Night without a Day

A little night muse

It's strange how the darkness leans on me
creeps on me howls out it's longing
enters inside like a lovers kiss.

There is no sunshine, no daylight breaks through
this night is endless without you
you stole away the candle bright
you stole away my heart that night

Now that time has past
and heart is no longer missed
memory has faded from a mind once insane
with desire

And darkness is now my refuge
my friend
why should my soul cry out for light

For the light held out a hope
a forlorn and foolish wish
that you took
crushed
swept away, like so many broken hearts.

Now I rest in velvet darkness grand
I need no light to understand
I turn my back on break of day
and you my love may go and play.

very nice! good to see you writing again haha I quite like the alternating rhymes, makes us work a bit reading it, it also has a bit of a dark streak and the last stanza seemed quite death like to me - velvet darkness - 'underground' I think my mind added!! nice!!

Loved the feel to this.. and good to see the ink scratched out here..
My favorite stanza, which just blows me away, is...
It's strange how the darkness leans on me
creeps on me, howls out it's longing
enters inside like a lovers kiss.

Super verse..

It s very good.. I like the way you worded everything. It is a lovely poem :)

You set us free every day my friend. You caprured that sewed in feeling, the one where it feels like you are going to suffocate on your own thoughts. Like being born, that first step back into the light is a big one, you are gonna need sunglasses...lol. Great piece.

XD Nice job. You described the emotions and kept the flow without going emo and whiny. I'm sure it's a feeling most people can understand, I like it.

I like this story. When you are pissed off. Nothing can break in. You are left with darkness of mind and heart. Great ending to the outstanding poem. Thank you.

Such melodic lines in which to lose one's way in the dark.
