Revelation Or Implantation

Like the speed of light a revelation
came; knowledge entered portals of the brain 
Then the thoughts disappeared what deflation 
A seed planted with light wisdom a gain

Darkness a seed of Satan's devices
Slipped into the brain's portals quietly
When darkness floats in, sits, all pay the price
The body, soul, and spirit dies nightly

An implantation of evil that grows
A darkness that spreads with thick evil wings
The web spreading out 'til emotions enclose
Blackness covers the brain, heart, feelings

At the speed of light, wisdom opens doors
Darkness settles into a being's stores

Should we recall all what crosses our minds, we would be greatest of all creation. I often suffer the same problem. At times, I wake up at night to jot down notes in case the inspiration disappears with the dawn!! Friend, JM

Yes, I seem to do that myself...the old er I get the worse it is! I forget things, but it isn't anything severe, not yet anyway! My grandparents got pretty bad but never had Alzheimer's , they were tested, they just forgot things because of old age. Just a little worse than normal.I would like to read the rest of this poem, maybe I am way off about this memory lapse in your poem. Let me know when you finish this I would like to read the completed piece! Great Work!!
