Hello ,
Apologies. But then – it took me time to write this poem (a lot of time ). I hope you guys like it !!!
I am but a shadow in dawn’s presence;
My soul desiccates under torrid sunlight,
Sublimating to the resplendent nothing
As a torpid pulse starves my weepy heart;
Its melancholy wails choked in dry vapor
We are twin siblings of this forsaken world:
The gauche masses chase her with lanterns,
Cursing her presence even in hours of repose;
Only she understands me, broken and forlorn,
Her arms are my comfort as I cry in silence
Our shared sorrow throbs in brittle marrow;
Her slight, gelid touch impales my hollow soul,
I become the cold: shedding corporeal bondage
To adopt her airy skin, I collapse toward umber,
Dissipating as gusts carry me into the unknown.
*Nyctophilia means love of the darkness .
Ps- I am Nyctophobic. Surprise surprise !!
Hey fellow nyctophobic,
Nice to meet you. People think fear of darkness isn’t an actual thing. But what do they know? They haven’t been inside our heads!
That was beautiful 🙂 🙂

Very nice, reminds me of my old poetry days in high school. I lost most of it. due to my old blog site going out for good, no back ups.
I didn’t mean to make this about me, you have a gift for poetry, keep at it.

I loved this poem, it rolled rather nicely with the flow of words. I myself am Nocturnal, that’s where I seem to do my best work when writing. But whether darkness is feared or favored, it should be embraced because it goes hand and hand with the light. Again, beautiful read. Thank you for posting this.
