In darkest corners of the deep
Where fallen angels wail and weep
Beyond the echoes of their screams
This is the birthplace of my dreams
In secret halls where terror reigns
With hellish cries and searing pains
Conceptions spark gives life to fear
And I alone am cursed to hear
In darkest corners of my mind
Where living chains of demons bind
Like shackles to the walls of hell
I lie a captive to their spell
In restless nights upon my bed
Their voices raging in my head
As horror taints nocturnal peace
With scenes of doom that never cease....
Oh will I ever find my rest
Before this heart stills in my chest
Or am I damned to feel the flame
Of past regret and future shame
On trembling knees I fall to pray
To take tormenting dreams away
And help my soul to see the light
In darkest corners of the night

Well, it's perfectly crafted, of course... but that certainly is not the first thing I noticed and, honestly, it feels a bit ridiculous to even comment to that end.
This echoes through me. I feel a bit foolish as well for even suggesting as much... but, I find it hugely relatable. (I truly don't wish to imply that it is so common a write - or an experience - that it would be easily relatable to all. It's... bigger than that.) I, too, have fallen (fall often) to the night's demons. No matter our ability to pull ourselves through each day, our strength and ability to hold it together, so to speak, often wanes when the sun falls down, I believe. Perhaps the presence of another may drive off the demons... I cannot say for certain any longer. What I do know is this... those that spend nights alone, know those demons well. I recognized them in your last post (so much so, I must confess, that I couldn't even comment on the piece).
This, Larry, is extraordinary and potent and more moving than I can possibly express. It leaves me aching.... deeply. I'd be inclined to say something optomistic and hopeful normally... but this time, I think I'll just leave it with a quiet, somewhat timid.... "I believe I... understand."

I am breathless.. this is so real and heartfelt. It is hard to read because it is so real..so filled with pain and inner turmoil. It causes my own heart to ache for you. But never mind all that;
It is flawless as usual as to form.. You are the perfect poet I think. Makes me wish I could get in to your dreams and shoo out the demons, or wrap you in my arms like a little boy and say "everything's alright." Now I'm crying so I'll just shut up. |

| Larry, This piece made me shudder. I think about nights that seem to last forever, when you're hoping, wishing for the light of day. Seems more than a few of us deal with the demons that seem to haunt, when all is quiet. Peace my friend, Laura |

This is a very potent and moving write. I think I can relate to demons. I have certainly felt tormented at different times in my life. In one of my poems I focused on a place in the mind beyond where the demons sleep; and that was where piece of mind and the soul reside. May you discover your piece of mind inside.
Very well done sir

| There is that time in the very early morning when sleep is far away and thoughts and emotions run high, even more so than they ever do in the light of day, when the demons seem to be in control and there is nothing we can do but suffer...a terrible time, yet sometimes I wonder if it doesn't make us a better person in the day....sometimes. |

Larry this was excruciatingly powerful and dramatic. It hit me like a ton of bricks! I don't
even think I can muster a concrete thought on why or just how this seared my soul. But
I know of this sort of nightmare. Intimately. I wish there were some untold remedy that
could bring serenity to those afflicted. Although, having said that, I think it is good to fight
off the demons without aid. It makes the times when they are absent SO much more
pleasant and welcome. In any case, your write is haunting. And even though, I know this is
intensely and personally frustrating and sad . . . I think it is stirringly beautiful - even in it's misery.
Well done, Larry, as always.

| This is my favourite kind of poetry. The deep dark mentations which twist the soul. There is a darkness here, a darker tale and yet a skillful hand at work. For the lines speaks of words, arrangement and dedicated complication. It is not simple, convulated but I like this kind of poetry for it depicts the wretchedness of the soul in suffering. Maybe because of my dark moods lately but I guess in a way this is also what I am like within. A soul enduring torture. I really do favour the imagery, structure and style. But as is my hope for me I do hope that the protaganist's soul will "see the light" one day..literally or with his hearts of hearts. |

The darkest corners always haunt. They lay in the shadows of the mind ready to devour your thoughts.
A deep magnificent write
