Notes About The Poem

Queen of Darkness

She was like the midnight sky On the coldest winter night Not even one star in sight Her eyes afraid of moonlight. I placed a rainbow in her heart But her eyes only saw darkness Instead of vibrant fresh colours Her soul bled black drops of pain.

Her soul always bleeds, that is what she's known for. Nice one!

Powerful poetry, SO. No ambiguity versed in this visceral ink. I agree w/Ms. Sikorski ... you are a master of mood enhanced poetry. Love and peace forever.

I love the somber mood of this piece ! The only color WE see ,....the rainbow. But for this soul, no light, no color, only darkness. Smiles ! Kim Sikorski

Never ask how a person got to be that way. Life will give you a living example of how things come to be. A precious heart covered in compressed despair. The only star she knows shines in your eyes so keep the light on for her.

Sometimes the dark is the safest for others. They crash and burn with the light! Darkly beautiful little poem, twinny :)

Darkness comes in many forms, none more frightening than when it comes from within

When darkness has settled in, it can be difficult for any light to shine through. Sad indeed. ~ Brandy
