Notes About The Poem

Darkness

Darkness

Under the stars lies forgiveness
Rotten roots and falling peaces
I want to be the rose
Wasted again
Heart and pulse, nothing to lose
You are there Raven
Only 
Because I was waking up
I am the rain
I do it for you
Spilling my ink
Me on the inside
Walking away, yet bound to you
You own me
That’s why I love, Oh I miss you
Beautiful scars and little wishes
Do you wanna know, as damaged as you are
There is no good in goodbye
Ride this train where rumors whispered
Whiskey flowers and fields of gold
I am nothing now
Blindfolded
In the depths of death
A writer’s grave


Note: This is based on something I will leave people to guess for now!

Hint: I composed the poem yet I did not write the words to the poem.

Answer: All the lines and the title of the poem are from the Titles of Casarah Nance's poems!!!!

Alexis Y. September 7, 2016 at 2:01 PM Hi Arthur, Now your hints makes sense.When stated you composed this poem, And didn't write this poem. I thought to myself Hunh? Only you would do something as amazing and creative as this:-) Alexis

Paul Callus September 6, 2016 at 10:35 AM It is not important that we manage to understand all that lies within the poet's mind; what I know for sure is that I am captivated by the dark mist that envelopes these lines...like a certain poet wrote: "Death comes by night to sing". ~ Regards // paul

Andrea Dietrich September 5, 2016 at 8:57 PM Gosh, I don't even know what your last line means, That you composed this but did not write it. How will I figure out anything else? All I know is THIS: This is a great poem because the imagery is outstanding. It just feels like a really cool poem to me. It is one of your best, Arthur, and I don't even care if I know its full meaning! (by the way, does Casarah have something to do with all this. i just read your big hint down by her comment. As usual, I did not get it. hahaha0

Francis J Grasso September 5, 2016 at 1:11 PM To me this poem speaks of Christ's crucifixion and his longing to save mankind from their own ignorance. Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:38 PM Very good guess Francis, I love when a poem carries many meanings to many people! Thank you for your kind words!

Robert Lindley September 5, 2016 at 11:56 AM Edgar Allen Poe was engaged to Sarah Elmira Royster at age 18, but her father did not approve of their relationship and broke it off . Could that be the lost love? The Annabel Lee? Simply stunning poem my friend.... Depth and imagery flavor deeply the mystery! OR IS IT --LOST YOUTH--THE LOVE OF PROMISES YET TO COME? Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:36 PM Ah very good indeed!!! Poe and the Raven do fit into this, and it may turn out that your answer is correct, although there is a twist to this! :)

Tim Smith September 5, 2016 at 10:25 AM What keeps back into my mind is books. The owning me got me thinking. Maybe computer or phone but maybe books. Knowing you I am most likely off base. Tim Smith September 5, 2016 at 8:15 PM Usually I look away : ) Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:35 PM As I told Jan to look above, I shall tell you to look below! Oh My is poetry a riddle? LOL Tim Smith September 5, 2016 at 10:25 AM Coming back*

Casarah Nance September 5, 2016 at 9:40 AM what name do we put on the admittance form for the institution. ;) Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:34 PM oh my I dont want to go to any Ward!!!!! I will leave another hint here, you are the answer!!!!!!

Jan Allison September 5, 2016 at 3:04 AM Made me sad reading your lines Arthur - made me think of losing my muse but I guess I am way off line with my theory - love your deep dark writes:-) hugs Jan xx Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:33 PM I gave another hint, now just look above you for the answer!!!

Stephen Pennell September 5, 2016 at 2:28 AM There is no good in goodbye , great line giving up writing but needing to come back Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:31 PM Thank you Stephen!!! :)

Charmaine Chircop September 5, 2016 at 1:13 AM I keep seeing Edgar Allen Poe..in this poem..His name on the grave.. A toast in his memory..FlowerS..Love..All gone...Sadness...Yet again a living memory.I left this comment after I read yr blog and read yr poem..But guess Im insane and getting it wrong :) Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:30 PM Well it is dark, that was the theme, and very much inspired by Poe, the idea for this poem was born from writes in his style. Charmaine Chircop September 5, 2016 at 1:30 AM I bet Im wrong and off track ? : ) Charmaine Chircop September 5, 2016 at 1:15 AM Isee darkness too..But I know you re gonna ask..From where did I come to that conclusion? Even I dont l know...: )

Alexis Y. September 5, 2016 at 12:28 AM Hi Arthur, What a deep, dark thought provoking write. I agree with Carole it was sad yet beautiful :-)Alexis Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:29 PM Thank you, although the thanks doesn't belong to me!

Carole Duet September 4, 2016 at 11:57 PM I understand, Arthur. Sometimes we live and die for our love/lover. It's beautiful and yet sad. Wonderful poem. Arthur Vaso September 5, 2016 at 6:27 PM Thank you, even I composed this poem, I did not write this poem!
