shh..do not wake darkness
let it sleep in the arms of night
the raven casts shadows
the raven casts shadows
understanding sorrow
slipping next to him
whispering endearments
seeking comfort in his arms
only he can bring release
seeking comfort in his arms
only he can bring release
shh..do not wake darkness
let us reach for our dream
searching hidden places
arousing secret
desires
discovering mysteries
undercover two souls mesh
revealing their identity
in morning sunlight
revealing their identity
in morning sunlight
written for the Mag 258
I do like the path you took in this poem. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks Gail, an interesting prompt.
Deletewhat an interesting thought...waking darkness...the raven is the harbringer of secrets...bringing what is concealed to light...like the sun there in the end...so perhaps the dawn is coming when all will be made known...
ReplyDeleteWell, darkness comes in many forms..the raven is indeed a harbinger of mystery and secrets, it is said they bring news of future events.
DeleteIt can never surpass such an ecstasy! Happens only to those with good intentions
ReplyDeleteHank
That is true hank..one must ask what is the intention?
DeleteWonderful poem of exquisite beauty, awakening secret desires ... ... beautiful feeling!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading..I just adore your artwork.
DeleteThere are things only darkness and dreams can reveal.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true Alex we live in a world of light and dark.
DeleteMuch can be hidden away in the darkness that comes do. The night can bring forth a light all its own.
ReplyDeleteIt is with hope in the heart that light will prevail.
DeleteIt is cool the way you gave darkness an identity....it reminds me a bit of "Meet Joe Black", but more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, that is an interesting comment. I just watched that movie not too long ago as I couldn't sleep.
DeleteThat is an intriguing idea, that darkness can be awakened and is best left sleeping.......and I love your closing lines.
ReplyDeleteShh..wake not the darkness as I am not sure how it will turn out.
DeleteBeautifully done...
ReplyDeleteThanks Berowne..I will have to come see what the quiz is for the week.
DeleteThe imagery of sleeping darkness is wonderful

DeleteDarkness & silence have so many mysteries.
ReplyDeleteLight unravels...
Very true!
That is very true without darkness we would not know light..
DeleteShh... I love it! "do not wake darkness" ! It is powerful to me!
ReplyDeleteThank you..reminds me of the saying don't wake sleeping giants.
DeleteOh how mornings have a way of revealing so much!
ReplyDeleteha - that could be true..
DeleteHere's hoping morning light didn't smother that undercovers' passion!
ReplyDeleteAh, perhaps, the morning light will stir more passion. One never knows.
DeleteI like the notion of darkness sleeping...
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess and for the interesting prompt
