Muse of Darkness
in my hour of need
I turn to you

the light no longer holds promise for me
it has taken much from my heart
the wounds are such that the pain
is too much for me to bear to show

in you I can hide
          in you I can heal
                    your words are of life
                    your songs are of love
          in you I can learn
in you I can love

Muse of Darkness
in my hour of need
I turn to you

cover me in the shroud of your spirit
hide me from my world full of anger
so that I can be alone in your heart
and I can be with you in your cold arms

in you I can feel
          in you I can touch
                    your hands give me strength
                    your lips give me calm
          in you I can be
in you I can love

Muse of Darkness
in my hour of need
I turn to you

A beautiful poem, written from a beautiful heart...

This is very lovely, and you are showing us that indeed darkness can give a light of its own...

Nice work...although I think the arms of the night are warm.  


Can I be your willful breeze,
Come to touch,
Your heart to ease?

Again you have reminded me of my own thoughts. I am always seeking shadows, they are so much kinder than the light.
Comforting in their own way.
You have spoken another heartfelt piece.

This is so beautiful Sven, to find that in anyone is a gift within itself.
