Dark Poems by New Members

we are spent on stories
that sleep beneath our fingertips,
drawing out hollow caves,
until dusk is all that fills our hearts
brittle and morose,
huddled in,
half-eaten hiding spots,
with fountain pens for fingertips
we wonder why,
ink pours,
after dark

Dark Embrace
Poise and grace
I hide my cuts
With cotton and lace.

Dead, I'm in trouble
Playing the double
I shall rebuild my crown
And kingdom from rubble!

Judgement presides
The law abides
The High Court says
No taking sides!

I am dead
As the Red Queen said,
She stole my throne
Off with her head!

Guileless wraith
Losing my faith
Darkness consumes
Nothing she saith

Descend to the fire
Trapped in the mire
Alone when we know
The situation is dire. ...
