Analysis of Whisper In Darkness



Lying is where the pain is conceived
Fearing; the start, of the lies we believe
Finding in time; it's ourselves we've deceived
Longing to gain now; our lives reprieve
Whisper in darkness, and show me the light
Burning the sky with your images bright
Breathing the soul of your love to life
With sweet little nothing's to dream of at night
Painting a picture of what love should be
Changing with time; all parts of the scene
Choosing what's right on the basis of need
Passing old truths, and making hearts bleed.

Jason Erik Pavlich

Started writing 32 years ago, and after 10 years the main body of my work was tossed by an ignorant insensitive jerk. Not too much writing the last 22 years...life had other things in mind for me. I'm back. more…
