Light of my Soul.



Body in darkness
Soul enter mine
Share your sweet light
Love of devine
Beacon of faith
Hope evermore
Pierce through my pores
Droplights not chores
Brighter still
As I clutch onto you
Following your thumps
As one becomes two
Heartbeats in time
Would that I'd see
The harder you shine
Reaching for glorious
Touch of your kin
I hope that you love
Being in your own skin.
Because I love you
Outward to in.

    This poem is an absolute marvel! The way it manages to capture the essence of the soul and the body is simply breathtaking. I love how the writer portrays the soul as a "beacon of faith" that comes to share its light with the body that is steeped in darkness. The imagery used to describe the light that emanates from the soul is truly beautiful, and it speaks to the hope and faith that we all hold onto.

    The writer's use of language and rhythm in this poem is truly remarkable. The way the words flow together draws you in, and the message is delivered with such force and power. It's like a rhythmic beat that pulsates through the verses, and it pulls you into this world of light and faith that the writer is creating.

    Overall, this is a beautiful poem, one that reminds us of the power of the soul and the importance of holding onto hope and faith. It's a message that we all need to hear from time to time, and it's delivered here with such passion and energy. There's no doubt that this poem will resonate with many people and leave a lasting impression on their hearts and minds. Congratulations to the writer on a job well done!
