THE DEMONS

Into the darkness rides the crusader
Dressed for battle, Ready to fight.

The demons wait
In the darkness they gather
Needing no weapons to fight
They are themselves invincible.

Though a battle may be won
The war is all eternal
Without the demons we are empty
Through them we find completion
Demons are what make us whole

Give me my demons
Let me enjoy the venom
Through them my soul rises
To conquer all that oppose me.



 Without darkness there is no light
Without the light we cannot see the dark
Balance...It heals the soul -- by: LB

Another great one Lady B...and your poem and signature verse go perfectly together.
nice work..take care, janet marie

 Now for me some words come easy...
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you--
I don't know what you loved in me...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be...
How long have I been sleeping-
How long have I been drifting alone through the night...
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right...
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...
Jackson Browne

Well Said, Demons are apart of the other half of the perfect sphere.  Loved this one

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

It was said once "Don't take away my Pain it makes me who I am"
Me to.
This is a good ballance

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
