Dark Poems

Man I seem to take too much time off from writing. This next one has a message in it. See if you can find it and post it.

Self

The look in your eyes.
Is hard to disguise.
The thoughts in your mind.
Are starting to unwind.

Take a look at yourself.
And what do you see.
Just another fake.
In this fake reality.

Is it so hard, so hard to be?
Just another one that is wandering.
Unknowing of what it is to be
Living in this fake reality.

Take a look at yourself.
And what do you see.
Something growing
In this fake reality.

When the time has come
The time to be
Shed off this shell
Of fake reality
At least you will know
You are free
From living in this fake reality

Take a look at yourself.
And what do you see.
A way out
Of this fake reality.

Through


I’ve seen enough to know why
The look you gave me, made me turn my eyes
Crawling out…..from within
I feel pain all too soon.
And I really wish you’d leave this room.
Breaking through…the skin

My mind starts to burn…the hatred that is there.
Consuming all that’s left…to leave you in despair.
Destroying all that ties……taking back all that’s mine.
I won’t listen to the lies…..It’s over now I’m fine.

I still hear you now and then.
Trying to make amends
Crawling out….from within
I finish before it starts
I won’t let you back within my heart
Breaking through…the skin

My mind starts to burn…the hatred that is there.
Consuming all that’s left…and it leaves you in despair.
Forgetting all that ties……Holding what is mine.
I won’t listen to your lies…..I’m gone now from your mind.

Again another great piece of work

And one im sure we all can relate to at some pointin our lifes,

Came across very well,

Ah back from a real hectic more or so. Something new but old in a sense.
I've got something brewing that I hope comes to fruition soon.Enjoy

-Aza

Gone

Feels like it’s been too long
Since I’ve been gone
And where did I go wrong
Thinking about you in this song

And it flies so fast it’s hard to stop and see when
Everything goes and gone
Will this feeling ever go along?

I felt so cold....the time I spent away
I began to mold and fester with pain and anger
But I’ve let that go so let’s just get going on.

And it flies so fast it’s hard to stop and see when
Everything goes and gone
Will this feeling ever go along?

I try to find the reason
And I try to find the why
I try to find the everything
Of why do I care why.

But it’s gone so fast
So hard to catch it as goes
Hard to deal with the reality
That everything must go

I saw that there is a poetry contest this week and not that i'm really into this for the point I decided to try and see how well this poem will be recieved. So in case you don't want to go digging for it, I'll present it here since it is rather dark, but short. Enjoy

-Aza


END

It's been waiting a long time.
Since light first flickered.
Aging like a fine wine.
In our last breath.

So close to us as we drift nearer
It watches with carefull sight
I doubt that nothing would hold us more dearer
Within the last seconds of our dimming light.

As i saw you can enter a few i remembered a previous poem i wrote when i was a child. I believe it is floating around in the text books in some school somewhere because i think it was published. I think i might of been 11 or so. Anyways it was during the first gulf war and I was partial to not understanding why we were there. So here it is, as much as i can remember of the original. I think i spiced it up a bit to make it sound better then a 6th graders poem. Enjoy

WAR

There is no continent that is fully content
With all it has accomplished throughout the years
Heavy the price as now is the time of tears.
With everything we’ve said and cannot take back.
Paid for by blood in the ruddy tank tracks.


1989 Jace

Well for one I've been busy with work and techincally not motivated to write at all. Well write something poetically anyways. I will find some inspiration somewhere, just been too busy these last months.


-Aza

Kick me when i'm down
I am a god
Love hurts
Life is no more
Maybe i'll be
Eternal

Finally i've written somethign that I hope tells the story of "our" generation. Meaning our as everyone alive, because my verison of generation is something alive. We are all alive thus part of a unique generation. Change is coming, for the good or for the bad thougth I do not personally know the instrument of this change, I can feel it. We as a species have a right... no a duty to protect this world and the life contained within that cannot protect itself. We started the posionous cycle but we also need to end it. I'm proud to say I put alot of emotion in this poem, alot of thought too. I can only hope that some who read it will understand its reasoning and hopefully pass the mesage along so that all might know it.

Response


Time I looked into the mirror
see this drawing nearer
Nothing has ever been more clearer
Then the rush of the coming river.

Can't just stand and hang our heads
still living though, we act dead
words can't explain what I've said
A reponse is needed instead.
Throw away all of the lies
get rid of the posion thats inside
For once just open our eyes
and see the destruction of our ties

It's time we looked in
find the center of our within
The true nature we must begin
Receive the pennance for our sins

Can't just stand and hang our heads
still living though, we act dead
words can't explain what I've said
A reponse is needed instead.
Throw away all of the lies
get rid of the posion thats inside
For once just open our eyes
and see the destruction of our pride

We need to wake from this sleep
Rise though we still may be weak
Make promises that we keep
Dig through it though it may be deep

Can't just stand and hang our heads
still living though, we act dead
words can't explain what I've said
A reponse is needed instead.
Throw away all of the lies
get rid of the posion thats inside
For once just open our eyes
and see the destruction of our lives

Well done again, I really like that one and i like the message thats within it,

Im such a fan of your work, and its great to see some more from you,

Thanks for sharing it with us,

Fill up the tub
With warm water
And warm blood

Play some Joy Division
Sisters of Mercy
Some Nirvana even

Light some candles
Wash up first
Wash away your troubles

Give it ALL up
To the man upstairs
Ask if it's alright to come up

Sleep now
Uninterrupted
Tired and hollow

The big sleep
For the human body
But your soul leaped

You're with the Man
You're one with His universe
You're no longer human

Thank God
Free at last
Praise the Lord

It's now your universe
Don't choose human again
It is a curse

Blood
Settling
From gravity

Face
White
Back is purple

Life
Gone
In an eye blink

Mom
Alive
Just yesterday

The name of this thread is "Dark Poems." I am trying to live up to that...

Coma Teen

Okay
So I was driving on the horse
The last time
Not the first time
Heading to my place to crash
We had a blast or two

Okay
She was just a passenger
The old lady
The messenger
She was heading right at me
At least I thought she


Well
I swerved and hit the pole
My old Cutlass
My chest still a mess
She went through the windshield
Landed on the road
An un-natural position

Well
I couldn't get out of it
She wasn't moving
No time for good-bye
Later I learned of the broken neck
She was talking
When I couldn't help her

So
By the time I saw her
She was gone
Brain dead coma
A permanent vegetative state
No hope for her
No miracles for her

So
I helped her leave
With dignity
On her terms
Every day I wish it were me
I paint her death
Every day with black

Those are great Excitable_boy. Sorry I've been busy and not to inspired to make new content. I've written something new recently and decided to post it. This is a darker poem, seems to be more like some of my earlier work. I hope all who read it enjoy.

-Aza

Hell

Here I lie inside of this cage
Penned up and full of rage
I’ve been in here for days and days
This never ending…. bare bones stage.

Let me out of this doomed jail
It’s like I am spending an eternity in hell
With no room to breathe or grow as well
The fury of my rage is starting to swell.

I’ve been ripped and torn.
Am I really born?
This pain is filling me full of scorn
This flesh bound prison form.

Let me out of this doomed jail
It’s like I am spending an eternity in hell
With no room to breathe or grow as well
The fury of my hatred is starting to swell.

Just rip a hole in me
Let me be free
So that everyone can see
Just how I am supposed to be.

Let me out of this doomed jail
It’s like I am spending an eternity in hell
With no room to breathe or grow as well
The pressure of my anguish is starting to swell.

So i've been lax but luckly someone has inspired me to write a poem. This is definately not dark like my previous ones, but still has a place near my work.

-Aza

Forever

Since I’ve met you it been like a dream
Things starting to mean like they should be
It is often hard to see, what I would be
Without you as my stream

Feeding your love into me
Forever we will be
Looking for each other in this sea
Part of this old tree

Softly, I hear you whisper my name in the night
Drifting on the wind to my delight
My thoughts as they turn again to you
Wonder how this fool, could ever be
What you see in me

Feeding your love into me
Forever we will be
Looking for each other in this sea
And if we found each other now
We’d find a way somehow
And drift away until time ran out


2008 Jace

Late at night I walk through town
I spy every one I meet
I want to follow them all home
But I just follow my feet
Into the book store
I see lined up
"Virgins Die Horny"
Sitting next to "The Hite Report"
Sitting next to "Love Story"

And I ask what does sex mean to me
And what does sex mean to society

I put my finger to my tongue
And I taste vagina
I licked Betty Ford's boots (it's true)
She wore ‘em all over china
People say that Chinese people don't
Ball as much as we do
‘Cause their cultural revolution has shown
There are more important things to see to

So I ask what does sex mean to me
And what does sex mean to society

I see another baby born
One more mouth to feed
Sometimes I can't comprehend
This urge to breed
Travel through a crowded land
Where people love each other as they love the state
They love their work
Their work is love
Love is no excuse to procreate
Their party slogan reads
And I quote
Making love is a mental disease
It wastes time and
Depletes our energies

So I ask what does sex mean to me
And what does sex mean to society

I see couples walking hand in hand
What does sex mean to them
Worried women switch from pills to diaphragms
What does sex mean to them
My parents wonder how they made me what I am
What does sex mean to them
What does sex mean to me

- Human Sexual Response, circa 1978

Lambs head on my lap
A heartbeat in a hole
An eyeball loose and wild dropping memories,
Out upon the open tiles and over to the left sits the loveless one
crying slowly
sucking on a gun...

Perhaps not dark, but certainly grey.....

Hey baby
look at me
do you see
a poet here
not what one would choose.

can't promise
no hunger
or that you won't be sad
on this
gutted
breaking
globe

but baby
I can show you
enough to love
and break your heart
forever

You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home

Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down

And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul

- Jimmy Somerville

This Is my newest Poem. It's been a LONG time since I posted here on ATS and I thought I would come back to my favorite part of ATS Enjoy

So prized in a wicked logic,
simple pleasures from a deviant sense,
for distances array,
can not conceal the will,
the forbidden lust to kill.

A lost mind of fallen souls,
you are to me the Eden apple,
for me to touch,
like snakes on their bellies yielding,
desires amongst feeling.

In dreams you lye,
against honour and pride,
like no other you ve been,
to create such devotion,
of my bitter emotion.

Your mind so precious to me,
your bidding a secret kin,
a man that could bid to God,
away from the mindless,
my deepened heartless.

Like no other to me,
the storm that could kindle,
a sense or reality from false,
that eons only meet naught,
as my hidden, forbidden consort.
