This poem is entitled Mind Heart in Soul. I was at a dark time in my life, and I still am. But through it all, I managed to turn negative feelings, into an art form, with this piece. My poem was a part of a stop the gun violence project in college. #poetry #poem #darkpoetry #poet #poetrycommunity

#Inktober Challenge (horror poetry edition)

Day 2: Relic 💍

#inktober2026 #darkpoetry #halloween #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #horrorsky #horror #horrorwriting
Day 2: Relic Martha went around giddily, telling everyone at the party about the relic she inherited recently from her late aunty. Highly expensive and rare it was so the word got around, Martha wasn’t slick. Some felonious people heard it too and they came up with an evil trick. A week after the party, the relic was nowhere to be found. If only Martha were careful, she wouldn’t be resting under the ground.

the only way
to #purify your body
rid the demons that took refuge
is to exorcise them through your hand
and bleed it all out
through the ink

#Mournful looking into the depths of
life, where suffering seems
eternal, where the grave still
crave the living. Despite how many
bodies go in it it’s never satisfied.
Centuries of collective grief,
which number is greater tear drops
or people deceased?

Where twilight deepens, the human soul unravels—revealing beauty, terror, and truth in equal measure.

I... tried to name it?
But every sound felt grotesque
It demanded... Silence.

in the pursuit of whimsy
everyone has fallen for its spell,
the shadows don't disappear
yet blind eyes remain turned

Beneath a dying moon,
I buried what remained of me.
The roses forgot my name,
and the shadows remembered it. 🖤🥀

A little lamplight, dark water, a note that asks you to come closer. “The Ligature” holds tenderness and unease in the same breath. Read the full poem free on FREQ.

for stars are born
of such utterance
their fragments held together
by the gravity
of the luminous sky,
serene vibrations pass
and release a soft pulse
on the charcoal resonant matter

Spring tides high, air light,
New cycle to get it right,
Grind sinks drifting wish.

Wise choices distant in youth,
Clear with age, harder to cause.
