Darkly hue'd requiem

requiem for darkly hue'd nothingness

faceless hauntings with no name

puzzled angst sent on ghastly devil's wings   

ghosts of where crimson songs had hung, 

to distort and betray mind's dimly lit sanity

ravaging each prudent thought in liber

ation's crush 

plunging ceremoniously into another dirge

sans Hallelujah's voracious point of view

covetous in its proclivity for

 gluttonous acquisitions 

sinful penance without due diligence 

unsigned contracts bled humanity's animosity

tempted within satan's lustful strife

I'm sure my mind is taking this so far off the path you intended (likely telling something about my current state of mind) but I am looking at this dark place of "sinful penance" as life itself, birth being its own death, pulling us away from that Halleluia... Whatever your intention, Frieda, you have painted a vivid dark scene, and made me think...

[Frieda P]

I really enjoyed your interpretation of this one Rita, it's based on a recurring nightmare, but I love where you took it, thanks so much.

What an incredible deep insight into feelings, coming from a dark place in life . Dreams of a dark kind do take over your mind. Well written.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your visit and review Barb.

you're welcome

This reminds of the old saying: An idle mind is a devil's workshop. Don't know if you meant that...but that was the first thing that came to my mind!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Ghosh, I enjoyed your interpretation.

Whenever we write about anything that's our state of mind, is that right? Then your state is now dark! Are you scared about something?
Great poetry you have made. Darr lag raha hai.

I'm thrilled to know you write dark poems, too. It's a nice break from the usual romance thing. ;) Very well-written piece, mothernutter!

That was an OMG poem Frieda!

Kaze~ ;-)

[Tai Ryens]

Hauntings with no names, empty, nameless space, and suffering due to not doing a particular action, portrayed as an unsigned contract and penance without diligence . . . It sounds a lot like limbo, the state in between Heaven and Hell where the nonbelievers are said to go, hence the unsigned contract. Those that do nothing wrong, but are not in the right quite yet . . . Vividly dark, you express this well, I like it.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Are we a resident of the dark side now lady.This is a wonderfully written dark poem :)

[Frieda P]

Ahh my muse is temperamental, flashes of light and dark, I just go along for the ride. ;-) Thanks Vidya.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yes one hell of a ride lol.You are welcome :)

[Frieda P]

Tell me about it, I need motion sickness pills or something! ;-)

I was trying to pick out my favourite part but I love this from start to finish. Par excellence word choice.

[Frieda P]

Wow thanks Pryde, muchly appreciated.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

It's as if you are describing my soul to others, well done, good read.

[Frieda P]

Ouch....I hardly think so my friend.
