Darkness

Battles in the darkness of life
as threadded webs decieve my mind
the twisted words of thorny wrath
cloaked sheaths crushing my breath
laughing and haunting echos

I am squeezed by this spinning darkness
of tormented sounds
emptiness filling my bones
fragile and desolate it seems to go
deep down
this darkness knows

It ravels my memory
but I am blind
sensing this coldness
within my heartbeat

I love this write! I read it aloud, and it really flows well. Your words are enthralling to say the least. I cannot heap enough praise on the fact that you found me on here, chance meetings leading to thrilling readings!

sometimes the darkness can show us things that we arent willing to accept..its only then when we do accept what it brought forward that we would know that we will get thru those hours where only dark seem to live.

[Coyote Poetry]

The darkness of life can take over if we become weak. When we become cold and listless. There is little left for us. I like the feel and the emotion of the poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.
