when brightest day yields to darkest night,
my spirits fall, my storm clouds loom.
my eye lids droop, I try to fight,
but alas, it seems, they've sealed my tomb

Then morning comes and I awake,
push back the dark, and rise again!
My fears are gone, I didn't break,
the night is dead, but I remain.

and so you see, it seems to be
that dark and light, both fade with time.
if ones does fall, the other shall rise,
its a timeless race, an endless climb.

Thanks guys

@harry, yes i did miss that in the last stanza.. somehow inspiration for anything near poetic only comes during terrible times so exhaustion and mood were factors, lol couldnt make abab work so i went abcb. I also liked the rhythm on that last verse first line.. i wished i could get it throughout.. practice makes perfect I guess :P

@Tazz, you read alot of this eh? you commented on another one I did, http://www.literotica.com/p/boorreeddd

Thanks again both of you for comments

Missed completing the ABAB rhyme you had going on the last

Liked the internal rhyme first line of the last stanza

Think it might have been better AABB

The message come through loud and clear
