Dark Lover

Dark Lover Sleep so deep it never ends embrace me Wrap me in your dark arms give me your lovers kiss Remove me from this house of distorted images Please let me sink deep into your softness There will be no one left to disappoint not even myself I wonder will you keep your promises? Are you to be my inevitable companion? Does my path ultimately lead to your boudoir? I fear that you will also betray me if I consummate our unholy union Will I be delivered to the gates of hell? I am seduced by you the one who masquerades as my lover. You sing to me from your rocky shore, beckoning with your Siren song. Still somehow, I am held back God’s light floods the darkness. I become immune to your allure. So I turn my face towards the sun, feeling it’s warmth as it floods my soul. My strength is renewed. Laughter bubbles up from a place long forgotten. My instinctive desire to disappear fades. Listen to my voice singing… Feel the joy of my discovery. Yesterday is not today. I am still me and yet I am far from the same. I now wish to reside in the light. You Dark entity have lost your power to seduce me. I now know, we were never meant to be lovers.

Coming back to check on you and see if you have something new to share. I haven't written in a long time. Let's challenge each other to get back into the writing grove. Sending warm hugs.

Wow, Richard! This is such a great poem...it really grabs the reader and sets him/her straight in the path of light with you. But, you know we aren't all as strong as you...or maybe it just takes some people longer. I hope so.

I've had those times when sleep is the only place I wish to go for comfort, endless comfort, suspect more wait in future days. This is excellent work in my view, you captured it, along with the disconcerting feel of it. A praiseworthy write to me, so I'm a praisin'. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

It takes a real man to turn his face toward the sun and let God flood his soul. Darkness has no power over you.

I'm glad you shared this, Rick. Many have been seduced and have succumbed. What a powerful write. I'm glad you saw the light.

Well written turn in the poem that sheds the dark..sees the light. I thought dark lover might win..but you rescued real love from its jaws. Well done, Richard.
