Poem -
Silent Screams
Submerged in silence, cold and still, I sit.
As darkness creeps, I nearly weep, alas.
Old ghosts waft by, cause me to cry a bit
I find that I'm left feeling quite aghast.
~~~~~~~
Whilst demons dream, I plot my schemes–to wit,
eschewing all the angst and fear I know;
escaping them, then on a whim, wrists slit
as out of me I watch my lifeblood flow.
~~~~~~~
Now, I'm no longer free to come and go,
white padded walls and darkened halls have shown.
This cell becomes the only home I'll know.
As terror builds, my heart I shield, alone.
~~~~~~~
Asylum sounds are graveyard grounds to me.
Each day, a silent suicide's decree.

Hello Dean!
Good sonnet, my friend. I haven't the courage to write one. Love the darkness, and here I see it. :)

Sure, you could write a sonnet, Nome.
You know what they say--Practice makes perfect.
Thanks a bunch for reading mine.

You have portrayed darkness very well in this poem with the images you have used.
Having experienced so much darkness and pain myself I can in some ways relate to how it feels to be in darkness
