Here is a section for all to express there dark side, through poetry. Please, rules that apply anywhere else, apply here as well! no plagarizing, nothing obscene or completely full out creepy (nothing that will give a kid nightmares). If that seems harsh, post somewhere else.
Heres an example of something that fits the guidlines:

[b] Golden Eyes
The World swirls,
the trees close in
the golden eyes of a beast
watch
I look around,
not able to move
or scream.
A creature,
as dark as night,
yet as bright as the moon
lunges.
I wake up.
It was a dream.
I fall back into bed
breathing deeply,
as golden eyes glow
outside the window.

Death's Door

My world has ended
My time has come
As I lay at
Death's Door
I am not scared
It is quite peaceful
This has been coming
My whole life.
This will come to everyone.
No one can escape it.
No one can live forever.
With these words being said,
When your time comes,
Will you join me, friends,
at Death's Door?

Our world is now ending
As the time of life ceases
We shall keep pretending
To fix this love, now in pieces
Forget this love as it ends
For all we know is gone
Unless you want to pretend
To save what is forever lost
If we move on let's try to love
As we have loved before
But never again will we fall in love
Never walking through an open door
This writer is finished, our story is through
For never will I love again, as I did for you

This is a sonnet I wrote (you can also find this in a sonnet thread on here)

Darkness in every corner
Blocking my every thought
Mysterious tendrils control my will-power
Sucking my into the abyss

Down I fall deeper and deeper
Screeming as I take my plung
what I see is full of unknown
Until I reach the bottom, I hope

Off and off I go
Every single night
What you may call calming sleep
I will call a nightmare

You arnt to bad at writing yourself. I suggest you make your own poetry thread to showcase your work.

I'm not really sure how to define "dark" poetry but I guess I'll give it a shot when I have time and can think of something.
