Question: Would you please turn the light on!?

Black Light

It's dark in here
I like it this way
It's dark in here
Please let me stay

For in this mode where light doesn't shine
I can keep to myself these thoughts that I find
Safe and free from pestering eyes
Allowing me to keep my disguise

Here alone I sit, stew and simmer
Surfacing never not for even a glimmer
Of the light that blinds me
the light that reminds me
the light that confines me
the light that unwinds me

where you can see me torn and unraveled
where you can see tortured trails I have traveled
where you can see me distorted disheveled
where you can see my foundation unleveled

It’s dark in here
I like it this way
It’s dark in here
Please let me stay

Mushroom Tea
(a freind's advise)

Water water everywhere!.
Water water in my hair!.
Shake your head, the mushroom said,
As he sat in my favorite chair

It's time to heal
It's time to deal
The fungus said to me

I plucked him up,
put him in a pot
and boiled water for my tea!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's dark in here,
don't go away!.
It's dark, I'm scared,
but I'll let you stay

to see a heart so marred, so scarred,
a void inside held down and barred,
and words can offer comforts few,
a single simple touch will do

please light the way
It's dark in here,
Let's face the day,
I'm with you dear!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your poem made me think of a flower seed just punched into the soil!. So happy and quite content it is to stay in the dark, satisfied!.
But with water and light, it forms and reaches the surface,
blossoming into a splendid stalk of bloom!.!.!.!.
and it looks at itself in full astonishment and thinks
now THIS is what I was meant to be! Why did I want to stay!?

If you want to be a poet, you cannot stay in the dark!. You must come out into the light of the beauty and power of words!.

They may tear away your disguise, but we are not judges!. We are poets!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have felt this way!. The dark can be comforting, for we face no one but ourselves!. Eventually, however, light arrives, and we must make our peace!. Thought filled poem!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it's darkness you admire
Are you a vampire!?
Is this just satire!?
You stroking my ire!?
Your writing burns like fire
It's every poets desire
To put classic odes on the wireWww@QuestionHome@Com
