there have been times
times when I’ve tried
to recoup myself
from beginning to end
release my wildest fears

stirring the cauldron of yesteryear

but I must admit
and consent
the shedding of your words
of articulate accountability
surging within my thoughts
with calligraphic admissions of guilt
your fountain of letters are stained
proposals beckoning me
to barbarian displays of lust
ahhh . . . the need in me
to wallow within your darkness
so you know I’ll come sic

Stirring words Paddy. Your poem is intriguing. You have made some descriptive combinations that are bedeviling.

Darkness has a voice all its own, though not many listen to it, or would dare be intrigued by it. For those that do, well it's not always that easy to let go of. That you can traverse the world of light as easy and often as you can the dark is gift in itself. Enjoyed.
