Darkness
disturbed
by the flame
of a little taper
slowly burning
’til the wick’s burned up
completely
The taper’s flame
slowly fades,
getting smaller
hardly able
to light up my mind
And when it dies
I resume the fight
getting lost in the darkness
afraid to face
the enemy
Frightening
imaginary or invisible
shady individuals
competing to be
the king of the night,
to possess the darkness
and it’s infinite might.
