Darkness, My Darkness Darkness, my darkness, why do you torture me? What have I done to deserve this agony. What lies have I told, what pain have I bestowed, what hearts have I torn and turned so cold. Darkness, oh darkness, why do you torture me. w. james beard, jr. P.S. - if you get a chance see "Father Of The Cherokee" in "open 8", after posting, I thought maybe I should have posted it here. jimmy [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 07-26-2000).] |

The dark cove of night speaks in restless tongue. And the pain is a glorious gift to dare the winged flight of love to descend below and submerge within the darkness where the light is more brilliant than the eyes can behold. A beautiful poem . . .thank you for sharing* Chere |

~James~ Very concise and to the point and agonizingly said with artistic flair. I, too, sadly relate to this poem, I have questioned this many times. You're one of the very few poets who can write of pure pain and make it flow beautifully with your words Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |
