Dark Poetry ~ A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

~ thereluctantpoet

Walt's Writings

It comes from the darkness
Late night to just before dawn
A chilling form of poetry
With a darkness all its own
Filled with evil spirits
Death, Devastation
And the Devil’s Daughters
Featuring the Devil herself
Everything good becomes evil
Everything evil is dominant
It is the dark side of a Poet
When he opens his mind fully
And the darkness overtakes him
When the dawn comes
The Poet puts down his pen
Closes his notebook
And prays for forgiveness

~The Tennessee Poet~

Daily Prompts- Pearls of wisdom

~ thereluctantpoet

Keep it alive

The ocean cannot be drained of water

The mind never vacant of ideas

A rule of thumb you can say is that

Never touch liveelectricity wires

Some truths of life are obvious and

Then there are others that you need to search

If you don’t tie a knot in the learning thread

You can gather wisdom pearl by pearl

In response to the following prompts;

3TC;

Tie, Thumb, Electricity

FOWC;

Live

RDP;

Vacant

Word of the day Challenge;

Ocean

Branded

~ thereluctantpoet

Sarah Doughty

“These bones. They are branded
with your name. And I wonder, can you
hear my skin whispering, calling for you?”

These bones. They are branded with your name. And I wonder if you can hear my skin whispering, calling for you. As the moon rises, the iron of your grip will connect with my flesh, leaving nothing behind. My lips beg, “Please,” and you revel in every sound I make. You don’t respond. Because you don’t have to. I can read the hunger in your eyes as they devour me inch by agonizing inch. By the time our worlds collide, at long last, nothing else remains but the thundering of my heart, the sounds of our breathing, and the last coherent thought I hear, says, “So it begins,” before I become flame.
