'twas some time ago in my childhood,
I've never outgrown it until
I was in my teens,
often a scream is heard
my breath constricted
whenever I see the darkness.
I sleep with a flicker
from a lamp which become my lifeline
in the dark.
years passed I overcame it all
I decided I am free at last,
but it formed into another face
it all started in a dream.
it was Death himself menacing in his stance,
just to utter his name sends a chill to my veins,
what's in Death that I'm afraid of?
he is like a dark bottomless pit,
somehow we'll all get there
he's just biding his time.
still I desire the Light,
let him wait a while,
I am cloaked in safety
I will light my lamp.
Hey Serene I recently listed 10 fears and complete darkness is one of them. I enjoyed your writing! V.
death and life are merely brothers... you can't have one without the other! good, honest poem. eric
This is very good poem. It convays a very good point. And it shows that point in a very strong way. It shows your fears. Well very good poem. I like it, keep writing.
I loved this poem! I do not fear death itself, but I do fear how I might die :-)
