The Darkness

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jul 23, 2006


The darkness closes around me this night,
The moon takes over this midnight painting,
He reaches out to distinguish the light,
And takes over as the sun begins fainting.
He beckons gently to the whispering stars,
They giggle softly that they are waiting,
For the lingering sun to part its way,
And they smile as the light gently fades away.

    That's really cute. I usually hate nature poems cause I feel they are not detailed enough or not even really about nature in the end. I liked this one though. You captured wonderful images. :]

    I liked this, especially the second line, that was so original. It was short but it really worked, portraying the images well. The only problem I have is the fourth line seems to be forced rhyme as "begins fainting" doesn't make all that much sense.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice poem:):)...short and sweet and to the point=D
    my favourite lines were:
    "He reaches out to distinguish the light,
    And takes over as the sun begins fainting."
    they had a certain special wording to them:):)
