Darkness

By Foreverlost28

The smoldering fire
Burns Through Your Soul
It Caresses your ashes
It Deepens the hole

And deep inside it
A storm of black appear
Its nothing you can touch
There is nothing to hear

It overtakes your body
Pounding in your head
Brutally murdering
Your blood being shed

There is no light to reach for
There is no help to come
There is nothing to hold onto
There is no where to run

It begins to swallow you
Clearing up this mess
And that is what it feels like
To enter the DARKNESS

    An english teacher once warned me that writing in a rhymed and cadenced format could be tricky because of the tendency to throw in extraneous words, just to please the ear with the continuity of the rhythm. He reminded me of Mark Twain's famous quip that the difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug. Your words are ALL right words. This is a terrific piece and a testament to the fact that non free-verse poetry isn't a dying art. Bravo!!!
