What happens when light cannot overcome darkness?
I lose the beauty of sunrise and hide in the night.
Was it you, so hurtful, so cruel, so heartless?
What happens when light cannot overcome darkness?
No spark ignites me; the sky remains starless.
Blackness overtakes all, stealing my will to fight.
What happens when light cannot overcome darkness?
I lose the beauty of sunrise and hide in the night.
Trying a new poetry style. This is a triolet — eight lines with repeated lines and a rhyming scheme of ABaAabAB.

About what sandra thinks
Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

His staff, of course. I love how commentary on my beautifully dark poem has morphed into MarvelSmut. Hmm… sounds like a great new franchise… I should probably contact Stan Lee and Disney immediately….

I think most people have that crush. But something about her annoys me. Probably that most people have that crush. LOL.

A line I love in a poem by Johne Donne Satire III ” . . . Though truth and falsehood be near twins, yet truth a little elder is.” Truth is light and light will always shine in the dark and the end, end the dark. We know this because light and truth existed before darkness and falsehood ever was.
Beautifully written my friend!
