a shadow soul no more
darkness for a time
came naturally to me
i felt no regret or remorse
i let it spill from deep inside
now i find it forced
as if an outside entity
is shoving it down my throat
when i loose it
it burns my tongue with the telling
i'm left drained
where once i was invigorated
depression & guilt sets in
i want to erase it all
but what's said can't be unsaid
what's freed can't be called back
so i learn a lesson
& move on into the light
where the sun shines on my soul
casting out the shadows
that choke my inner child
who is brand new
learning the language of love
let the hate abate
& return to where once it sprang
it can no longer bite & tear my flesh
torturer of the weak
scavenger of the damned
i walk in shadows no more
no longer will i falter
lose my footing in the night
my path is illuminated
grace lights the way

Eyes in the cave, my beautiful Dark Angel. Where once we took comfort in the darkness, once we move toward the light everything is sensitive. The sun can burn the eyes and the dark can make us uneasy. Standing in between is not an easy place to be with eyes open. And your eyes are definitely open, my lovely one. Such keen observations in this introspective piece. So much love...

I thrilled that your night has lifted and storm clouds parted. I'm still trying to tug free from my own darkness. Your lines invigorate me, give me some hope.

Crim... I love this. You cannot let the darkness get you down. I am glad that you saw hope and the light of day. I could see you walking away from the shadows and darkness. The ending was quite perfect. We can all learn from this. It is quite inspiring.

thank you lovely Eswaller for such a heartfelt & beautiful comment.. I'm afraid it was my fault for connecting with the dark energy it didn't use to affect me.. something has changed & it does now.. I will do my best to connect with the light from now on.. I deeply appreciate your thoughts & visits.. love Crim

"so i learn a lesson
& move on into the light
where the sun shines on my soul
casting out the shadows
that choke my inner child
who is brand new
learning the language of love "
^^^^^^^^^^...this was the meat and potatoes of the poem. Rebirth, reborn.😘
Love it, Crim...

My Beautiful Brenda...I know you have struggled with all which speaks to you...feeling torn and unsure of your direction...the line I loved most was of the lesson learned...one can exist within both realms as long as we understand why they are there for us to begin with...you understand from when and where both dark and light came to you and more importantly, the why. As long as you have this understanding, you can co-exist and each of them will show respect and reward you....I smile so very wide my love...
I love you madly....deeply....always and forever...
With all my love - Taryn xoxo

Brenda.. the beauty of this, is that you embrace the change.. more towards the light, than the dark.. but between the two, is why i think you have so much balance.. you used to write a poem, either light or dark.. but i'm seeing a metamorphosis, a touch of both.. for the greater good of the art, and your being.. if that makes sense.. my sister i'm digging it.. and i'm proud of the journey, you're facing head on.. love you, always my sister..

Crimbear you have stroked the curvature of a deitys smirk, no drift and sleep in the uprise of a celestial simper.
Powerful reflection of self worth. 🌹 Yeah your hypnotic
