Psst...Come (darkness is not always evil)
by Rommel CruzPsst...
Come... I'm here in the dark.
Waiting.
Lurking.
Come, hold my hand
Feel its warmth.
Its numbness.
Brush away your worries.
Feel what's it like to be free.
Come, open your mind
To the realities of life;
To the complexities of man.
Come, don't to be ashamed
Don't be a fool.
Don't be deceived.
Darkness is not always evil.
And the light is not always a blessing.
Come....

| Posted by Quinn Vokes on 12/05/02 at 02:51 AM Wow! This is so amazing. I agree with Kerilynn - very seductive. I feel like I'm being hypnotized, like I'm being drawn towards this poem. I noticed the last two lines of this poem in your bio and wondered where they came from... |

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 08/04/03 at 03:30 PM Great plea and invitation. Excellent word choice and theme. I've always believed that healing takes place in the night. Thanks for posting this one. |

| Posted by Jeanne Marie Hoffman on 12/03/03 at 09:38 PM I like how this turns around and sees darkness as sometimes good, despite how it is depicted in most poetry. (However, it will not convince me to stop being afraid fo the dark!) |
