Someone recently began to tire of my dark poems and asked me to write something happy. I've been in a good mood so I thought I would take a moment like this to write one. To whom it may concern, I hope you like it. (This is as happy as I Get.)


I
walk in
the darkness
as dawn draws near.
The grinning full moon
winks a sweet laughing tear,
and the soft gentle breeze wisps
chilled kisses, through your silken hair.
As, with blithesome heart, I glimpse the sun,
it's the light that beams from your smile so fare.

James, beautifully penned, and I am loving it 7 and thanks for visiting (and write where your muse takes you not where someone else wants you to go)~

BW, thank you. I wrote this in hope of bringing a smile to someone's face. I'm having difficulty writing as of late. It's nice to have something to help me motivate myself.

A beautifully penned etheree James - I especially love the imagery of the moon. I write at the whim of my muse - have no control over what comes out - continue to write dark poems is that is where you muse takes you - I can write humour at the drop of a hat no matter what is going on in my life - can write happy or sad but my muse is the boss lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Actually, Jan, I would like to think many of my poems are more "ethereal" in nature than dark (although many are), some passionate, some romantic. The few poems I have, about 150 now, are pretty diverse I think in form, style and subject, but I will always be drawn back to the DARK SIDE, HAHahahaaaaaa (insert deep sinister laugh here).
