I'll post one of my darker one's. Though, it's not nearly as dark as 17th's, lol! Good stuff, man! I Love dark scribe . . .
‘Shattered Soul’
Church bells toll glorious, and true
violent chills race up over a spine.
‘Tis a man, a sinner, unruly, and rude
the holy father he may never find.
No wisdom held in high regard
no upright walk, but wicked way.
Tattered from his death, posing as birth
is but his entrance to hells doorway.
From the beginning of birth, decaying
deterred from the righteous tongue.
Marching onward bent on living, but
falling backward off the ladders rung.
A ghostly pale covers him whole...
darkened circles underneath his eyes.
So tired of losing every war, left
wearing this seasoned guise.
Never knowing joy in life, burned
over the righteous coals of God.
Wanton, weary, wicked from womb
he is a spawn of Satan’s rod.
Whore to evil, to Lucifer true, his mother
the woman that paved his way.
Forced to live with without caring eyes
his mind hardened with evil sway.
The church bell tolls its holy tune.
Tis this man that hell has wrought.
God is calling a shattered soul, to save
but his deafened ears hear not.
A desperate call to salvations grace
is shrugged off with an angry sigh!
Wanton, weary, wicked, and lost,
Yet, the father he will always deny

And another one . . . This is how I came up with my user name years ago, lol!
‘Caged’
Desired expectations, insane revelations
losing heavens reward-eyes wide open
(Still I’m blind)
Forever in mind, twisting-turning
evolving-yearning-break me down
(Then build me up again)
You mend, a loss of hope-your reasons appall
to me you call-you bring me up
(Just for the fall)
Standing tall-loss of faith, religion once more
corrupts my core-take my breath
(Then drown me in fire)
I’ll wallow in this mire-from up to down
a smile to frown-twisting in this swirl
(I exist to give)
I take to live-nothing can be lost
forever tossed-a coin, heads up-heads down
(forever bound)
Never found-never saved, my mind at rage
I’m in this cage, but no breaking free
(From the bent reality-that is me)
