It always seems There is someone Pulling me down Into the darkness. I try to stretch My wounded wings. To fly to the light. Suddenly, An attack on A weary spirit. Nothing is good. Nothing is right. As much a tone, As the words. Scolded as if a child. I fall, swirling Into a bottomless void. The darkness Embraces me, Like a long, Lost lover. Squeezing, Strangling, The very life From my Bruised form. |

Sven....I know the darkness is depanding, that is why I fight it off so much. I perfer the light. I have been trying to write something for Dark for a while now (Because my sister Isis moderates here). I finally finished one...lol. I have had one line written or a stanza. lostboy.....Thankyou very much and yes my first completed attempt. Isis...my Sister! Your compliments mean much. Tis very difficult for me to write such gloomy pieces. |

If it was your first completed atempt, it was very good. AND.... How great to share such wonderful poetry between you two, Isis and Marilyn. What a gift to have in the family. ------------------ JOY -Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first. -Mark Twain |

Darkness is not depressing as many would find it It is a release All aggression can be released all your hate and anger focused and expressed through poems (check a few of mine they can be quite horrific and i don't consider myself to be that strange) ------------------ Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |

Beautifully written Darkness Marilyn! I enjoyed it very much Jennifer ------------------ Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |
