DARK POETRY

These Poems are extremely dark in nature, almost to the depths of gothic despair. Some may find them overly depressing and too overwhelming to absorb. I have suffered with Chronic Depression all of my life ~ no medications to date have delayed their raging current, their bleeding stream. I've learned to live with it. It is a dark shadow, and it likes to tease, and dance.

These are the psychic, soul-stigmata spills from that place of dark consciousness, yielded from years of abuse that took me into deep swells of low self-esteem and even catacomb waves of sad, suicidal thoughts. I have been to the Darkside and back and I lay here, touched and forever altered by its cold, ebony tendrils. How or why I lived to tell about it is beyond me, other than to perhaps show others that light is there . . . it is possible, yet often so fragile a beam that we often dismiss its existence. But it does call our name in the echo of its underlying beacon. Do you hear its haunting whisper?
