Dark & Light

A piece about our dark and light within.

Bubble bubble, toil and trouble
go to Hell and meet your double
and if that double bites
try to rise up to the lights
and if your double is nice
would you think twice
would you claw your way out of Hell
will you be mesmerized by the bell
will you be enthralled by the spell
should you leave behind your dark side
could you decide?

Our light sides and our dark sides. The devil on one shoulder, the angel on the other. Endless temptation, endless going back and forth. I pick the dark side sometimes. It can be more fun. The the angle (the light) is always there to pull me back. Love your poem here Eric. Very creative and very impressive. You're a superb writer, so glad to read your work again.

Compelling dark poem. Would I leave my dark side behind? Would I want to me all light? Your poem asks the universal question. I think the dark side is more often than not the winner. I enjoyed your impressive poem.

A real fun and dark poem. The fun part does not take away from the darkness nor the serious question being asked. Yes, I think people choose the dark side most because its easier. This is a real well done, well written and well crafted poem.

Yes, we choose. Which will win, the light or the dark? Maybe both. A very good question we all have to answer many times in our lives. An awesome poem Eric!
