The Following are Poems to be found in the soon to be released book Pitch Darke: the Poetic Chronicles of Damien Darke
Torn Soul
Tattered and bruised I lay beaten and bloodied, Near broken Breathing is difficult, Towards the heavens I cast my eyes Seeking and pleading, My heart barely beats My mind going in a thousand Directions. A torn soul Seeking serenity in a crazy world, Begging salvation Only to find solitude, Aching for love Only washed down in pain, Deserving more than I can afford For I’ve a worthless soul.
Beaten and downtrodden My hurt can’t be explained, I’ve walked a lone for so long My darkness is my best friend, The tears I cry No one to hear my woes, Prayers and pleading Please fill this torn soul.
Falling Star
The night skies call to me Whispers upon silken winds Songs through trees leaves As I sit out staring…
The stars are bright tonight The night is so calming I wonder where you are tonight And if you’re thinking of me…
My thoughts of you they fill me My thoughts of you they run wild I can’t but wonder if you’re thinking of me I wonder what you’re thinking right now…
My mind’s a whirl It falls briefly a focus in the sky Streaking with its tail to follow As it falls …
If I wish upon a star Are you wishing upon the same star? Do you see it as I do? Are you thinking of me as I of you?
Lonely my nights as I sit alone Wishing yet knowing it does no good Our world though small our worlds are so far Another night without my love.
Falling star floating there For my eyes only Blinking bright until you flash out And here again I am again… left alone.

Migraine Nightmare
The dreams they’ve come, Lord once again, Through the pains of the headaches My mind they bend. I can hear the screeching and clawing and the blood I do smell, My welcome back, a trip through My own personal Hell. I try to cry out as the claws breech my flesh, Angels and demons pulling me asunder, is this but one more test? How shall I favor, Lord, this I do not know; I scream out as the pain in My head continues to grow, And as the lights behind my eyes, continue to brighten, Do I welcome this pain, or am I to be truly frightened? Can I conquer this pain even as I’m being pulled apart? Does a man truly exist on the strength of his brain or the content of his heart? I have no answers, Oh Lord, for this pain is upon me, Driving my dreams as if it were a movie for me to see, Pushing this pen as if to describe all before my eyes, The strangeness I see and feel as the pain is realized. Relinquish your fight, oh demons, and from Darke let there be day, Let this headache cease to be, Oh this I do pray. Let it end I beg and end this torment to thee, oh Lord, I beseech, And from the darkness of the pain into the glory of the I light I shall someday breech.
In your eyes
In your eyes I can see my light, Nestled there beckoning me from the dark, Yearning for you, your touch pulling me from my plight, Our soul intertwined, two now beat as one heart. Underlying passions alight with sweet intentions, Recalling again the feelings of your desires, Embarking on a journey of heavenly sensations, Yes, my love, you have me engulfed in your fires. Ecstasies emblazoned as I hold you close to me, Savoring our love for the entire world to see. PathwaysI've seen you |
