Sometimes those on earth are the truly dead.

Darkness dwells upon my soul,

Plans are formed for final goal.

Pain that aches and rocks me thru,

Starts each morning like it’s new.

Fight grows less as time does pass,

Spiritual yes, but hold no mass.

Time approaches, let’s me know,

Doubt I’ll see another snow.

Think not of me as some dreadful knave,

It is not I lying in that grave.

    Good poem Clay. I especially like the last two lines.

  • LOVELYHONEY on May 8, 2009

    In darkness blind men see light,
    So darkness can be acceptable all right,
    To some everything appears dark,
    To others it’s about stark,
    The nudity of life,
    Of passion,
    Of ultramodern fascination.

    What one can do nowadays?
    In the dark,
    No one can do it,
    In broad daylight hark.

    Let darkness prevail,
    All day all night,
    All that finally does actually prevail,
    Is the mighty ones fight.
