Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The Darkest Part

Open that door, down so deep within
                     And let only love flood your heart
Just as the glow of the sun and the moon
                               lights yet the darkest part

Living with hate is not living at all
                         It’s simply a parasites’s dream
Once hate is gone and darkness abates
                      Weightless is how life may seem

Tempting it is, with such human flaw
                            To not even give love a start
Only when finding a way to begin
                               lights yet the darkest part
