Darkness fears the light
For the light will always show
     Darkness for what it is
Cold
     Unfeeling
               Small
                     Simple

Darkness without the light
Doesn't have to show it's reality
     It can hide itself
Bold
     Fearless
              Gifted
                     Complex

Darkness I know you
I have seen you envelop others
     Fooling their hearts' sight
Deceiver
         Story-teller
                      Viper
                            Liar

Darkness I battle you
The shield of light I carry
     To protect my charges
Defender
         Healer
                Knight
                       Champion

~Aahh Sven,...this is such a cool poem.

Darkness I know you
I have seen you envelop others
     Fooling their hearts' sight
Deceiver
         Story-teller
                      Viper
                            Liar

*This is so true.  After a while it takes it's own route...takes you with it.

Darkness I battle you
The shield of light I carry
     To protect my charges
Defender
         Healer
                Knight
                       Champion

*Oh can I have some?...Can you teach me to to be these things? Hehe.  I loved this Sven.

Sven my masterful kindred soul, this was wonderful work from you.... one of your best.
Together as kindred we will face life's darkness together....   Hon I love the way you put this together and the thoughts and feelings behind it all.... Superb  

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Sven, I once too was taken and decieved by the darkness.  The path out is not an easy one, but one that can be navigable.  Hang in there, and always know that there are friends in the other poets here.

As one currently traversing through the darkness, I find so much company here in it. I wish that there was a champion to come and get us all out. I suppose the religious of the world would say that is God, and I suppose that could be true. In review of what you have written, I perceive a bold and massive fight between God and Satan, and it appears that Goodness has won. I would be curious to know your inspiration here...
Very beautiful and bold writing Sven.
