Antidote

With every passing day,

the teeth of death

sink deeper and deeper

into our fragile flesh.

Our restless spirits know

that death is just a gate

but uncertainty breeds fear.

Hypnotized by your smile,

I enter another dimension

where light is the ruler.

Where there is love.

You are my escape from bleakness,

yet it is in the dark

that we glow the most.

    This is brilliant! I love how you pull us through this poem and then ended it with a picture of perfection, with the one you love. Absolutely, brilliant!

    Gorgeous poem! I love the themes of Light and Dark and how love evolves throughout the poem.
