[hometext] => the battle between night and day, sunlight and darkness, and I guess good and evil, you'll like this one
[bodytext] =>  Darkness Ebbs The black of night pressing evenly against the window’s glass Shudders and cringes against the onslaught of the dawn The ugliness and beauty of the darkness sheds a bitter tear For nighttime knows that as the earth turns, it will soon be gone Like a photograph fading with the destroyer called time So fades the inky blackness from which nighttime draws its fame Just as the petals of the perfect rose eventually shrivel and die Thus it is with the night, as it sulks back to the murky depths from whence it came A faint laughter is heard on the horizon. The evil sun comes. Slowly warming, drying, shriveling, burning, killing the life that it once gave The bloody battle rages. The sun’s hot sword cuts into night’s heart. The darkness falls back, receding, slowly losing, returning to its grave The darkness all but gone, dew dries, moisture rises The evil green life sucks the suns unknowing gift, growing stronger Soulless birds in the air, feeding on the unsuspecting creatures beneath Sunshine beats down mercilessly, knowing its reign won’t last much longer The morbid heat of noon passes, shadows grow tall Darkness twitches in its sleep, dreaming of the battle lost Try as it might, the heat of the sun ebbs as the land starts to cool The fight is not over, the sun strains to win at all cost Power weakening, the sun slumps and slouches toward the horizon Fearfully sensing darkness awaken, opening its cold black eyes Once again the battle erupts, the darkness, strong, the light growing weak Nighttime leaps up and engulfs the land again and darkness once more rules the skies. © 2009 Decahedron [comments] => 3 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 40 [informant] => Decahedron [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fantasy )

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. ©
