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!

[Zephonate]

Well done. The poem has a very nice rhythm, and I like the dark tone to the piece.

[Klepton]

Wow vry ncy

[Ripple of Aqua]

Engrossing and devouring, you couldn't be satisfied with just the first sentence. And idea was perfectly executed.

[L. Catherine]

Interesting. Really makes you think about your own individual secrets

[lifesmith]

I think the name suits it fine...I haven't been here in a while and what a way to end my long break...The thing about this poem is that you end up feeling it rather than reading. bravo!

[gothicchica]

dont change the name as long as the poem is yours the name doesnt matter

[Abby:)]

Love the poem, but Dark Secrets is owned by Elizabeth Taylor she wrote the book. I suggest you change the name.
