About This Poem

Dark Lover

Sleep so deep it never ends
Envelope me
Wrap me in your dark arms
Give me your lovers kiss
Remove me from this house of distorted images
Let me sink into your softness
No one left to dissapoint
Not even myself
Will you keep your promises?
Are you my enevitable companion?
Do my paths lead to your boudoire?
Will you betray me?
Will I be brought to the gates of hell
by one who masquerades as my lover?
I hold on for a while longer
Allowing myself to be lifted
Seeking light instead
Feeling it's warmth on my face
Renewed strength
Laughter bubbling from a place long forgotten
Desire to disappear fading
Singing 
Yesterday is not today
I am still me and yet I am far from the same
I now wish to stay in the light
You no longer seduce me
We were never meant to be lovers

    One can be one self but still not be that one you use to be, it's like been trapped but you are still that same person in the outside. but in your inside you have change, this is me. I feel the same in the outside but inside I am a different person. Very nice poem?

    oh wow, the beginning of this reminds me of one I wrote long ago where I compared the dark lover to sleep! Love this one.

    A deep, pensive offering... quite different for you, Richard! Creatively shows a more reflective side... well presented in your always well written poetic style. I'm impressed, Mr. West Coast Richard! BTW check my post first thing tomorrow... will be posting one called, "West Coast Richard"...

    It was in my youth but not now. At that time the thought of ending things seemed alluring. That is now a long time ago, thank God.

    A well written verse. The ins and outs in a relationship, and a people changing!

    Richard this takes the reader on a journey hope which ultimately leads to despair...just life ....David

    I see it more as a journey to fullness contrasted with the earlier darkness.

    wow...deep piece...i see darkness as death and the light as life! Awesome poem!
