Darkness Does Hold Light

Rating: 5.0


I wrapped her in soul,
And absorbed in whole
For, I’m incomplete without her;
She heard my inner call,
But found around tall wall
And count days in helpless stir.

We’re caught in same fire,
Burning alive in same pyre,
But, alas, find in opposite far poles;
We’re all for each other,
But mortally we do wither
Without in sight our sweet goals.

I did my bit to reach her,
But no signals reach there,
And I do find her in total collapse;
She, alas, is in deep fear,
She allows none her near,
Torn, to slow death, she does relapse.

I bother not it heaven or hell,
As far as together we mell,
But, alas, nothing worked as we thought;
With shattered, broken will,
Despair’s deep gulf we fill
And fade away to naught nature wrought.

Yet darkness does hold light,
All in the end will be bright,
For, I find us both locked together there;
In the womb of all out fight,
In the grief of rising height,
We find us in embrace in grief’s fare.
