Illumination

Figures dared to haunt

A flame of light

Only to seek

a part of its scope

Through the days

of floating about

All that could be achieved

was a black shadow 

Kindling love

carrying hope

Hearts filled with memories

Spreading a smile

Only to reach 

some form of truth

The light immersing

a field of souls

Learning to give

And partake

This light

Never grown a frown

For everything passed it

Seldom touching its body

instead deflecting

the nature of its type

While reading this, I was nodding my head and agreeing with every word in this poem.


"Figures dared to haunt
A flame of light

We, as humans, have curiosity and it's pretty atrocious the lengths we'd go to learn what it is that we don't know. Why we can't just let well enough alone baffles and irritates me.

Curiosity, The format you employ (connecting couplets) is used by another of my friends on WC, Nisreen. I tried playing around with it and found it hard to do, but you use it flawlessly.
The theme of the poem (darkness vs. light) is the perfect starting point for the piece; the word play that says "light makes right" shines like a beacon calling sadness to be eradicated. Light symbolizes the truth, the brightening of positives in the reader's world. VERY well done. take care...dan

[Nisreen]
