Daniel has not picked up his PM yet to join us here but I thought I would bring his lovely creative spirit here with us by re-posting his beautiful original poetry.
Do not let me go into that dark night
By Daniel
Do not let me go into that dark night
Alone and cold in frozen moonlight
The tiny fire burns inside
Alive and warm, yet so far away
I can hardly wait for light of day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Isolated and distant from your sight
Let me stay by your side
Together and ever in romantic play
Night after night, day after day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Lonely and hurt without your delight
Come along for the ride
Loving and joyful will we ever stay
I rely on you so much, as the sun of the day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Sad and despairing because of your plight
In everything, I've never lied
Happy and hopeful, please come away
I am here for you, let's seize the day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Patient but hopeful, I feel your fright
It rushes over me like a rising tide
Yearning and insistent; come away, come away
Tomorrow can be a brand new day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Present and willing, let me be your might
But yet you still push me aside
Absent and resistant, have you nothing to say?
I fear the night but you hide in the day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Wanting, desiring with painful insight
This dark heat to which I'm tied
Avoiding, escaping your tragic play
I too am now silent in the day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Loving, deserving of love's height
I must from time to time abide
Hating, hurting myself this way
But it's something I need every day
Do not let me go into that dark night
Cold and alone. Its just not right
There is no greater divide
Warm and willing, but you had to wait
Now, dear friend, it is too late
I won't let you go into that dark night
Final and lasting, I see with your light
Over lost ashes I have cried
Renewing and eternal, I swear if I may
My love for you outshines the day.
