Dark Secrets

Lights Out... You can't find what you can't see. I’ve become a clouded face, unrecognized

DARK SECRETS

 

These eyes Tainted and Scarred,

The Heart restless behind bars,

A Soul lost between then and now

 

I’ve become a clouded face, unrecognized,

A Shadow within materializes

Unaware, there’s no time to prepare,

Unleashing its fury for all to bear

 

Strength it feeds from those who care,

Twisting and turning words and stares

Form is now what I once was,

It’s Poison if any… One of Love

 

Shadow now I, fight I try...

For those I hurt, my words are lies

Understand I cry, I feel your pain,

Ball and Chain, I am restrained

 

Pleasure filled, Darkness slips away,

Face left to those I've betrayed

Strength to hold on, You reach for my hand,

Smiling and Scarred, Your eyes Understand

 

SHADOW lingers and laughs within,

Your LOVE inside, he cannot win

I love the minimalism! I love the shortness of the statements to really pack the punch of the emotion displayed! The only constructive work I would do is maybe some constructive imagery to tie the emotions to something I can see or feel, it feels alot like there are so many things felt blending all together I don't know where to start!

Great job, keep it up!

Very tightly knit. This style really emphasized the mood of this piece.Very strong artistic elements.

[Lafayette]

Very nicely done, keep it up.

My dark secret is that I secretly have a love affair with words, hardly any one knows, I write them up into things I can touch, they become sculpture, secret statues.

i loved the rythm. i can feel the punch in the lines

[eroticwings]

Awesome poem! I felt sorry for the one in prison, but I felt at ease. It paints a picture in my head. Imagery is way out there.

'It's posion if any..." I also like the shortness of the statements. It makes me want to ask, "What is the Dark Secret?"
