Like black coffee swirling
The descent into the abyss
Voices ring out clearly
Yet they are not my own
The cries of mortal depressions
Embraced with a pain darkly
Chains of emotions entwining
All naught but just for me
Drenched in sweet sorrow
Walk the plains of everyday life
Like the setting sun
Becomes undone
I will go gentle into the night...

Like Night needs Day
Good needs Evil
I need you to be complete...

Jean-Phillippe...I do believe you have made me into a fan of yours. I really enjoy your style of writting, It resembles the way I use to write, sort of dark, but your poems tell a story which I like. Thanks for sharing...Paul

"Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
~Dylan Thomas.


Your last line implies a giving in?
"Like the setting sun
Becomes undone
I will go gentle into the night..."

An antithesis in your feelings?

Excellent poetry.
