Image for the poem Loosing The Light

Loosing The Light

Cracks in the armor start to appear
How long before they figure it out?
Surely someone will sense the fear
That lingers behind this self-doubt

Falling fast into this desperate abyss
When was the last time it was silent?
The punchline was a swing and a miss
As a spectator quickly became violent

Flaming tongues searing paper flesh
How long till this soul bares the mark?
These lies are old but the pain is fresh
Loosing the light only leaves the dark

Author's Note
Late night musing. Life's a battle of learning to protect the light, while being influenced by the dark. Then again what do I know. I'm just a humble poet. Appreciate you.

" The program for this evening is not new
You've seen this entertainment through and through
You've seen your birth your life your death
You might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?

- Jim Morrison
