Dark Poem- "Night Life"
NB: This older post is getting dusty My Daughter at the Pond Please help before Steem time runs dry.
I'll return votes to those who help sweep the dust. ❤
Now, on to this post:
This was written years ago while in a very deep hole. My next blog is definitely going to be much lighter, this corner is starting to look dark. Let there be light!!
Night Life
A bloodied sigh painted inside the trunk of undry leather.
Still alive, tickling without humour.
Through the branches of air sacs she breathes- rather, she does not breathe; she regurgitates a bloody sigh. Choking on the consistency in her life; the only thing that's been true to her side,
like a stalking wolf in the dark night.
Except,
· the darkness isn't night- it's her life
Always there.
Even, in the brightest of days,
· ALWAYS
· ··············· there

Like the ravishing lurking wolf- the night, the darkness, her life is carelessly devouring itself. Her very own existence is an intelligent deformation freakishly appearing human.
· A disease decomposing,
· mutilating,
· and eating itself inside...
. then.. out.
Like kidney stones, this intelligent deformation can appear a beautiful and even elegant lure.
Don't be fooled by its sharp edges which only intend to lacerate inside..
then.. out.
This is not a meal fit for the wolf regardless of countless meatless days conjuring that growl- a sound not from vocal cords.
Still,
............. the wolf eats.
As it eats, it dines on own flesh... ravishing.
For, the wolf is she; the disease that is her life; her existence.
...
She sighs a bloodied sigh created from cryless tears choked back into her trachea.
Dying inside..
then.. out.
Regurgitating her soul.
...... Regurgitating self.

This is very raw and real and beautiful @anaclark, we are made up of darkness as well as light and we can not have one with out the other. You depicted the darkness so well in this poem how it is all encompassing, how it can devour you and yet you in the end you came out. I really really enjoyed this glimpsed into your life, thank you for sharing it x
Thank you for understanding.
I'm actually quite a positive women most of the time. Like many, the writer side it's usually dormant until I need to release the dark.
It helps a lot.
What is written in a corner usually medicates into a bright hall of impossibility. ❤
