Let me be

i don't usually write poetry and this was inspired by my best friend. p.s. it's about shadow

Alluring dark,

A lightning spark,

Once again in darkness, I reside,

My light now redefined.

Retreat now forbidding night,

Defeated by the light.

Light be one with me,

Take me from darkness and make me free.

It's from dark that I flee,

So mote it be.

This is my life,

In all it's strife.

I wish I could be,

Neither light nor dark - but truly me.

By the pale moonlight, my path lays clear,

Though hermetic to others, obscure and convert.

Guiding me onwards hallowed respite,

A journey of hope to find balance and peace.

My soul, I would purge of its darkness so dread.

All I ask of this troublesome wearisome world,

Is to relinquish this battleground both endless and stark,

That is waged in my soul by the light and the dark.

A great poem of the two opposing powers, light and dark. I like the dichotomy that flows through till the last line. well done! :D
