POEM 43 (Demons)

Darkness dances with
and caresses shadows
while fading in and out of time.
The days are cold, bitter,
the nights colder
but you can feel my heat
if you look inside
and see my truth.
Yes, I want to shelter you,
but you will also see
where my demons hide.

If you get too close
all your dreams will fail
I will let you down.
So I will let you go,
hold you no longer
unless you show me
how to love you;
how to hold on
while these demons
**** out my life.

*(NOTE: I utilized some of the words, ideas found in the song “Demons”
by Imagine Dragons. The music in this song is mesmerizing to me, even
though I believe we make our own fate for the most part;
we are much more than ‘greed’, there is no ‘kingdom
come’ in the religious sense. We alone determine our path.
What we believe and what we do affects the world around us.
This poem is dedicated to a very special friend.)
