Into the Black

For me burning daylight invites me to the black It's not that I don't like daylight, for I'll never lack If I'm ever to prowl whether it's amidst the dark, light It's being the cleverest, within either I'm out of sight Have you ever walked behind someone oh so quiet Can you simply imagine, their strolling quiet riot To even stand beside, in an Otis lift, we're alone We in burning daylight, whom does whom belong Sitting in a restaurant, all alone with no chaperon Whether it's burning daylight, who does who own For me burning daylight invites me to the black To venture into the black, then I'll soon relax

Your words cling to the reality that has been brought to your existence with a firm grip, pulling the reader into the dark. Emile.

huge James, love the use of oxymorons here.. the twin phrases of who and who plus the use of rhymes... cleverly done making lines deep and intriguing but powerful in a way.. A good take on the theme.. :) ((hugs)~olive eloisa

A slight detour back to my Dark writing Olive. Many of my Dark poems lead back to the Light. I kinda like writing such, hugs always Oliz // James xx

Hi Nette, this is purely about good and evil, dark & light. I love writing Dark Poetry, and this one leaves me in the Dark. Blessed day ahead to you, smiles, James :)
