With my darkling

0 posted 2003-04-16 02:50 PM


With the darkling, you ask a dance?
Did he warn you, my only friend?
He allures you with sweet romance?
Your soul he will have,  in the end

Shall we start, a sultry tango
Lost in wild dark tribal heartbeats
Gentlemen  bow, and then we go
Lost in passion, on satin sheets

Dance he leads, he never follows
Shall we end, with swaying slow dance
Darkling wins, yet feels so hollow
On satin sheets, my darkling dance

I can imagine that it would feel hollow. A potent message here!

Ah, good...a small critique then...the last line confuses me as to who is feeling hollow.  The darkling?  But he wins.  The female then...so...

third stanza

quote:
Dance he leads, he never follows
Shall we end, with swaying slow dance
Darkling wins, yet feels so hollow
On satin sheets, my darkling dance


perhaps changing the third line to read

"Darkling wins, yet she feels hollow"

may rid others of any misunderstanding...unless, of course, I am the ONLY one... and THAT's certainly possible!  LOL...

I enjoyed this very much, Jason!  Thank you!

Thank you Poe for the beautiful write, you ar
such a darkling moth.  Feeling a little exposed my self, mirror image, but hollow is starting to sound rather pleasant right now after that sultry poem!
