The Darkness Overtakes Me (Poem) Empty
PostSubject: The Darkness Overtakes Me (Poem)   The Darkness Overtakes Me (Poem) I_icon_minitimeFri Sep 18, 2009 1:42 pm

Here's a poem I wrote for my English class months ago. I'm actually quite proud of it. With no further intoduction; here it is.

The Darkness Overtakes Me:

I lay there extremely weak
My eyelids shut slowly
My time seems bleak
The darkness overtakes me

The night is young, today is dead
My heart rate is slowing
Constricted by thousands of mended threads
The darkness overtakes me

On a soft slab I ride
With some mystery I must abide
For I do not know what’s on the other side
The darkness overtakes me

The shrouds of blindness everywhere
Light or sound would stop the process
But if it’s stopped, it would be more to bear
The darkness overtakes me

To you this sounds like a fright
But it’s not, it’s actually a delight
A delight I go through, every night
The darkness overtakes me

Love the last paragraph, but seems a little disconnected. Know what I mean?

I beleive it could have benifitted from the last verse following the same pattern as the others, by saying "As the darkness overtakes me" at the very end.
But that's just my oppinion.
