Darkness

No one controls the hearts desire. Nor whether it be happy or sad.

Of all the faces man puts forth

to hide the dark inner sorrows

Love is the one that matters most

as from the deep soul it borrows

 

We know the Fate's in their fury

don't fear rage from their painful screams

For whenever the truth be told

they harm us only in our dreams

 

We pine for that one's acceptance

a glint in the young woman’s eye

The sweet smell of her hair caress

as she wistfully saunters by

 

Man will always question his fate

search for that brighter inner light

To illuminate his darkness

and scare away the haunting night

When we age I find we trade youth for treasure of experience .

Wow! this is amazing.
"Of all the faces man put forth
To hide his deep inner sorrows
Love is the one that does matter
As from the deep soul it borrows"
These four lines and the last four, really connects with my soul. "Darkness" is magnificent, I really enjoy your writings they always have a message in them.
Thank You, Sheila

I love this! The beginning stanza is very captivating.
"Of all the faces man puts forth.
To hide his dark inner sorrows.
Love is the one that does matter.
As from the deep soul it borrows."
