Beschreibung

A darkened nights eye is a collection of dark romantic, fantasy and Gothic horror poetry.
This well written collection to fuel your imagination and soothe your soul with its beautifully descriptive and emotional writings. Explores the darker side of humanity of social bureaucracy “we are but rats on a ship, ants on an ice cream cone”
and how confusing dreams with reality can turn into madness.
It tells of how we all are plagued by inner demons and the eternal struggle between light and darkness, how sometimes it can be easy to dabble in the dark.

Set fire to the rain

Bring death with sunrise

And ashes with the silvery

morning

Caress my heart

Upon your cheek

Let our eyes meet

And time stand still

For a single moment

I am yours

Let us ponder songs of romantic notions

While we watch the sunset

 into the clouds and horizon

For us it is like watching the sun set

for the very first time

We hold each other close

For a moment

Getting Lost in each other’s eyes

dancing under the leaves of a cherry tree

I see beauty in all things

in a blade of grass In the branches of trees

In autumn leaves scattered across the pavement  I see beauty in nature in the everyday It draws me in

The intricate yet deliberate details of nature simple yet complex  A fragile puzzle enticing me with its many unique textures and colours  A mystery I will never solve and cannot escape  It's haunting beauty in all its forms I use as my inspiration  I am at one with nature  My soul is a part of it now  I am the autumn leaves blowing in the wind

3

Fuel me with your hateful slumber 

Tie a ribbon round my neck  Take me from the awful silence  Am I awake or nearly dead  Kiss the cook  while you are Sleeping  He comes quietly While she's still dreaming  Screaming silent  Muffled screams But In her dreams she bleeds 

Blood red Crimson

4

In shallow graves, we wade Through open waters And bladed grass Bottomless ocean beds below Discoloured from waste, Leave an air of murky  Crimson We make ourselves  home amongst its black  sediment

5

The proverbial tongue lays waste 

to the ages that sleep While peasants stage their fate In silent storms we creep Into ice cold winds Bringing pennies to  many Silver Horned Gods Leaving the earth for the fated 

And so it would seem we rest our hands Bound by materialistic standards and pray away any wicked temptation "Praise we are saved"  Until the blind man speaks  At deaths door

 And sees through Ravens eye Seeing the cause of His own demise Until he speaks no more For all who hear him hear only lies

6

In the darkness

I listen 

to the Silence

 it beckons me calling out through  vast white noise 

an aching longing  to hear your sweet sound  to call out with no answer  Is an eternity with no time

nor reason

7

Tempers wearing thin

Still abrasive  You hide beneath your skin With serpents tongue  You spit poison  into half-closed eyes  Feeble minds  Make minds of madness Unwind  With their self-righteous 

Sense of self 

Disregarding their own demise
