Keep Me From The Light
Jill Tait's Sunshine challenge

Born on its inception
I curse the seventh day of summer
When candles burnΒ
And I let the cake just melt
To see only ice remain above it
And until the sun
Favours the unfortunate
I will crawl to hide beneath my stone
Where all that was warm is fossilised
As I begin to caress oblivion
Just to envy the lord of the scarabs
Atop the shit pile of the dead
Because I've been to hell
And through its spheres a thousand times
To know that love is empty without fear
I can see it in your eyes

Stunning write Ian, I love your sombre tone and with such power you deliver every time! My new challenge if you're interested is simply, "Fire".
Thanks very much Simon! I will have a chance to write later on.
" SOUNDS, LIKE, YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN !! " Every one, to their own, I suppose. Given the climate, I do not know why it took you so long, to " dive into the soup " and " fight, the dragon " leaving nothing to chance. But, your wits, and nerve, realize the energies to last longer, if, cared for correctly. Within, the " habitat " of " the most hostile environment imaginable " where counter-productive DESIRE or advances by " The Leisure Seeker " thriving on the hidden pleasures, of some thing like life, are embraced...describing " The Dark " !
Removed from the " light " or lighter shades of grey there are CARNAL LUSTS built up over time. Bringing wanton philandering, and suspicious ambition, of the " depraved " and " deprived " mindset. Intent on forcing issues, to affront senses or sensibilities,, based onΒ the " HELLRAISER " as well as " explorer " !! Nice to know you recognize the relevance of HOBBY and probably correlating " HORSES " of apocalypse, or worse !!! :) :)
HAVE FAITH. HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO SEE. 20-20 VISION SHARING " WONDERS " beyond belief. In the " poetic licence " that is LIBERTY.Β :) :) Please, leave me out of, it.
Thank you for stopping by Richard! Your comments are always interesting and insightful.
Wow such a superbly etched piece. the cadence and imagery is outstanding well done!
Thank you very much Poetess! Kind of you to say so.
I'm going through your pages to read poems I have missed (there's always some) and I am so glad because I have found this little gem. I notice that it is in answer to Jill's sunshine challenge. I like the way you interpreted the challenge writing putting anti into the sunshine. Absolutely awesome work x
I'm honoured you're taking the time to do so! You have such a thoughtful and conscientious soul!
