Aglaophotis

Inspired by a little New England town.

We are all diseased to an extent
much more than any ordinary vanity
The darkest demons lurk within us
and they live and die with our every move
I'm afraid of the shadows within my heart

The evil that lurks within the mind
is relaxed and intelligent unlike us
Only sense can truly conquer dark desires
but what when passion corrupts?
I'm afraid of the shadows within your heart

We are all born to die
not before we contaminate life
The brightest light can always be seen
in the innocent eyes of another... yet
I'm afraid of the shadows within your heart

[The Girl That Let You G..]

I had to look the tittle up in the dictonary...A perfectly suiting tittle it is too
-The darkest demons lurk within us
and they live and die with our every move
I'm afraid of the shadows within my heart-
Those lines hit me most..so very true.
A dark and dismal write. The structure is perfect and it flows beautifully

The last paragraph is
Beautiful done.-100

Like The GIrl that let you ... I also had to look up the title. I always enjoy learning interesting new words! (I'm a literary dork, I know...). This poem is very commemorative, but vague images. Try using more specific details to help paint the poem for the reader. Thanks for sharing!

This is dark. this poem makes me sad. But it has a beautiful flow.

There's some sense in this poem. The rhythm of this is awesome. The third stanza is the best in my opinion.
