Darkness,lack of light,
Inspired by evil,
To create fright,
Fight your way through.

Darkness, swirling,
A mysterious fog,
Horrors unfurling,
Thick as smog.

Darkness, to encourage death,
Fight with all your might,
But remember, remember,
Darkness is only the lack of light.

Darkness is only the lack of light...

"darkness is only the lack of light"

Interesting thoughts going on.

I loved the thoughts behind it, but the rhyming was awful. You started off with a brilliant scheme, but then it just fell away. The poem itself jarred my sense of reality, but then it was lost I'm afraid.

Your definition of darkness was cool, otherwise the rhyming is not that much.  I am not so good of a poet myself, but I am trying to be better

I once read something about everything that is just, in reality, the lack of something...

Cold is lack of heat.
Darkness is the lack of light.
Daydreaming is the lack of belief in reality..
that sort of things. *hehe*

Over all, that was a good job

Thanks for the comments. Awful rhyming? Hmmm. I think my "sitting in the corner" is better, though not perfect...

you have the heart, form needs work.  cant wait to see what you post next.

In the blood soaked battle field, lay the bones of countless millions who in the midst of battle stopped to rest, and resting they died.
