A Jaded Soul's Redemption

Forlorn innocent, Darkness engulfed. Bolder it grew, emotions it quelled. Darkness ruled him, casualties it amassed. Amidst the agony, benevolent souls befriended. Light’s genesis, faint emotions it rekindled. Yet Light by its lonesome stood frailly. An enchanting partner it awaits longingly. Alluring in sight, vehement in presence. A celestial Shine, with then Darkness yields. Will thou empower the Light and be my celestial Shine?

Shawn T, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
