[hometext] => Re-post (2001) Written during my time of deep depression. Alot of it represents my fears, how overwhelming my problems became etc.
[bodytext] => As the sun sets, the darkness falls
like a blanket, it seems to cover all what was once so very clear now leaves me feeling insecure wondering what is hidden beneath the darkness as it falls I switch off my light, it's time to sleep I pull my bed covers over me steadily, my heart begins to beat faster and faster as fear consumes me the darkness seems to be darker still animated by my mind's eye Representing all the dark things in my life fear, pain, hatred and so much more all represented by what appears to be figures created by the darkness I see long, thin figures with long, thin fingers I close my eyes hoping they will disappear but instead, I can feel them as they draw near Closer and closer they come until eventually they merge into one one large figure that I can't see past Like a predator, it hovers above whilst I lay silent and helpless and become the prey of the darkness Its long fingers reach out to me as I close my eyes so very tight The darkness grabs me, hugging me until I can no longer breathe forcing me to switch on the light so the darkness retreats into the night Until the next time I switch off my light There's no escaping the darkness at night there's no escaping the darkness of life it draws closer as each night falls surrounding my bed as I try to sleep The figures, they do not speak to me they simply over-power me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
