Darkness of Sturm Und Drang

Darkness of Sturm und Drang Darkness of Sturm und Drang When you gotta fight with your own fated yarn Dark persuades your shadow Sheds your mortal mass And gore inscribes the merciless nights Sins like gems carved in my chest Crucify me I'll resurrect; soon, sooner! Darkness of Sturm und Drang Erupts like the lava Gushed out to reach the penniless heart Wide on those paddy fields And lunar eclipse ornate the ether Sprog witnesses the colleen in greyed On branches she keeps swinging Haunting the critters at bay He sincerely heeds to her yarn each night And nap in her lap!

Wow, Shahnaz! Are you referring to the music group, Sturm and Drang, with their song "Fear of the Dark?" Or the "sturm and drang" (storm-and-stress period) of emotional turmoil used by G. Stanley Hall to characterize adolescence; or the proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music that occurred between the late 1760s and early 1780s? Whatever, your poem is very dark but resonates with me. Your poem would read well on a dark, moonless and starless night around a campfire. Cheers! ~Mark

Thank you very much Mark Toney! " My poem was about the way one swedges through or with his or her own mayhem within oneself and believe me it is one's very dark vehemence'.
