Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Darkness Within

The morning sun does bring the night.
The darkest light my passage rite.
My soul is tired from minds true shame.
The dark reclaims with one to blame.

A life of toil and repressed thought.
Until the end true peace is sought.
The demon spawned and left to dwell.
The pain from past begins to swell.

The end I seek with more to come.
The bitter bite does leave me numb.
I fight my battle now every day.
I look for peace to come and stay.
