Goodbye Jesus

Dandelion Suns

Recommended Posts

Dandelion suns,

strewn across grassy space --

half in sunlight,

half in shadows,

like a sad, troubled face.

I wrote this second verse, but it seems too dark for it. What does everyone think?

 

* * * * *

 

What dark nightmares lie

in that dim, twilit place

between the dusk,

between the dawn,

where dreams and fears embrace?

No it's not too dark. It's engaging.

Dandelion suns

strewn across grassy space --

half in sunlight,

half in shadows,

like a sad, troubled face.

 

What dark nightmares lie

in that dim, twilit place

between the dusk,

between the dawn,

where dreams and fears embrace?

 

Shadows, soft and gray,

entwine with sunlight’s lace

through the daydreams,

through the nightmares,

‘til dawn sets gold ablaze.

What do you think?

Reminds me of a H.P. Lovecraft short story I read pretty recently... The poem is good though (the story was good as well).
