Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark poems: 164 of 1293
Darkness I can see the darkness. It is closing in on me. It is all around me. It creeps towards me like a poisonous snake. I can hear it reaching out to me. It wants to take hold of me. I could try and run from it, but there is very little light left for me to hide in. The darkness swirls around me, mocking me. Haunting me w... More..

7419 I am driving to 7419. I am driving to end my marriage. The ride lasts for less than half an hour. I relive my entire life twice in that time. Not my entire life. Just certain parts, a bunch of memories and regrets. Things never turn out quite how I planned. I feel like I'm caught in a web, trapped in a dream. Everything... More..

Stranded (Oasis) I am lost. I am floating on a tiny raft in the middle of the ocean during a horrible storm. I am shipwrecked. I am stranded. I am thrown on the burning sands of a desolate island. My ship has been tossed about on the wicked waves of the harsh storm. The broken remains of my ship litter the beach on which I a... More..

Someday Someday I will look into the mirror and smile at what I've become, just not today. Someday I will be surrounded by my closest friends, warmed by their laughter, just not today. Someday my nephew will look into my eyes and not see the shame I feel for a life I wasted, just not today. Someday I will look into my father... More..

Simple Things (Sunshine) It's amazing how the simplest things are often the soonest forgotten. We scratch and claw to remember the mud that clogs up our lives. We hold onto the fires that burn our hearts. We cling to the scars that graffiti our souls. We cherish the memories that are just too painful to let go of. We never f... More..

Poisonous Rose Women are a poisonous rose, the bittersweet bane of man's existence. The sweetest poison man can ever know is a woman's love. It is a heavenly toxin that permeates through his entire body. It soaks through his bones and pours into his soul. It whispers into his consciousness, sweeping his thoughts away from lo... More..

The Child vs. The Boy I look in the mirror today and see something that I thought was lost to me. Something that I thought had died a long time ago. I look past the hardened eyes. Past the weary face etched with exhaustion. Past the tired smile I hide behind day after day. Beneath it all I see the Boy. He is playing in the d... More..

Dying Strangers I sit in the office and watch the faces of the people that surround me. Each person wears a different skin. Each person hides behind a different mask. Sometimes the mask is a smile. Sometimes its laughter. It might be an attitude. The "tough guy," the "smart ass", the "beautiful people." We put on these faces... More..

To Jessica (I'm Sorry) I promised you that I would stand by your side forever. That we would be together until we died. I thought that I understood what forever meant. But I didn't. I guess I still don't. I thought that I would be strong enough to carry us into eternity. I wasn't. I guess I never was. I thought that if I jus... More..

The Beast (Wolf's Cry) There is a beast inside me. A rabid wolf that cries in the night. A wild wolf that howls at the moon. He sets his den in the marrow of my bones. His breath rises and falls with my own. I can feel his heartbeat inside of my own. His crimson eyes burn a hole deep into my soul. He is there and I can't den... More..
