Here ye! Here ye! Come on down to witness the workings of none other than the one, the only, Darkness Ascendant!

Oh and requests most definitely!

A link to my tumblr is in my sig if anyone is interested https://wanderingvagrant.tumblr.com/

Here's something I made the other day.

Through stars uncharted,
Through pain unknown, 
We bear these scars of survival
Of these lives we used to own.
Though our dreams turn to dust
And all we know turns to stone,
We are the one’s left standing
Among rust, shadows and bone.

[NamelessThirteenth]

The sun cuts into the shadows

the shadows moan and hiss

The light is on a quest

to transcend the bliss

A quest futile, a quest apart

For shades dwell but in the heart

 

 

 

Saw your post and felty like doing this. On the spur of the moent, so it doesn't make sense. I realizeI am better at writing novels than poems.

 

 

[Darkness Ascendant]

 

We all come into the world in darkness, a shadowland it is then, we know not what we see or what we know. Each of us carry a glass jar, and in it are stars, stars which light our way and illuminate the shadows, reveal the answers. In our first days, when we are children, we are accompanied by the ones around us, they light our way for us and there isn’t a worry in the world. We give and share the stars in our jars freely, each a bundle of love, hope, compassion, joy, comfort. It is easy then, to share our stars with the ones around us, you laugh and exchange them freely, even if no-one gives you some of their stars in return.

But as you grow older, things start to change don’t they?
The people who guided your way, their light starts to dim, and soon it seems like you’re all alone, with your jar of stars. Blindly following their light. You find other stragglers in the dark, people whom you give your stars to in the hopes that they may find the light as well.

But sometimes these precious gifts aren’t appreciated. They refuse your stars, some abuse your love, they get turned down, thrown away.

And it hurts it hurts so much.

People. They don’t want to hurt. So they hide in the shadows, they don’t want to know the truth, to search for answers by the light of their stars. They grow possessive of what they have, colder, they stop sharing their light. They become isolated in the darkness, they decide that it is better to stay in the shadows then to reach out and have their stars discarded. They withdraw themselves, and the world grows darker for it.

But there are those brave souls that keep giving their stars no matter what. They soldier on and make the world a brighter place. But as they keep giving, doubt and worry gnaw at them in the back of their minds.We give away our light, our stars. Perhaps people accept these gifts...but we aren’t getting anything back.

And disquiet sets in. What if we run out of stars? What if we become perpetual shadows ourselves?

And so, some of them stop giving as well. They hunch over what little light they have and they sigh and turn away. Their stars become hidden to the world, the light is darkened instead of shining out to others in a beacon of hope.

But there is another type of person.

The type you are.

The sort of person that has witnessed their light diminish, given up to light the way for others. The sort that has had their light abused by the people around them. The sort that still fights on to fight the darkness. The sort that continues looking for answers, continues fighting, fighting, fighting.

It may seem like you are empty, that your stars have long diminished, but remember that others will come and kindle your light. Someone will appreciate you and love you for the amazing human being you are. They will give you their stars, and light the way for you.

It may seem like you are lost, that there is no purpose in shambling in the dark and hunting for answers to faceless questions, no point in lighting the way for others, no point in giving up your light for others. But there is always a reason, we fall so we can learn how to pick ourselves up again, we cry so we can appreciate the world more, remember and cherish the good times.

It may seem like there is no feeling in the world. But the world is in darkness, and there are others like you battling it, trying to light up the world, you just need to shine through the shadows and find them.

And yet.

You keep shining anyway.

You keep fighting, you keep shouldering the worries of the world, and cutting through the shadows.

Do you have any idea how beautiful that is?

You keep shining, you keep sharing your light, your warmth.

Some day, you will meet someone, and you will give to them your last star. Someone who will take your last rays of light, look at their brilliance, and smile. Someone who will appreciate what you just gave to them. And your heart will sing as they place it carefully in their own jar, adding to their light.

And as a tear runs down their cheek, they will grab a handful of their own stars, and fill up your empty jar.

Look at you. Standing in the shadows, alone you think. One day, you will realise that you were never alone, there were always others in the shadows helping you forward, pushing you and motivating you. And once you shine your light through the shadows, you will find them, their arms open and they will embrace you and whisper in your ear.

You did it

One day, I promise you this, you will realise that you were always appreciated and loved. That you were never lost or alone. And you will look back to these days and smile, realising that they shaped who you were, strengthened you, made you a better person. It may seem like all there is, is darkness. But once you shine through, you will realise that there is so, so much more.

You always brought beauty, love and warmth to the world. You bring care and wonder to the world. You kindle stars, reignite lights and help people on their way.

And if people don’t appreciate you, if they leave you feeling hopeless and lost, then remember that it is a fault on their part, there is nothing wrong with you. If they can’t see what an amazing person you are...don’t mind them, focus on the people who do appreciate you. Keep giving, Keep shining your stars to the world and bringing hope and life to the world.

You are an amazing person.

And you are appreciated and loved by the ones around you. Just look for where the shadows come from, and you will find us.

One day, you will realise just how beautiful and wonderful you are. This I promise.
