She and I

You can only shine, when others don't. One lives not, when all is dead. Yet one dies, when all lives.

Full of life and ardor was she,

A complete antithesis of what I would be.

The darkness and light contrast so much,

But one cannot live without the other, what a strange bunch.

 

The brighter the light, the larger the shadow.

A loyal companion that seems supernatural.

Where one goes, the other will follow,

A blessed curse that seemed so hollow.

 

It’s been while, but I called out her name,

She turned around, and did the same.

I stood there watching her, for she was my light,

So bright and pure, she was all my might.

 

Standing beside her, we walked hand in hand.

She was my light, so bright and pure.

I held her pain and sorrow, under my veil.

Walking briskly she lived her life, confident that her shadow was by her side.

 

Even in the darkness she was full of bliss,

Knowing I was there, sneaking a kiss.

Shrouded by me, she slept soundly in the dark.

Knowing it was I who enveloped her, hugging her tightly in the dusk.

 

For she was my light,

And I her shadow.

What a strange bunch,

A blessed curse that seemed so hollow.

Happy that you enjoyed it. Went for something a little different on this one... Found out that more of my newer poems lean towards the emotions of love instead of horror/fear...

I like romance and dark romance as long as its not too dark but most of mine are romantic.

[Soma-ko]

I enjoy your romance genre poems, although I tend to not have much comments on them. I simply enjoy them, and have no words for, or against them.
