Falling Into Darkness Poem by Valerie Dohren

Falling Into Darkness

Rating: 4.9


Falling into darkness,
Watch the fading light -
Moving with the shadows,
Drifting through the night.

All the world is silent,
Deep within, entwined -
Memories like phantoms,
Float inside my mind.

Love that once was cherished,
Lost in time and space –
Falling into darkness,
To this empty place.

I have to agree with everything RoseAnn said, except that at first reading I didn't get the 'death' part. I thought it could have meant divorce or separation of some other sort. In any case, a well-written poem. Thank you for sharing with us.

A very intense and eerily haunting poem of lost love through death. A perfect portrayal of the emotions hiding beneath the surface. Excellent poem! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
