The Sound of Darkness

Neville

The Sound of Darkness

 

Listen,

can you hear

 darkness forming ..

See how

 the light it flickers ..

Take it

 from me darling ..

That roar,

is not a sign from

 up above ..

But surely, more

 a mighty warning ..

Can you

 feel it too, my love ..

I sense

a certain darkness

 calling ..

Yet fear not, it feels

just like me

being called, back

 home again ..

        • Neville



          .. I just placed my lips very close to the screen and whispered your name .. ❤️

          The central theme of the poem revolves around the dual nature of darkness – both as a foreboding force and a source of comfort and familiarity.

              Neville, yes, I do hear it. So.....familiar. BUT, like you stated, we do continue to smile, because...what other choice do we have? I've learned to....look at it straight in the face! Many times I curse at it!! You have hit a nerve for me...thank you! 💜

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Buggered if I know, Neville. I'm just a simple soul who knows nothing about anything much...so why make it even more complicated (for me)....

                    I expected this to go in a completely different direction
                    Going by the title
                    Nicely done
                    May even have heard a hint of light

                    • Neville



                      It sounds like you led yourself up the garden path on my behalf .. if so, then I apologise .. Cheers, Neville

                      • peto

                        No apologies necessary
                        I thoroughly enjoyed

                        "Darkness" has a "sound" when that sound is of a pending storm.
                        Your poem, to me, seems to indicate some sort of upheaval. Like maybe the end of a great vacation or returning to a long-ago home. Enjoyed this one. - Phil A.

                        • Neville



                          You are absolutely write Phil, it does have a sound all of its own .. I have often tried to describe it but always failed miserably .. thank you so much for stopping by my friend .. Neville

                        • Bella Shepard

                          I can't help but see one who is preparing to leave this world. The darkness forming, yet a flicker of light lingers, the lover by his side, sharing those final moments. But fear not, the darkness is calling him, back home again. The Sound of Darkness is expressed in beautiful words and sentiment, and a credit to this poet.

                          • Neville



                            you have again excelled in fathoming my intentions Bella .. thank you my friend .. Neville

                          • L. B. Mek

                            to appreciate, that gifted 'Home'
                            in our lives, is the first glimpse
                            of wisdom, blossoming in our lives
                            (I choose to believe)
                            Brilliant!
                            may that darkness be swallowed
                            by the light of your defiant Hope
                            before
                            it reaches your doors, my friend 🙏

                            • Neville



                              overwhelmed by your kindness, I am compelled to thank you recurringly again today .. cheers bro 🙂

                            • Parisab

                              I think that Silence being light or ‘dark’ is becoming an endangered commodity-I’ve been protective of it be as maybe at full capacity for non sense-but for your poetry, I still have to check regularly Neville,

                              • Neville



                                then I am indeed truly honoured .. thank you .. Neville

                                Over the years….we were the same….but still not the same…..so was our way with darkness….we feared the nights and nightmares….but who knew the same darkness became respite…to hide our wounds from ugly eyes….totally immersed in your poetry dear Neville…

                                • Neville



                                  its a real treat to have you back my friend .. thank you and hope your world is now treating you kindly .. Neville

                                  • spilleronsheet

                                    Adjusting and adapting is the only solution…the world I guess isn’t fair for anyone, so none has right to complaint I guess
