In the absence of the sun <br />I can see the darkness in the human heart, <br />the silouhetted evil that lies within the soul <br /> <br />Within the confines of the misty gloom, <br />roam the fettered wraiths <br />of secret passion <br /> <br />Lustful, wanton desire, the id essential, <br />haunts the etheral domain, <br />cloaked in shimmering gossamer veils <br /> <br />Half realized creatures of the dark <br />stalk with soundless echoes <br />the dim corridors of the soul <br /> <br />Unbound, unchained, <br />the foul, corrupt spirits of dark secret thoughts <br />wander freely <br /> <br />In the absence of the sun <br />I am afraid to close my eyes<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/absence-of-the-sun/
