Dark Corners in My Closet

By mysticventures

Dark corners in my closet
are where I like to hide
The things that are most dear to me
away from prying eyes

Dark corners in my closet
are where I keep my dreams
Perverted thoughts and fantasies
or so to some it seems

Dark corners in my closet
are where I hide my fears
From society's moral standards
they've been piling up for years

Dark corners in my closet
are where I like to play
The games that just are not allowed
no chance, no how, no way

Dark corners in my closet
are where I feel at home
With thoughts and verse, rythm and rhyme
never am I alone

Dark corners in my closet
is where I guess I'll stay
Until the world lighten's up a bit
and I am free to go my way

    The dark corners are a favorite place for many of us, I'm sure. The trick is to enjoy both the dark corners and the light places... there is beauty in both... and while most people ignore the beauty of darkness, most people here ignore the beauty in light

  • A former member wrote: Here in vampire's comment lies why I adore these works so much. The tint of sorrow is present, the attack of imagery is heavy to the point of suffocation, but the LIGHT! ah the light . . . it everpresent

  • A former member wrote: "Until the world lighten's up a bit " i like the casualness of that line - just telling the world to lighten up! Good work. ~ Psychotic

  • A former member wrote: Well, Sir Mystic, it I am very delighted to say that I enjoyed this quite a bit. You're rhyme scheme flows very nicely, it does not sound cheesy. Well done, my friend. =-MO-=

  • A former member wrote: This piece has a bit of a bounce to it, despite it's subject matter. I like that fact. Nicely done.
