Dance of the Dark

Dancing across the black of the night

the dark, it came knocking on the door.

Pranced down the porch where light

dwelled, and light was no more.

Glory was his, the grail was his,

Gory was his, yet became he frail,

gasping for breath,  he quivered and trembled

near to death, he grasped the rail

where light once dwelled, and shriveled.

As he lay on the ground, life drained

through his veins, he died in the kingdom

where he once reigned.

Together they danced, the dark and light

and forever they will, through the night.

Great read. It made me think of Medieval times. I enjoyed your work. The lines:

"As he lay on the ground, life drained

through his veins, he died in the kingdom

where he once reigned.

Together they danced, the dark and light

and forever they will, through the night."

spoke to me the most. Good job and keep writing!

Every words and lines brilliantly connected to form a wonderful piece. From the start to the end, everything is amazingly written. Great poem!

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good ending to the amazing poetry.
"Together they danced, the dark and light
and forever they will, through the night."
I like how you led the reader to the ending. Many types of dance. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

"...he died in the kingdom
where he once reigned."

Something's telling me I need to ponder on these lines. ;) Well-written, Devesh!

I like the classical, Shakespearean style you project here (at least that's how it comes across to me). I enjoyed the read Devesh!

Woah, not the comparison I was expecting, but appreciated all the same. Thank you for reading, Stefanie :)

[Stefanie Holmes]

That's just how the style came across to me. When I was picturing the scene, with the descriptions you gave, I was in that time era in my mind.

[Devesh]

I'm flattered, to say the least. Thank you :)

Yet became he frail

True words spoken my friend. A little waltz and wail we'll all have to deal with. Eh
At least you're writing works like these :) it's better that way

[Devesh]

This one made me laugh! Thank you for reading :)
