Echoing Emily: (Poetry: May-Flower & October-Vampire)

I have written another poem for my project, “Echoing Emily,” – where I take a poem written by Emily Dickinson and rewrite it in my own words but still trying to mock her style.

Dark Poetry: Forgotten Trail

Forgotten Trail Wading through a dark muddy forgotten trail, My tired legs sank low into the wet dirty ground, like quick sand. Somewhere along the way, I had gotten lost… Not remembering how I got here. Just feeling… “lost in the race.” These peaceful outdoor nature surroundings deemed unfamiliar, The journey, seemed to be a

Dark Inspiring Poetry: “Stories in my Head”

STORIES IN MY HEAD ***********   Walking down a crowded side street, My weary head hangs low, careful not to meet the eye Of the others who pass me by.   Afraid they may see the thoughts spiraling that consume me in my screaming head The darkness swimming with all the creatures of dread.  

Poetry : “A Soul’s Fight for Innocence”

  A Soul’s Fight for Innocence ————————————- Looking backwards in passing time, Beyond a few decades or so… Perhaps, a child’s lifetime ago… A bright-eyed soul, innocent and carefree, Walked among the Earth’s lands, Unknown to the troubles of a world, That could be….

Poetry: Midnight Days

” A journey from dark to light…Don’t be afraid of the darkness…Light will not fail us even when the stars have gone to sleep.’ *************** Midnight Days —- On those midnight days, I can’t feel safe in my own shaken skin… All those haunting dark memories arrive once again, rushing in… My aching and frightened

Dark Poetry: “Uninvited”

Uninvited   Something mysterious… almost haunting lingers within…   Heavy atmosphere, and unknown energies dance around her soul’s outer-edges…   A force, tugs at her aching heart through each sunrise and follows after the late afternoon sunset, and then again, as the moon rises to the night sky to join the band of astrological constellations

Dark Inspirational Poetry: His Choice

His Choice It stood on the corner of its high rock cliff, pearing down at an aching world below…. He saw a world of havoc, pain and confusion… Love was lost in between the waves of dense fog that hung heavy in the polluted air…. Standing on the corner, Watching, waiting, It folded his hands,
