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.
