Hello, this thread will serve as a place where I will dump mainly poetry and other things I might want to share. To kick things of, I will post my first poetry collection "Darkness" (which I found an appropriate title) that I wrote 5 years ago. I still have a lot of works in progress which might or might not be posted here. Bear in mind when you read "Darkness" that these are the first steps I took towards poetry and I had not written that many poems before that. I have cut out the poems in my native tongue which made up a large amount of it, so if you think it is not a lot of a collection, there is the reason.
Darkness
World of Despair
Say a final farewell
Your journey begins beyond this swell
Nothing here will stay the same
You alone are the one to blame
This is where dreams are lost
No hope here will find a host
Welcome to my realm
The darkness here might overwhelm
This place makes the world unclear
Everything you know will sear
This is where dreams are lost
No hope here will find a host
Living in a nightmare
The people here they hardly care
The light will never seize the day
Eternal darkness is here to stay
This is where dreams are lost
No hope here will find a host
Approaching nothing
I search the day for a light
My blurred vision seals me
Nothing is within my sight
It’s all I’m cursed to see
In the night I never sleep
This wicked fate depresses
I wish I had tears to weep
This feeling now obsesses
Wandering below the moon
This darkness is enthralling
I hope it rejects me soon
My existence is collapsing
Void
Seeking comfort in my empty shell
The world is suffering I can tell
Nobody here is safe or sound
To the hollow I am bound
Living in desperation and despair
My life has always been unfair
Crumbling beneath my feet
It was never even sweet
Inevitable changes
I lay down on the frozen ground
Gazing at the sky
See the clouds up high
Starting to collide
Ending in calamity
This poor sky above
Crying down on me
Only bringing woe
Trapped
I will never see the sun
I am forever gone
I talk but none is there
I scream but none can hear
I watch the world outside
I never make a smile
Lost World
Suffocating in silence
Hiding the truths
Worthless to the core
The world is sick
No hope
No cure
Nothing will last
Falling
The darkness within my shell
Consumed me as I fell
Grief slowly tore me apart
Crushed the reaming of my heart
Cursed and forgotten in this situation
I am forever trapped beyond salvation
Smothered by Pain
I will rip your guts out
Listen to your pain
Enjoy your inevitable rout
Your efforts are in vain
Crushed by my hand
Drowning in despair
Welcome to my land
Nothing here is fair
Enter your eternal sleep
Suffer in that dream
I will never weep
But my eyes will gleam
Rupture of the soul
Carving on the bright shining stars
Creating some beautiful scars
Living solely for creating ado
Burning my dark, faded halo
Tormented to consuming dismay
My mind is starting to flay
Cursory losing the will to live
My sins are impossible to forgive
Dead Deities
Slaying the dreams of hope
Killing the ignorant deceivers
Executing the hapless pope
Time is out for the believers
Butchering the thoughts of life
Demolishing the pride of man
Humanity devoured by strife
Spreading chaos like a fan
Blemishing their holy society
Revoking the monopoly of salvation
Laughing at their petty piety
Creating a God-free nation
Depression
Surrounded by darkness and fear
Left with nothing at all
Alone in the dark none can hear
People can only crawl
Sparks of insanity trifle the mind
Hunger crushes the soul
Madness is starting to grind
Consuming the body as whole
The life is starting to rot away
Fainting on the floor
Emptiness is here to stay
Nothing behind the door
Endgame
As we crawl through our pathetic life
Using the first and best disguise
We are all fighting a bloody strife
Approaching the inevitable demise
The trust we sought we could not find
As nothing can be truly told
The selfishness made us truly blind
But late in life we aren’t bold
Dying more for every breath we take
Slowly turning ourselves to dust
The life we believed in was just a fake
Creating a warm imaginary crust
Nailed to time
I’m killing time
But time doesn’t die
The clock still tics
And life passes by
My life is hollow
But still goes on
Worthy of nothing
Everything – gone
Closing my eyes
And drifting away
The scarlet ground
I will not stay
I stopped my time
But only mine
Nothing is left
It is just fine
