The Dark Side

Today, I live in another world
Beyond the moon's dark side,
The only light
To break this night
Is my memory of you

I loved and lost in bitter feud
As evil reared its head
No glimmer found
In thoughts resound
My spirit restless in the gloom

So now I walk with bleak despair
No inner glow to warm
My covered head
With graveyards dead
I walk that endless road

And should you ever come to find
Bring to me a flame
And I will reach
My heart beseech
The warmth of your forgiveness

Until that day, I walk alone
With blackness as my cloak
I long to roam
The paths of home
That bring me safe to you

Very nice. The middle rhymes, they make it skip along. A bit sad though :(

A bit of a new style from you, love it, it works so well. Heavily loaded with what seems like regret, or else you are a ghost ;-

This is different Elle but I really like the rhyming and the darkness .... it is very evocative of regret and the bleak despair that accompanies.

Well, this is a departure, a poem that is a little gothic and has rhyming lines. I like it.
