Sweet Noir

Sometimes darkness finds me....once again

Cover me hold me
wrap me in your soft
cloak of blackest velvet
caress me with your closeness
darkness

It has been sometime
since last we were together
i didn't forget you
i'm ready for you now
my old forever love

You were always there for me
your softness enveloping me like
a lover so close
my  beautiful darkness

How could have i stayed away for so long
i have been so hollow without you
no soul mate
sweet noir
darkness fair
lovely fate

You never forsake me
always you come to cast your spell upon me
to make me realize what tears are for
what hurt is about

Sadness
loneliness
you know the feelings well
beautiful dark

You have shared my nightmares
fears broken spirit
i have seen you cry
cried with you

i know now i cannot live without you
my lover
forever darkness

Please hurry
come
i am waiting impatiently
for your caress

You light up the skies
pull me into you
holding me till dawn's first light
my electric darkness

Like mercury come quickly
together we will light the midnight skies
with our tears and sorrow
till morrow's early light

                                Bewitch me

Sunny skies sometimes are overcome by clouds...The picture is called "Fighting Darkness".. I rather like it

Distinctly Gothic.

I loved the piece - especially because the two times that I read it - I came out with two very different interpretations and undercurrent of emotions conveyed: the apparent enlightenment, and an undercurrent of silent resignation. Great work!

Very spicy Choloe. I always have liked reading your work. This was a great poem.
Thanks for sharing.

"I have been one acquainted with the night" but it isn't the darkness of pain and isolation. I'm just a night owl. lol Wonderful write Chloe...now CHEER UP! :o)

[odhiambo]

too dark for me to understand really.well atleast not now

[EILEEN McGUINNESS]

Darkness often masks the fears and exasperations which all too often we bare witness to in the cold light of day, we can take comfort from the dark shadows hiding the broken heart and flood of tears as depression will no doubt take hold as the days get shorter and our pain lingers for longer.
A really inspiring poem well done.

I so understand this spill... darkly beautiful and beautifully dark! The essence of your words flows into my soul in recognition. I love the mood and flow.

[Sheila Kline]

I am glad you have decided to feature this poem as I would have missed it. It is dark and filled with pathos that says so much about emptiness, and the lost feelings that accompanies it! You know that which torments you, that which is an old familiar friend as it shadows your spirit. This has much depth, and expression of pain.....something that is in each of us, yet is surfaces in different ways. You have been able to describe yours in a most expressive way. WELL DONE!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

They say misery love company and sadly our dark feelings can be our best company and make us feel whole... very deep and intense write.

[Titus McGuire]

This poem kind of reminds me of the opening lines of Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence'. 'Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again' This poem gives you that feel, to be returning to an old friend, or, as you so cleverly put it, a lover.

'It has been sometime
since last we were together
i didn't forget you
i'm ready for you now
my old forever love'

This verse, to me, says that darkness is something that you once tried to escape, to move away from, though now you return to it with open arms, knowing the darkness will always be accepting. The darkness was something that you had to accept as well, not something that you first loved. 'I'm ready for you now', implies that you weren't ready to accept to begin with.

'You were always there for me
your softness enveloping me like'

The darkness was never far, though you tried to live in the light, but soon you found solace in the darkness. It was always there, never turning you away...It was, again, accepting.

'How could have i stayed away for so long
i have been so hollow without you'

Before I break down my idea of what these lines represent, I'd like to state that I think the words 'have I' should be reversed to 'I have'...just a suggestion. These lines, to me, reflect the facade of societies lies. 'How could have i stayed away for so long' asking why you did not return to your beloved darkness, a place where you could be yourself and not be judged. 'i have been so hollow without you' Here is the mask, feeling hollow becuase of the role you have to portray rather than getting to be yourself. The last few lines of this verse stating your affection for the one who accepts you as you are.

'You never forsake me' again restating that acceptance, which I feel is the focal point of this work.

'always you come to cast your spell on me
to make me realize what tears are for
what hurt is about'

The darkness settles in around us to help us reflect on what we do not have in the light, so to speak. It is our comforter, even though it is harsh reality.

'i know now i cannot live without you' This line is about accepting this part of you, the darkness within.

'You light up the skies' I feel refers to being enlightened. The darkness reveals to us many secrets about our personal pain, and how it alone will always be accepting of our inner struggles and inner demons...It paints a black picture of the world outside of the darkness, giving us a different point of view in which to see the world.

Overall, I believe this piece was about acceptance, and the comfort we find in our own solitude...in our own darkness. It's a place to face our fears, shed our tears, and reveal our secret hopes of a better tomorrow. We are born in darkness, we die in darkness. Bravi, bravissimi.

Darkness, sometimes is the very thing one needs to see the spark of light and climb back to it. With out Fate's Shadows we as humans wouldn't no what brightness is!
I really enjoyed this piece. It makes a person think, and with your wonderful visions it's easy to be drawn in along this ride with Noir.

Great Write!

The last line just amazed me. I love the phrase "electric darkness" a fantastic poem, very emotional
