The Darkness Of My Soul

Published by lion1978 in the blog lion1978's Blog. Views: 1884

Deep within the darknes of my soul is a hunger,
a hunger wanting to escape the prison of self,
longing to cast away the shakels of captivety,
awaiting to set my spirit free.

within me is will to escape the life I live when I am awake.
I know the light is there and I catch a glimpse of it every now and then.
I fight to to be released, I want my freedom like never before.

I close my eyes, and dream for a while,
I feel the power of enlightment shine through me,
and I know the time is here,
I know my time has come.

Finally I am free

    The last part about enlightenment didn't seem consistent with the rest of the poem. It sounds like you want to know less, not more.

    "Within me is will to escape the life I live when I am awake."

     

    I really like that line. Few typos, but I think this short poem is great. Powerful, too.

    Lots of energy looking to go somewhere... Looking for an exit, or a place to connect perhaps.

     

    Forgive me for linking a vid here, but reading this reminded me of this song:

    thank you for the kind words.

    Yeah the typos, I'm not native engrish speaker, and for some reason I don't bother to do spell check though I probably should :-)

    you nailed it with the exit and the place to connect, both things was what I intended, when writing it.

     

    You are forgiven for the vid, it's actually a great song

    Out of the darkness shall thy come, Into the light shall thy walk without being numb...Wonderful poem you wrote. This was the thought it gave me. Very moving.
