I am overwhelmed with what life brings to me, So many things to ponder. I sit and while the hours away, Things are ever in my wonder. To sit and watch life pass me by, I have a total fear. Darkness shrouds my very eyes, Unless your standing near. Since I was just a little boy, With all life's litte sparks. In fear I clutched my favorite toy, At the approaching of the dark. As I grew older, in my teens, I forgot about those fears. My soul grown callous, hard, and mean, To bold to shed a tear. In the twilight of a man to be, My soul began to shred. Love had finally conquered me, I was soon to wed. I had no room for thoughts of fright, my heart consumed with fire. I would boldly claim, bring on the night, The darkness I desire. My youthful age has fled away, Leaving me with doubts. My fears comes back in a haunting way, When the light is fading out. Darkness overcomes my soul, Once again it seems. Enshrouds me with it's blackened shoal, And covets all my dreams. Stand by me and hold my hand, Help me through the night. When you are there to help me stand, The dark turns into light. mojar |

I like this poem, Mojar, though I stand at the complete opposite of the spectrum from you. It seems while I walk in the light, it's the comfort of Darkness I crave. I often have to remind myself that what lies there isn't all I crack it up to be.  Michael |

This is great Mojar Stand by me and hold my hand, Help me through the night. When you are there to help me stand, The dark turns into light. Hmm... how true this is Take care.~ Tara ~ "A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |

This is a good one! I like how you've portrayed something really dark, and finally found the resolution, after all the years of searching. Nice work! |
