The light around you blinds.
No-one is worthy of staring it in the eye,
it flashes its dubious glow
and lets nobody past
through sight nor through soul.
It flickers in the wind,
like a candle losing its shine,
but never does it burn out.
Instead it lures me,
enticing me with passionate kisses
and I will not turn away
from this powerful opportunity.
I wait in the darkness,
in hope that one day,
your blooming light will be blinded
by my dullest sense of hope.

this was really great.  I think it was the first I've read of your poems (sorry, I haven't been around for a while) and I really liked it.  Keep it up.  I'm looking forward to reading more!

This was a great poem.  The title caught my eye b/c I have one by the same title, but this just proves how different 2 poems w/ the same title can be.  Nicely done!

Nicely done here Kim....not my fav by you, but still a good one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

You did good.  I personally prefer your others but your poems still have so much strength in them.  keep it up.

Nice job on this Kim. You had some good lines in your piece. Mind you, you might want to work on the strength aspect of it because when read, it lacks a bit of oomph.  

Thanks for tje read.
