Poem: Darkness

Posted on by Astrid

Darkness lingers all around
It’s like it envelops me…
Where will I be found?

Something strikes me by surprise
A sound, a smell, a shock…
Will this be the end, my utter demise?

I’m scared, I cry out for help, but no-one hears
If I stay here, am I doomed, like they thought…
Is this the realization of my fears?

Lost eyesight, I’m on your side
I think to myself, this is it, I give in…
Look on the bright side, suicide…

This poem was written for dVerse’s Poetics. The prompt is to pick a line (or more than one, as I did) from a song by Nirvana. I remember only the very popular songs by that band, and only vaguely, but I loved the opportunity to write an angsty poem.

  2. There is darkness and there is light, the night is not always dark, you know …
    “Darkness”

    Beyond the dark
    Where there is no light
    The days and nights
    Are frightfully stark

    The mind is blind
    To submerged inner plights
    And void of any hindsight
