About This Poem

Beyond the Darkness

Escape with me, let’s leave this world behind 
Go somewhere far from all the bitter tears
Beyond the place of darkness in my mind

Our search will take us past regret and fears
We’ll hide within serenity’s embrace 
Go somewhere far from all the bitter tears 

Believe with me, that we can find a place
Where no one grieves and only love is shown
We’ll hide within serenity’s embrace

Conceit and selfish pride would be unknown
Humility and peace would be displayed 
Where no one grieves and only love is shown

No longer will we need to be afraid 
We’ll be protected from life's tragedy 
Humility and peace would be displayed 

Imagine living in a place so free
Escape with me, let’s leave this world behind
We’ll be protected from life's tragedy 
Beyond the place of darkness in my mind 

This fantasy 
My utopia 
Will you be there with me?

    This is lovely, Becca. This will only ever be a reality in heaven, but we can dream and work to bring unity and peace in our own spheres. Your working is amazing!

    I seldom write to form. It takes a lot of talent. This one was exceptional. Keep writing.

    My bags are packed. Where do we get on board? But seriously. Sometimes I like to read a poets first entry to see how they have progressed. Your decision to put your words on display has been welcomed with open arms and open minds. This one is certainly a selling point for Utopia. Wish we could all be there. Rockman

    One of my grandparents friends passed away a few years back. He wasn't afraid of dying, but instead afraid of being alone, on the other side, in heaven. And so, quite unexpectedly, his sister died on the same day, who was also old and suffering. For some reason this poem of yours brought this all back to me... especially those last three lines "This fantasy, my utopia, will you be there with me"... on that day that dream came true.

    Wow this is a sweet story, Tim, thank you for sharing this. The fear of being alone is very strong.

    Yes Andrea, I deleted all of my poems at one time, because I couldn't figure out how to delete my account, but Frank befriended me and I stayed, and I'm really glad I did because I'm met so many nice people here! So I'm slowly re-posting some of the poems I had deleted.

    Wish I were there: To hold you...shield you from the flame... of every life's injustice...where they could never find us...cause we'd only have one name. Hey...I too can dream...can't I?
