Darkness Beseeching Poem by Ryan Bellardini

What's my cause of tribulation?
Am I coming to a revelation?
Concepts beseech me, befuddle me even,
Internal conflicts with the demon.

My head and my heart are even in pace,
Yet I cant seem to get out of this place.
Despair, anguish, heartache, and remorse,
Will I ever steady my course.

I see the light from the tunnel ahead,
Is it bad that the darkness comforts me instead?
Through the wilting forests of passion,
And the barren wastes lie ashen.
Here I lay, restless, in true loves fashion.

I call out for dawn to break,
But my life is one to forsake.
For I felt daylight once before,
Its been so long, it feels like lore.

Come into my darkness and take my hand,
Forever together we will stand.
In passion and fury, with all my might,
We will break through this night.

To bask in sudden glory, for all to see,
All I really needed, was you and me.

-Ryan T. Bellardini
