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
 

Author's Note

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!

This is a very beautiful and emotional poem. I'm speechless. It's amazing. I absolutely love the last line. =]

[Vatsayayana]

I love the last line because it sums up this piece beautifully.
Bewitching.
The ever loving dark, it was loathe to set me free.
This is haunting, passionate, rich... dark.
It's a complete feast for me. I soaked up every word, tasted every emotion.
Wonderfully done.

Great poem. Very similar to one I have been sketching out for a while now about chasing darkness through the trees etc. ha! will have to alter mine now......I like the idea of being hollow inside. Have a song by the Buzzcocks called 'Hollow Inside'. It's so different from all their other love punk songs - which I guess is why you will have never heard it!
I've been putting first lines to last lines of poems recently to see if they have a concise thought pattern.....
'Cover me hold me'
'Bewitch me'
Yes, yours certainly works and leaves me intrigued by the mood that follows.

personal s**t here. i really like the idea of being "hollow." never thought to word it like that. you have a great way of describing concepts like these.

This is a beautiful piece that I can really relate to. I spend much of my time in the darkness, holding it close like a fond lover or best friend. I really enjoyed reading this. Bravo!

Sometimes those dark times can seem beautiful when we regard them as an old familiar feeling and friend. Great poem expressing this and so many other emotions!

[Thomas James Martin]

Wonderful poem, so honest, but you capture the "whirlpool" of darkness: its warmth and mellowing capacity with its stark, scary nature. I really appreciate this poem.

Thanks,
Tom
