    night time (a promised poem)

    this darkness that engulfs us,

    silently will we sleep

    dancing on strings we cant yet see

    twisting and turning on the tips of our feet

    floating and passing this is our dream

    sadly we follow

    we follow every word

    we follow every image, sent, sound

    this night time we seek

    this darkness we dream in

    is nothing more than a shadow

    nothing more than a image

    nothing more than anything at all

    this is what we look forward to.

    this is what ends our light

    and this night time

    is what drives us insane

    This poem uses strong imagery to paint a vivid picture, my favorite kind of work. Nice job, but btw "nothing more than a image" you may want to make "a", "an".

    Your title made me curious, just read your poem. I just discovered a singer who write "dark" original songs. His name is Leonard Cohen. He's been around for a long time, but I just came across his stuff recently. I bought one of his final CD's - Live In London... a collection through the stages of his writing and songs. People compare him to Bob Dylan - some say even better. You may want to check him out. "leonard cohen.com" polishprince.

    thanks i think i will =)

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
