Black and Gold

by Dark Secrets   Jun 15, 2008


Window sill of my life ahead
Drawn upon black parchment
It sooths me to say I bled
Upon that paper till it blackened

A lonely feeling encounters my heart
Darkness is where I belong
Feeding on the fears hidden in a tart
Delicious poison disguised in crimson desires

Solid rocks stand in my way, pointy and slant
Bringing me down to a crash in each try
Beneath the hardened pavement a plant
Grows shining golden rays of hope

Surging muscles form gracious smiles
Unknown prosperity heeding forth
Happy events attract rainbow piles
Not all in this world is dark and cold

Sprinkle on my black parchment shrouded
Golden glitter covers memories of dismal
Opening a page optimistically clouded
Life lies beneath the mist of Black and Gold

    Wow...

    I really, really like this poem. It's powerful and so vivid, portrayed with amazing descriptions. I like your choice of words from the beginning to the end, along with the message of the poem. I like how it goes from darker tones to its complete contrast.

    I usually don't prefer rhyming poetry but here, the rhymes worked very well.
    I find this poem quite original, metaphorical in a great way.
