agree this is truely dark but i like dark poems...they seem to hold more emotion. I like how you described it at the end "so i no longer feel"  Starboards "I wont look back, I wont regret, though it hurts like hell someday I will forget" |

Joy this was wonderful in it's darkness. Hate is such a bad emotion, I try never to hate, no matter what. You don't want to stop feeling though without feelings there is no emotion, no us. Glad you felt better the next day What the inner voice says will NOT disappoint the hoping soul. ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

I really enjoyed this one. Hate is an emotion that all must feel. It goes hand in hand with all other emotions. To deny hate is to stifle emotion. "The madness lives in every human." Sooooo true... Great work here! Jenny Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

Glad you snapped out of it. The loss of your words here would be a tragic waste. Once in my life I was in this much pain. I never want to experience that again. It's so empty. May this be the finale of those thoughts for you. -RS There must be some kinda way out of here... say the joker to the thief There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief - Hendrix |

starboards, I agree. dark poems usualy hold more emotion for me. Isis, I know there is no feeling without emotion. But in this poem, my emotions were talking so it was rather ironic, the ending line, but that was exactly how I felt. JennyLee, Hate is a strong emotion, I'll agree with that. It is felt, but I'd rather not feel it at all. FreeByrd, I'm glad you related. This much pain I hope I never feel again. If I do, I'm glad I can get it out of my system through poetry. Thanks all, for the replies! JOY |

Joy, I too am glad that you have snapped out of this. . . But I must concur with my fellow poets when they say that hate is an emotion that must be dealt with. . . the emptiness can consume you. . . if you let it. . . Excellent work my friend. . . you have done well. . . That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Joy- this is an incredible work. So many truths and things to relate to. I have been in a place like that. I'm glad I am no longer. And I'm glad that you are feeling better. A lot of times just letting it out is all you need. |
