With my darkling

0 posted 2004-01-24 07:09 PM

He waits inside, the quiet thing
so subtle as he weaves his dream
his paintbrush soft, a loving thing
paints wicked strokes, of empty things

He never shows his face to me
yet never hides from what you see
as usual, I'm the last to know
exactly how far he will go

It comes to me, a memories glimpse
in photo flash, of things done since
the last time I gave into whims
the last time I gave into him

He grabs control, when I am weak
I never hear him act or speak
my darkling never gives a peek
though I know anger makes me weak

So if I hurt you, was it me?
or was it him setting you free?
I never trust my darkling, how?
he'd sell me out for peanuts now

Oh my goodness! This is a keeper. Do you mind if I keep it in my library?

this sounds like an apology of sorts...
and if it is, then i liked the way you approached it.
very enjoyable read

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I certainly hope the apology was accepted as you have a heart that can feel and is open to all! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jason, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It takes courage to face our darkling...and much trust to blend his might within our own velvet glove. TD

Good poem. Sounds like you're getting him under control.
