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!

[Hinoglue]

Awesome!!!!

[GridLok]

What's to be added?! A powerful, goth-ic introspection. "You can't find what you can't see" … try being still and let it find you. I echo Luis Gabriel's comments.

[Luke Ritta]

Very good poem!!!

[Elmy Khalaf]

This is not just tum tum tum, there is a rhythm to it. The beat is very deliberate. What it paints 'morphorses' into a deep dark unfarthomable depth. A shallow mind like mine can never dig that deep. Respect!

I know it has taken me some time to review your work, my sincerest apologies. I would like to thank you for suggesting your poetry to me for review. I enjoyed it, much like a drop of water in a burning desert.

I read this five times... and I just read it again. I'll probably read it again later too.

The simplicity adds more attention to every line and gives more impact to what is being expressed. I really enjoyed this piece.
