Darkness, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

Darkness
Is the color of loss
The emptiness void
Knowing of time lost
You cant rewind the clock

Darkness
Is the forest
Under shadows in the night
Even a mere rustling leaf
Can give you such a fright

Darkness
Are lips not met
Not saying “I love you”
Living in regret

Darkness
Is the poison
Chalice
Filled with hate

Darkness
Has it’s enemies
That all should
Embrace

Darkness
Cannot defeat
Empathy and compassion
We should want
In every human.
(end)
