" Why Care "

 

            " Why Care "

 

Never to know, never to see,

The person that, might have been me.

 

For I was lost, to the powers of the night.

Darkness called...the owl took flight.

 

Taking advantage of the night and its lure,

Falling into evils...that have...no cure.

 

Bitten by the pleasures that can be found,

When cast out... unto the night...ground.

 

The world of darkness...sees no light;

No differences between...wrong or right.

 

Go in for the kill...take it for free.

Feed off of the soul, that could have been me.

 

Owls and bats...see, sense...and feel,

Sucking out the good,  their hungers are filled.

 

    {P&C}  Valentine

"Why Care"
valentine,
This poem is a beautiful analogy of the draw of sin's darkness. You explained the contrasting details of darkness and it's ways and effect. The darkness actually seems to be a 'who.'
Anyway that may be stretching things a bit.
You really got this right!
"The world of darkness...sees no light.
No differences between...wrong or right."
In reading your responses to said poem, I see the subject matter. It was well executed and understandable.
I hope you are doing well and anticipating some special moments this December and lovely holiday-Christmas.
Blessings,
Kathy

Very thought provoking lines!

oooh dark clouds are hanging low. Poe-esque? but remarkably executed like so many of your other writes, Kathie.

[Valentine]

Thank you Woody. I often wondered why some of these things that call people into the dark are more important to then than their children, wife and home. Kathie

[R Smith]

feels like the dark night of the soul that besets us when we are lured from home and light into sorrows that come from living wrong, an exceptional write Kathie :)

[Valentine]

You hit the nail on the head Richard....Kathie

[SmittyJas]

Powerful and a little dark gray clouds over blue skies.

[Valentine]

Yes it would be a very dark feeling. Kathie

[Cool Girl]

This is absolutely remarkable!! It sounds quite dark..
Take care....Aless

[Valentine]

I expect people who live this kind of a life cannot be very happy. Valentine

[cassandra ziemba]

wow this is incredible! i love the feel of the darkness and pain. im guessing, and i may be wrong, but is this about a vampire? i dont know but thats what i get from this?

[Valentine]

No, and that made me laugh. This is about women of the night, who go out leaving family behind, not caring who they hurt etc. Valentine

[cassandra ziemba]

oh, im sorry i dint know about that, its still an amazing poem

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing use of words.

The above two statements were my favorite. Made me think and have some wild visions. Thank you dear friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

I was not pulled into the night life, my dad would have whipped my bottom. But I have seen it in other families and if there are little ones, they are the ones who suffer most. Kathie

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my dear friend.

[Christopher Casper]

I like how you switched up your style a bit with this one. It has a much darker tone. The night can be so much more that just a darker sky. I love how you portrayed that here. Thank you for sharing with me again.

There are a lot of men and women who fall into this trap. Valentine

[wordman]

lost to the night and all it brings

[Valentine]

Some people fall into that kind of a trap and cry because they are not strong enough to climb out of it. Kathie

[wordman]

yeah,every where I guess
