hemlock
i. the darkness
evil shadowed my steps
poisoned my thoughts
with black magic
the dark truly ruled
not only the land
but me
living among the hemlock
drinking it's potion
with belief it would heal
a witch who
fell prey to my own spell
casting, chanting & weaving
may the sun no longer shine
on my enemy
it went away for me that day
my magic was strong
but it wasn't pure
ii. the sun
the sun set on my heart long ago
it faded beyond the horizon
never to rise again
the moon rose high in my skies
& governed my days
hemlock grows in abundance
in the graveyard
along side my quiet little house
the trees whisper their despair
branches reach to the heavens
never to touch the light
the moon is dour
cruel to the children of the day
they cry out in mourning
then one day the sun
broke free from its restraints
it rose with triumphant glory
& slew the eternal night

So many vivid visuals you spread here that I feel like I'm walking in your landscape. I love that you're pulling nature into so many of your poems lately. Sink your roots into healthy soil and feel yourself grow, wild and free. Beautiful, my lovely Angel. Much love...

Gorgeous work Crim! I love the Gothic atmosphere and the musings of a witch. And this last stanza is a thrill
then one day the sun
broke free from it's restraints
it rose with triumphant glory
& slew the eternal night
The eternal night is death but you opt for life, my Lady. Glorious indeed...

This is a rather short comment because I may have to log off at any given moment, so without further ado:
I love the contrast between the Sun and Darkness. It's not the fact that you did it because that's been done a thousand times, but the way in which you moved us with your words astonishes me. Really a beautiful couple of pieces. <3

"A witch who fell prey to my own spell"
don't we all - love this and the sun - and with one leap we are free

Such a lovely shade of melancholy, Crim,
very beautiful.
'the trees whisper their despair
branches reach to the heavens
never to touch the light'

My Beautiful Brenda, your last stanza ends on such a comforting note...eternal night doesn't have a chance when the power of one's inner child fights...mourning cries of a child can permeate through anything and yours most certainly did...hemlocks that imprison during the night bring a shaded spot to sit under during the day...
I love you deeply my love!
With all my love - Taryn xoxo
