Darkness

I sit here in the darkness

Hoping for a dance

Looking to the future

Singing my soul to sleep again!


With Angels to fly

Trying to stay a float

They say I am holding on

And slowly sinking the boat!


I do not want to go outside this night

It’s too cold

For Angels to fly

Saying things are

Going to change

But the emptiness

Just doesn’t understand!

Hi Brooke, nice to know you I especially love the part, "hoping for a dance" and "but the emptiness doesn't understand hinting at metaphors'. Great poem, my compliments!

I enjoyed this poem of yours. One little part reminded me of that song on the radio about angels! The imagery of sinking the boat was cool!
