THE DARK AND DAKNESS

" We all have a darkness near and dear. Some feed their darkness to extreme until the darkness claims supreme. What you feed your darkness that is what darkness becomes just for you."

                   

                             

the light no longer exist

only the dark and darkness is all I see

deep in this under tow or psychotic shade

I sit with the obscurity that wicked made

to what end

overlooked by veil or disguise

a spotlight in reprise

this ominous dark curtain drop

far beyond centre stage, a place marked X

the blue sky's have fallen

into my demise

this place is not hell, this is dead in denial

late for the reaper and one last kiss

a dull sinkhole short of an abyss

writing in my head a plot and a twist

the unreliable to suicidal list

 darkness crossed the line 

took a step inside

devour sinks every nerve in demise

the paralysing strangle

a pressure fatal

suppress screams perish within

the predator's prey

breath escapes me

movement deceased

a slow constrictions reach

no sound to scream

the noise intense and stunning

I can still hear

breaking bones

the shattering frame

I did not recognise agony's

hiss and surrender

soft vibration begins to rattle

a growl that began slow

made for the roar of a battle

an echo inside my head

the sensation of hot water

dripping hot rain

saliva runs off huge fangs

waiting the command

to bite deep in flesh

again and again

deep in the dark I've been set free  

piece by piece as a hunger feeds

virtual force indeed

I suddenly see

behind the monster's eyes, my eyes

a predators vision

to prey with precision

darkness is everywhere

that's where I will be

I am the face screaming beneath a crack in the Ice

I am the scratch at the surface of you scared pale white

I am the movement in the dark you cannot see

I am the shine in a child’s eyes, while hiding a knife

I am Still alive, soaked in black and I am not alone

I am coming to tuck you in your bed

bless you with my kiss

to the sound of breaking bones

A scary ending. Bone crushing. Not a tender touch and you are welcome my friend.

[Resa]

That was an amazing and horrifying poem!
Your choice of words, exquisite:)
However, I’m going to need to sleep with the lights on tonight after reading that! LOL

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Resa, Thank you for the outstanding review, I am thrilled you enjoyed it.

I like it! There's a metric ton of awesome horror details and a good flow throughout. There are so many great lines that steadily but quickly build up the horror. Very good all around.

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

I think this is one of the scariest pieces i have written
I am happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to read and review

I like how you maintain the level of poetry despite the greatness of horror. The poetry is still spotted on and that is how I wanted it to be for your piece. Did it well. :)

Sincerely,

Sweet Jesus, Sheer Terror, that was sheer terror! I've been on a horror movie binge lately (I love them, but originality is sparse these last five years), and your poem could be included in several I've seen recently. I do get it that what's in the Darkness is of our own making...but, some of us gots some twisted s**t in our heads and giving that form...in the dark? *shiver* Uh Uh...

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Hey Carol, I like how you see my dark stuff and just keep it real with me. When I was a young girl brother and I would take turns trying to scare each other to tears with a scary tale and i went to great length to scare him. Thats where some of the imagination comes from still trying to have the best story to make my brother cry. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and write a review

Sheer Terror

[Carol Cashes]

Yeah, me and my siblings would try to scare each other, too, but it wasn't stories...one brother knew I had a thing about stuff under the bed, so he hid on the "wall" side of my bed one night, and after I had got all comfy and started to doze off, he reached up and grabbed my arm. I pulled him over the bed and half out of the room! I also used to have a thing about animated dolls, and he would turn all the heads on my dolls backwards so it was the first thing I saw when I came into my room . We were brutal....

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

That is funny I remember hiding in my sisters closet what seemed to be forever just to scare her bad. Yes I went to long length, thank you im still laughing its funny how the past is always with you good or bad.

Deep in the dark I've been set free.

Darkness is everywhere and that's where I will be.

Sometimes, we can only find ourselves in the darkness, and sometimes the darkness gives us comfort.

Such a creative writing.
Well done :)

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Joey Nizz, poetry is a window into ones life and what their going thru well it is for me anyway. The light and the dark are always in conflict and balance. Its man that made the dark evil, right ?
So its only as evil as we make it. Thank you for reading and leaving a review

Sheer Terror

[Joey Nizz]

I agree with you, the dark was made evil by the human race that didnt understand the darkness and the great things it holds.

[wordman]

sad write,the darkness is taking over your mind,sounds like a deep depression

[Pete]

frightfully disturbing and surreal. vivid imagery despite being dark. chillingly powerful piece. your skill can take a reader anywhere you like, even for a walk on the dark side ...

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Pete, I do appreciate you seeing so much in my writing. This was all fiction that ran away from me and so I had some fun. That you for the superior review.
