Dance of the Dark

Dancing across the black of the night

the dark, it came knocking on the door.

Pranced down the porch where light

dwelled, and light was no more.

Glory was his, the grail was his,

Gory was his, yet became he frail,

gasping for breath,  he quivered and trembled

near to death, he grasped the rail

where light once dwelled, and shriveled.

As he lay on the ground, life drained

through his veins, he died in the kingdom

where he once reigned.

Together they danced, the dark and light

and forever they will, through the night.

Great read. It made me think of Medieval times. I enjoyed your work. The lines:

"As he lay on the ground, life drained

through his veins, he died in the kingdom

where he once reigned.

Together they danced, the dark and light

and forever they will, through the night."

spoke to me the most. Good job and keep writing!

Darkly enchanting dance, good to be able to still see light as we prance through the dark....only takes a single star or poem in your case. Very lovely Devesh.

'together'....

Your interpretation is completely new to William, thank you for the insight. I love to get to know what goes through your mind when you read. Thanks for reading and for the correction, I'll fix it now :)

Always interesting to hear what other's gather from our words, n'est-ce pas? Lots of dark reads on the cafe today must be some kind of gravitational pull of dark moons. ;-)

[Devesh]

Yes, it is. :) Hehe, could be a reason :P
