This comes from the Workshop. The assignment was "personification", subject "love". Well, what came out seems to fit perfectly in the Dark Passion Forum.


You’re a darkness creeping up my brain
Mystery of emotional pain
I cry you a sea of crystal tears
You hold a grip on my deepest fears

Sometimes you embrace with tenderness
Making me burn my passionate flesh
Hold my heart in the palm of your hand
Make me believe I’m in Wonderland

However, Love, you I cannot hate,
For you are also the singing blade
Of the sword of my life’s melody
Piercing my heart, yet setting me free

Drowning me in my own misery
But also making these blind eyes see
Flying me on wings of illusion
Creating order in confusion

While my sorrow embraces the sun
The rainbow’s colouring has begun
And the sea lets out a crystal roar
My dreamship gently washes ashore

Gloomy and painful you smile at me
Love, inevitable destiny

Wonderful Munda!  Even though you say it turned out dark.  It speaks to the reader.
In any forum that is well done. You should be pleased!!  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Thank you Isis : ) And I am pleased about the result. I always knew I have a dark side too, but I felt this is the one Forum that would understand this poem

Wow, Munda. This is awesome!

And I thought you said, you didn't understand personification. I just wrote a few things based on that myself. I love the concept.

Drowning me in my own misery
But also making these blind eyes see
Flying me on wings of illusion
Creating order in confusion

While my sorrow embraces the sun
The rainbow’s colouring has begun
And the sea lets out a crystal roar
My dreamship gently washes ashore

I can but only say that this is a lovely piece...full of sweet and sad emotions.
Excellent Munda

take care, janet marie

 ..."when you walked into the room...I saw their faces---
did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still...
and I felt---fascination...though I only knew you then--just casually...
then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction...
and my heart gave me away"....
