among the black |

A fading sun sets in once more to question what its shining for upon a world cold to the core. frozen upon its days. then the star of brilliant light that softly weeped into the night with sorrow gave up in his fight to bless us with his rays. the empty moon with brother gone grew weary with no coming dawn and faded with his power drawn out from his very mind. and here we sit among the black to reason why we wont have back the very thing we’ve come to lack a light among the blind. |

Kevin. Not only a great poet,But a prophet as well. You see VERY VERY well for someone so young. The Bible says the same thing in different words. |

You definitely impressed me with this one. To think such well-crafted, haunting images can come from the simple rising and setting of the sun and moon. Very enjoyable. Mike |

kevin: i've read a lot of your work in a number of forums since i've been here and this is by FAR my favorite... the rythym and rhyme lend themselves well to the subject matter as the rising and falling sun and moon are kept in cadence, so is the verse... so many things can be pulled from the symbolizm in this work... bravo sincerely, **jerome the boy whose brain got left out in the rain and nobody bothered to dry it off when they put it back in |

Kevin, yet another great poem!! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

I agree! Great poem, Kevin! Well done! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Kevin- You simply astonish me with the maturity of your work. I particularly like the images occuring between the sun/stars/moon and the light/black. Awesome ... just awesome. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
