Thy Dark Soul Akin to Mine

Hello my friends. This one was kind of spontaneous, but I like the symbolism I conjured with little effort, so I opted to make few changes. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow,

Thy Dark Soul Akin to Mine

By James O. Cannon

Darkness waits in shadows untold…

Tis’ a fact that we all should know.

To stray from the evils that unfold,

From within the self we don’t show.

Hide the thoughts that shame thy self.

For if it is shame that that fills your soul from the thought,

And it fills nothing but the journals upon thy shelf,

Then those inner dark spaces are best acted upon not.

Dark poetic freedom that flows in free verse,

Tis’ in my soul, with structure weak or structure strong.

The talent for words and their use is sometimes a curse,

For it tends to make lonely nights long.

The message within is for you to mark,

For some have a soul of light and some a soul of dark.
