Fang's Poetry

Darkness and Light

It eats away

Slowly devouring us

Both body and spirit

The black emptiness and severed limbs of horror

The grief of a mourning widow seeing the reflection in her tears

The guilt of a murderer as he watches his victims fall

The agony the slow torture of watching love ones die

These are the poisons of our subconscious

Changing us

Until we become soul-less beings

With no life

Poisons killing

From the inside

Taking away light

Leaving only darkness

But there is a chance

A return of the light

To wash away the darkness

To cure the poison

Return our life

It is hope

Ocean Of Pain

Waves crashing

Bringing the heartache

Sending me tumbling

Through an endless ocean of pain

Shipwrecked without an island

Barely staying afloat

Struggling against the water

And against my own torture

Forced under

Unable to breathe

My life preserver is gone

So are you

LOVE

Love

A simple four letter word

But is the most complex thing we know

Does it mean to forever be with the one?

Or to know when to let them go

To always lift them up

Or to allow them to fail

Always wiping away their tears

Or keeping them from the pain that made them cry

Holding them and saying that everything will be alright

Or making it right

What is Love?

Nightfall

A blanket of darkness covers the earth

Calm sweeping over the land and sea

Silencing the obnoxious noise of the world

Bringing the gift of temporary peace

To those bitter and sad from loss

Those angry because of their misfortunes

The lonely and desperate too afraid to reach out

And the ones who remain content

The moon and stars dance through the sky

Beacons of hope guiding to an island of safety

For those lost who have not yet been found

It all is slowly brought to an end

The blanket of calm ripped away by the dawn

Silence and peace brought to an end

But to always return at nightfall

Broken

I am broken

I didn't want it to end like this

My heart has been ripped out

And sold for parts

Part of me is here

You took part of me with you

I'll never be whole again

I'm building up

The walls you tore down

They say time will heal the pain

But I only hurt more

I should want this agony to end

Yet I don't

Because it's all I have left of you
