Dark Love

a poem by Zoe L. Daniels

Darkness consumes me,
filling me with dark desire, it burns
like s fire.

A fire so intense
it singes my heart to ash, leaving love ashes.

Darkness consumes me,
filling me with thirst.  It burns, for it
is love.

A love for Darkness
a love for the things at night
a love for the Darkness.

***Wow.  She has me beat.  At 12-1/2 I could not string sound together like that.  Her love of paranormal fiction is shining through, I fear.  Do I have a miniature A. Rice living with me?

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

  5. Awesome and I love nothing more than to see budding writers willing to share their work – it takes a lot of guts. It took me until into my 30s to get brave enough 🙂

  10. Now, now now! A poet is born. Darkness that consumes, darkness that burns, darkness that fills with thirst – very strong in imagery, challenging us and making the reader sit up…and all this from a lass of 12 years! Great stuff, Zoe. Looking forward to more
