the will to light

Labels: 0 observations

Something so new, I can smell the dew upon it.

the will to light

we share, we dare the will to light,
the will to fight against the shadows
that are persistent, insistent and resistant
to eternal banishment and vanishment.

they return to burn our eyes and carry lies
and to size up the energy needed to make us bleed,
to feed us our own cracked surrenders.
defenders to memory, pretenders to hope, we rise again.

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
