Prince

We would ride on steeds of metal
down the dirt trails
towards the farm
where we would feed the horses
play with the chickens
and run after deer with a golf ball.
We’d bike all around
and sprint away from the big pit bull
that the little girl set off after us.
And then we’d find ourselves in the field
Alone
You on top of me
Hands lingering
touching everywhere
causing my skin to tingle in delight.
Lips pressed against each other’s
Then your’s move to my neck
we lay there
in the grass
breaths intertwined.
Movies at night
laying on the couch.
Adventures to the mall
eating Cinnabon and trying on hats.
Then me laying on your lap
your touch warm against my ever cold skin.
Those were the days of light.

But then the darkness came.

I have meant that you have used two lines "Those were the days of light" and "But then the darkness came"(one following the other)set in opposition in order to emphasize differences stimulating the poetic mood and ensuring a sudden dramatic effect. These lines have set the tune for your poem and made your poem successful. love.

Could you please expand on what you mean by that? I'm new on here so I don't know much of the shorthand.
