The soft light fades
darkness pours in like rushing water
and the sounds
oh, the sounds

Little boys call out
for the strong hand of their father
the tension surrounds
oh, it surrounds

Shadows join brothers
to become one great collection
the chill like fire
oh, hot like fire

Lonliness has come
to perform nightly inspection
come join the choir
oh, subtle the choir

Faults sung like facets
echo to entice and destroy
loud as they please
oh, and they please

Brace for the torture
you are in darkness' employ
till morning's release
oh, morning's release

I especially like the rhyme sequence in this one. The anticipation is breathtaking. Gorgeous poem.

sometimes we must be surrounded by darkness to see the light within ... the juxtapositioning of images enhances this poem effectiveness ...and the concept is focused and inspired ...

An intense, dramatic, and foreboding write. The ironic paradox of the title plays out well throughout the body and music of the poem itself. Enjoyed it very much.
