here i standeth
a knife in me.
immutable senses hide now
my dark sunshine rises
somewhere in the west
over a culprit of waves

and i drown today
drown in darkness' tides.
the altar cries in hell,
for happy doom comes

and i hide inside every surface
but it flows through me like blood
and today i breathe again.
breathe as your effigy

my light commences my dark
and all is but a mirror now
darkness in one,radiance th' other
me in yourself i see

My knife i hold still
blackened soul,marooned steel..

Wow!

That was a very potent, and powerful poem. Did you mean anything special by "my dark sunshine rises, somewhere in the west, over a culprit of waves"? Because if you did, genius. If not, you unintentionally added egyptian symbolism to a poem whose potency is higher above many i've read at least within the last 3 months. And i read A LOT of poetry. So awesome work. Truly.
