Black Sunshine

Dawn rises, and the Sun is Grey, again : One can hear the tears flowing. The nakedness of the mighty Oak : Withers : In the shadow of “ LIFE “ I watch “Mother Nature” cry Tears of pain : in the West wind blowing I catch those tears of Pain: For My Beloved “ LENORE “ My “ WIFE “ In the darkness after Dawn ; in the Ebony of the Moonlight : I still Live Sullenly, I reminisce of the LIGHT of the Past ; When I still had a Heart As the Shadow of Death , follows me into an abyss, where only Death can Survive I think of Winters gone by, before the History of Forever : was torn Apart Through the Corridors of unknown Sanity :my eyes cry tears of Empathy, Dead There is no morning Dew, on flowers wilted in a new Life of nonexistence In the Gloomy Mist of time forgotten I stare at Heaven from my Eternal bed Hewn from a tree standing alone in a Forest , of Humanities nonexistence Blinded my the Aura of death I seek a rebirth of Light in me to shine in my eye Will I ever Know : as I once Knew " LOVE " ~ before I Die ~ Inspired by the Contest : " Dark Prose " Sponsored by " Catie Lindsey " Dedicated to my Lost LOVE "Lenore" ; My LOVE Anew EVERLASTING " Barbara Jean "

Hello dear poet ! I'm not up on too many forms, lol, most of the time I do not even look at the forms when reading a poets writes, unless I can clearly see it is casted as a particular form,(Haiku,ect.) So far, this write seems prose poetry to me, as the form stands. Please send me a lil' sump'n sump'n when you complete, so I may have my fill of this, already fantastic write ! much love, james

"when I still had a heart" I love that line, this poem is so touching and yes, I would say dark in its deep sorrow, best of luck in the contest~~

The contest rules state some rhyme is acceptable in the entries, HG. I would consider this prose poetry and think you should enter it. I posted my entry today and it reads more like a frightening story, but there is some rhyme. This is very touching, HG. Thanks for your email. I've been having a rough time lately and it was kind of you to write. Love, Carolyn

Sad poem HG.. I think I understand now. I dont know about the form either..I think prose is supp to read like a story..but then, other sources say there can be rhyme in it. Dont worry about it..just enter it anyway. BG
