I stand on the verge
Between shadow and light
The Light i see
Merely blinds me
And into shadows I retreat
The shadows there
Welcome me
And with the darkness
I come to be

Short and concise, but well written. That's hard to do.. and you did well here.

I understand what you mean here... it's so easy just to go back in the dark, but the light is much more beautiful, eh?
Wonderful work. I enjoyed this piece, and look forward to more.

Wow, you've pretty much summed up my whole life.

The darkness is your home, but there's a piece of you that weeps for the precious light. Correct? *nods* You've certainly written this well because you were able to portray this state of mind in way that is honest, deep, and clear. Thank you for posting this poem. I enjoyed reading and connecting with it.

Dark Enchantress - Like you said, yes, but at the time I wrote it I was rather depressed and felt more that the light was unwelcoming -- "blinding" --, light being of course the a medaphore for happiness and whatnot. And that it was so much easier to dwell with my long-time friend the darkness, or my uncaring moods. And thank you for your reply, it's for people to appreciate that I truly enjoy writing poetry.
