Dark Colours
I prepare the paint Venom blacks and brooding greys There will be no light colours On my palette today I will whip up a tempest With this tortured paintbrush Create a whirlpool of misery Into which I am sucked To the howling nights I will yield my soul Let that dark fury Be expressed in… Continue reading

Anger at Anxiety
I am fury I am rage You fed me lies You caused me pain You wrapped me in chains Made me live in fear You pierced me with sorrow Took everything I held dear In dark you hide Afraid of the light You cast long shadows In hope of causing fright But anxiety, you’re weak… Continue reading
