I hail from the shadows
But speak of the light
Morbid the forces
Hosting my night
My pen runs before me
Blazing my trail
I follow behind it
Escaping my hell
Simply put, I write simple fare
Treasuring the pleasure
Explored and found
A release beyond measure
Enter my world
You may come as you are
But don't expect complexities
I haven't come quite that far
But speak of the light
Morbid the forces
Hosting my night
My pen runs before me
Blazing my trail
I follow behind it
Escaping my hell
Simply put, I write simple fare
Treasuring the pleasure
Explored and found
A release beyond measure
Enter my world
You may come as you are
But don't expect complexities
I haven't come quite that far

thought provoking....
I hail from the shadows
But speak of the light
Morbid the forces
Hosting my night
My pen runs before me
Blazing my trail
I follow behind it
Escaping my hell
These two stanzas are my favorite in this elegant piece.

my other id in here is called complex simplicity though i do not go in there much and have no poems posted there
