As I wipe the stain from my eye
An empty dream shattered
The light left to die

Sins of a heathen
Lies of a hollow soul
Shallow cares and heartless fears
With no one left to mute the screams

A weary body lies down
As if to give the spirit away
Lost to eternity and fear
And the realization he will never be whole

Ashes and fire
Dust and stone
A broken man with darkening eyes
Lies broken forever, with hope never to be known

Let me go
Don’t believe I’m here to stay
I’m not the man you think
Do not wish to pray

This chapter will end
And another will start
The pages filled with words
But nothing can be seen in the gathering dark

Stars and Heaven
Sun and Sky
Light fading on the horizon
A tear forever left to cry.

Pain in his Eyes

Contributed by JBH on Thursday, 10th March 2005 @ 01:01:39 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Tears fall through the mist
As I wipe the stain from my eye
An empty dream shattered
The light left to die

Sins of a heathen
Lies of a hollow soul
Shallow cares and heartless fears
With no one left to mute the screams

A weary body lies down
As if to give the spirit away
Lost to eternity and fear
And the realization he will never be whole

Ashes and fire
Dust and stone
A broken man with darkening eyes
Lies broken forever, with hope never to be known

Let me go
Don’t believe I’m here to stay
I’m not the man you think
Do not wish to pray

This chapter will end
And another will start
The pages filled with words
But nothing can be seen in the gathering dark

Stars and Heaven
Sun and Sky
Light fading on the horizon
A tear forever left to cry.

I might have to agree with you, this is dark poetry at its finest.
It is raw yet subtle, with radiant imagery, as well as absent of cliché dark themes.

“Sins of a heathen
Lies of a hollow soul
Shallow cares and heartless fears
With no one left to mute the screams”
-The atheist within me, can very much relate to this.

I am a little speechless, in regards to your talents, this poem was eloquent and mesmerising.

I don't usually read dark poetry, but I'm glad I came across your poem.
This is an absolutely great piece of work.
Keep it up. Well done

Spontaneous, I guess. Not the finest dark poem I've ever read, but that's a matter of opinion, no? I guess it could also be construed as suicide poetry, in some fashion . . . but I don't know.

Keep writing.
