the flows of life
take me along
that path i walk
into the light
beyond the sun

soon death will call
and take my soul
to the otherworld
just waiting to go

my life is filled with darkness
shadowing over me
perventing me from love
as i walk in sorrow and despire

i question the gods
ask for a reason
why oh why!
do you hurt me so

the answer i still await
not knowing if it will come
or if my god exists
in the skys above

take me now oh might one!
take my pain from where it lays
and set me free to heavens gates

oh is it the devil that calls my name
the one that stops me from my love
and waits for me to join his group
of hate and sorrow roaming souls

I like your meter, and the way that you alternated the length of your line from stanza to stanza.  That gave a really neat effect of varying flow, which added a lot to the poem.  In particular, your last stanza impressed me... you did quite a good job of writing this.  I'm in love with your last line.

Hope to see you posting a lot more in Dark Poetry.
