Jekyll and Hyde 1

Authors Note: I wrote this because of Jekyll and Hyde.  The poem is simple and is about how people hold darkness even if they can’t see it.


Jekyll and Hyde 1

Darkness corrodes
And light sustains
But slips to darkness
And never remains

Contrary to thought
May vary from truth
Darkness controls
And that’s the truth

Outside our walls
We see the light
But deep down inside
Nothing gives sight

From behind our sockets
In the soul of our hearts
We find the blackness
And the suffering starts

For Dr. Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde
The darkness is close
No time to hide

But in every one
These shadows dwell
No one can run
From the deeps of hell
-------------------------------
(If you have a stupid sense of humor like me read the next poem)
(Alternate Ending)
Jekyll and Hyde 1

Darkness corrodes
And light sustains
But slips to darkness
And never remains

Contrary to thought
May vary from truth
Darkness controls
And that’s the truth

Outside our walls
We see the light
But deep down inside
Nothing gives sight

From behind our sockets
In the soul of our heart
We find the blackness
And now I must fart

  1. Well...I like your idea of conveying the power of the darkness. Your diction could use some work. But the last line of the first poem is nice. And as far as the "stupid humor," I do think it is pretty stupid. I think that you could have come up with something much better. But I did like how you used the motif of duality in heart vs. fart. Very effective.
