Oath To: Daughter Darkness Poem by Lissette J. Garcia

Oh Darkness, dulcet darling,
our bonds
yearn mending weave.
Fate's trail
is laced with sorrow.
Life's bliss we must retrieve.

Let variances not steer us,
nor heedless goals,
succeed.
In writer's realm,
you're Darkness,
my firstborn progeny.

Your perils are my frailties,
thus conquered trials,
my glees.
Womb's dove,
my daughter darkness,
a poet dwells in thee.

Reveal your worth
through writing.
Rare seed, received at birth.
Unleash that talent hiding;
Be freed,
from doubt that lurks.
