Dark Thoughts, Dark Dreams

A poem about a phase in my life that I experienced. Which in some ways is ongoing struggle. Hope you like it

 

Dark thoughts, Dark dreams

Flow into me like a vine tree

Growing slowly from the tip of my finger tips

Consuming my skin like locusts

Dark thoughts, Dark dreams

 

I wonder aimlessly confused

Unaware of which place to choose

I fall deeper into dark

Reality and fantasy blur

This is the norm

Dark thoughts, Dark dreams

 

Hope is it false?

Friends are they fake?

Love is it constructed?

Family is it misguided

Dark thoughts, Dark dreams

 

A ray of light shines on my heart

Shattering the thorns that lay on my finger tips

A genuine light a warm light

I stand up and look at the sky at the

Dark thoughts, Dark dreams

 

My mind lighter

My heart pure

My cup now empty is ready for more

Light is it bliss?

Or is

Dark thoughts, Dark dreams

A fantasy?

 

I thread on both sides

Dark and Light are my allies

Together, I am complete

Separate, I am weak

I walk a long path

Treacherous and rough

I do not know what lies above

Perhaps only anger and angst

 

With a smile I walk

Prepared to walk the miles ahead

For I am Light and Dark

And nothing can hurt me

I enjoyed this poem! Great duality between living between the light and dark, existential or not. Keep up the good work.

This is lovely. It lilts and sways like a dream I once had. The words dance. Well done. x

I love this poem! keep up the good work!!

Slightly cryptic, and certainly very dream-like. The emotions here do seem to be genuine, and it's also thought-provoking in places. For example, "Light is it bliss?", and "Hope is it false?". Many of us, could probably relate to some of the thoughts and emotions here, at least on occasion. In the context of my contest, the apparition from the darkness in this piece, could be interpreted as the dark thoughts or inhibitions of the writer? Or, feelings of despondency about life's sometimes harsh journey, perhaps?

I look forward to reading more of your work!

The theme of this poem is beautiful. There is a prayer in Sanskrit which says ' Tamosoma Jyotirgamayah' ...Take me from darkness to light !

But, you need polish the stanzas once again.

Words refined, the poem will shine brighter.

Best wishes.
