Soul of the Night

Have I looked upon the darkest hour 
Cluelessly cleansing, experience dire 
Renewed regret, taste of the flower

Cunning clever concoctions, now sour 
Triggering a transformation by fire
Have I looked upon the darkest hour

With witty wings I flew, now I cower 
Restless reasoning, ready to inquire
Renewed regret, taste of the flower

Tantalizing temptation takes power 
Honestly only one thing that I desire 
Have I looked upon my darkest hour

Written rhythm and rhyme I scour 
Savvy sayings of saints, I don't tire 
Renewed regret, taste of the flower

A blundering bluntness as I devour 
Wicked witchcraft have I called sire 
Have I looked upon the darkest hour
Renewed regret, taste of the flower

Hello Wayland,your poem is very nice but first it took me drifting into my own darkness.., enjoyed the floating, and finally "dark light" again? I wish there was another word to substitute my real thoughts on this poem., but you're the one expressing your emotions, and fire through the pen. this is where the dark meets the light... enjoyed~ LINDA
