My Own Darkness
#DarkPoetry #InnerFreedom #ShadowWork #NewGirlDark
I fear not the darkness nor cold winds that blow,
I know all the cracks where deep sorrows grow.
Through shadows, I learned what freedom can be:
Even in darkness, the soul can break free.

Mirror of Ashes
#DarkPoetry #HealingThroughWords #InnerStrength
The mirror remembers the grief I once knew,
A thousand lost faces I struggled to view.
I gather my ruins, reclaiming my voice,
And bury in mist what once broke my poise.

Day 9 of 24 - Elazai of the Veinless Light — He glowed with pure compassion, bright enough to blind cruelty itself. But compassion is a blade with no sheath. His light bled out over centuries.

Cursed Garden
#DarkPoetry #MelancholicVerses #GothicMood
A rose blooms softly where the dead lie deep,
Guarding dark secrets the thorns must keep.
The moon looks down on petals of pain,
While mist conceals the tears of rain.

The House of Shadows
#DarkPoetry #GothicPoetry #NewGirlDark
Shadows awaken behind the glass,
Whispering tales of a world amassed.
Though night may claim my voice and soul,
My fierce, dark fire defies control.

How much of what we suspect is the truth? And who is innocent?

Amilie

The reeds are nestling into the wind,
and the autumn season twitches.
The trout are whispering in my ear—
“I don't care. I don't care. I don't care.”

There's a line and bobber pulled from the water.
Hush. Hush—
the bass murmur to soothe.

The girls at school
candied their comments.
I choked on what their sweetness disguised.
Their amusements were carnival games.

Sinking beneath them—
an offering to savor.
They will find you.
They will find you.
They will find you.

My principal drew me into his lingering embrace.
His gaze summoning others.
Search closer—
You'll find me in the filth around you.

What has the muck preserved?
Clasped tight. Clasped tighter. Ensnared.

And the preacher held my hand.
His big fingers rested over mine.
He'll let go. He'll let go. He'll let go.
I counted the spaces between his private lectures.
Call my father. Call my father. Breathe on—

Please, God—oh Lord, save my soul.

My mother was impatient.
I wandered out of sight.
Come home. Come home. Come home.
She called me back—the night laughed.
Step by step. Stone by stone. All alone.
And in the dim light of the glade—
she begged, she moaned.

I took a path in a princess dress,
where the rushes ached for water.
The sedges tangled around my ankles,
and bubbles slipped between agonizing gasps.
No one there. No one there. No one there.
A tackle box sat beside the bank.
Please find me. Please find me. Please find me.
Not a sigh. Not a break. Not a howl.
Only the fish playing games in my mouth.

The reeds are nestling back into the ivy.
Spring—the season, now slowly vanishing.

And the tadpoles grow legs and turn into toads.
But here I am. Here I am. Here I am.
The trout—they whisper, “I'll see you next autumn.”
No one's coming. No one's coming. No one's coming.

The wake—it washes the tears from my hair.
Sparkling gown—torn to pieces beneath heaven.
Wait for me, pray for me, sunk somewhere along the bottom.
I'm still here. I'm still here. I'm still here.

When broken souls can find no way,
And shadows steal the light of day,
I cannot make the pain depart,
But I can listen, heart to heart.

When pain arrives and wounds run deep,
And fear awakens from its sleep,
I'll face the storm, defy the fright,
For timely hands can save a life.

When silence claims a fading beat,
And death draws shadows at its feet,
My hands will fight against the night,
To give a heart another light.

In worlds of silence, lights, and sound,
A thousand ways of life are found.
I will not change the souls I see,
I'll walk beside them, let them be.

A white trail—
undulating
at the crack of dawn.
Scattering on the heaps of snow
is the amber glow
against the web
of bare branches
obscuring the navy sky.

Mystical is this morning
a sight to behold
Mystical is this village
the secret it holds.

Its beauty is a lure
like a Venus flytrap
the goddess of beauty
presenting a snare.
Beckoning you
to be the feast

Day 8 of 24 - Malakari the Unheeded Watcher — Perched above every battlefield, he recorded each final breath. None thanked him, none noticed. When he stopped writing, war continued anyway. The ink on his scroll was his own blood.

The Last Rose 🥀
A black rose rests against my skin,
With bitter secrets locked within.
Yet through its thorns, beyond despair,
Freedom blooms, fierce and rare.

Eternity 🌙
The moon draws circles, cold and clear,
While stars gaze into the void so near.
I fear no shadows that come and go,
My soul's a fire no darkness can overthrow.

The Broken Mirror 🪞
The shattered mirror reflects the past,
A thousand faces, none meant to last.
I gather my pieces, reclaim my voice,
And bury the pain by my own choice.

Queen of Ashes 🖤
Dressed in black, I walk unafraid,
Leaving old beliefs to fade.
My gothic heart owes no apology,
I rule my life, my own destiny.

Garden of Thorns 🥀
Beneath the moon, where sorrows bloom,
A hidden flower defies the gloom.
The mist whispers secrets of yesterday,
Yet no dark shadow can block my way.
