The Poet Darkling Poems

Tempted by promises of love
I went willingly to your bed
Unaware that your words were lies
And that I was being mislead
...

Ideas haunt us every night
Cause us to toss around in bed
Awake to write, pour our hearts out
To release the spooks from our head
...

I could hear God's words echo in my head
While in the background played a hymn,
"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
Remains with me and I with him "
...

Knew the moment you called
That the news would be bad
That you'd bust my bubble
And end the love we had
...

The things you say swirl in my head
Like the fall leaves swirl ‘round my feet
Make my heart feel like a body
That's been weighted down with concrete
...

She thought you had it
She thought she had you
But it was failed thinking
She didn't have a clue
...

I was strong, but you've made me weak.

I was happy, but now my tears flow uncontrollably.
...

Time I loosen the ties that bind
And try to get myself free from this hell
Need to break through the illusion
Climb back up from the bottom of the well
...

You used to call me morning, noon and night
You used to tell me it would be alright
You gave of your love without any fight
But not anymore
...
