Darkness

The darkness shrouds me
It's loving embrace
Holds me in place
Here, I feel free

It comes to surround me
An emotionless state
Here, I create
Balance eternity

Darkness brings liberty
Dries tears from face
A pitstop in the race
Displaces or maintains sanity

Dispose of tragedy
To quickly replace
Clean slate, erased
Darkness sets me free

Gabriel, I have done a couple of enclosed rhymes, and they do not readilly enter my dendrites as "doable". You have made this feel so natural, I wonder if you had any trouble at all? A nice enclosed rhyme, my friend. It makes darkness feel like a friend.

Thanks Caren! I appreciate the compliment. To answer your question, I decided actually for this to be my first experience with enclosed rhyme poetry. It seemed to come so naturally but there was definite thought involved. I was feeling the topic and I believe that is what allowed for such flow.
