Submersion

All I feel is darkness closing in

I wish only to succumb to its sweet caress

Oh Dark, forget the Light.

Let's run away from here.

To a place where shadows reign supreme

With their whisper crowns and their nightmare thrones.

To a place where even the brightest shining

Could not penetrate to the forsaken land.

The lights scorch and burn, while you

My sweet darkness,

Only envelop the senses in a thick blanket of no worries.

No cares.

No tarnished views.

Just

Dark

Light does not do this.

It brings forth the monsters and demons through its filtered lighting and lenses.

The monsters tear, the demons take over.

The people become blinded by insecurity and empty promises

So very full of anger and spite

I do not want greed, like those with the Vile Touch.

I do not want to retch up

My memories, my dreams

For the sake of fame and fortune

I

Don't

Want

Society

Anymore

Kiss me, my blackened love

For yours is the only touch I need.

For too long I have endured the light-

Now I shall fight back and

Return

To the darkness

From whence I came.

Author's Note

Kind of a hidden meaning... Some of it's even hidden from me. :P

Quite a different concept on light vs. dark, a wonderful example of the role perspective takes. It's really deep and well-written. I like the strong ending.
"Kiss me, my blackened love
For yours is the only touch I need.
For too long I have endured the light-
Now I shall fight back and
Return
To the darkness
From whence I came."
Thank you

Easy to desire to find a place of safety. I like the story and description in your poem. Society don't excite the heart and mind. We need to find something to excite our heart and mind. No weakness in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
