can a ghost learn to love themselves
if they never believed their soul
should have ever existed

#darkpoetry #sadpoetry #poetry #darkacademia #ghost #sad #dark #originalpoetry #shortpoetry

i had to bleed out the toxins
covertly in my bloodstream
to find out that,
all along,
your love
is an antidote

#shortpoetry #originalpoetry #lovepoetry #sad #dark #darkacademia

you reignite the firelight when i believe the wick should remain unlit

#micropoem #shortpoetry #darkacademia #lovepoetry #originalpoetry #poetry

do you exist if nobody ever sees you?

#micropoem #poetry #melancholy #darkpoetry #sadpoetry #originalpoetry #shortpoetry #sad #dark

when the darkest nights swallow you up
and the stars barely glimmer in your eyes
just remember that the love we have
means as much to you as it means to me

#sad #originalpoetry #love #dark #sadpoetry #lovepoetry #darkacademia #shortpoetry

i get lost in the galaxies that paint your irises

it turns out
that your love
was enough
to teach me how
to love myself

#lovepoetry #shortpoetry #originalpoetry #love #happy #poetry

the darkness sinks its teeth into your heart, its venom courses through your veins and bleeds out ink
and it would kill your soul if it was any other way

#darkacademia #originalpoetry #shortpoetry #darkpoetry #dark #sad #melancholia

every piece of poetry
every drop of prose from the ink
is evidence of the journey i embark
to see all sides of my kaleidoscope

#embark #shortpoetry #vss365 #originalpoetry #darkacademia #melancholia

i just need to see your face
to know that my sacred haven
is still the only place i can
unravel

#FREEDOM. When love becomes an illusion.
#SpokenWordPoetry

Have you ever been #disillusioned in love? Did you realise that the person you fell in #love with was not who you thought they were?

I wrote this in 1984 when I was only 16.

the claws are trying to strike me down,
cause they know that when you say
"i love you"
they become desperate to stay alive

#dark #love #originalpoetry #darkacademia #sad #lovepoetry

would it be enough
to find happiness
if i remain to be cursed
by my melancholia?

try as you might, you cannot change the will of the stars
#shortpoetry #originalpoetry #micropoem #darkacademia #poetry

You are the heart of ANGER
You are the tongue of the BLOODTHIRSTY
You are the mouthpiece of the LIAR
You are the finger on the TRIGGER
YOU ARE THE KNOT AROUND THE NOOSE

my newest poem on love that persists and the power it has. it is a personal poem that i dearly love and am happy to share it with you all today

We haven’t felt rain like this in a long time
It’s heavy now
It drowns us out
It makes us make a spectacle of ourselves…
