Imagine a pitch black room,
Dark as a tomb and then
suddenly a door springs open
Letting beautiful light in so people
can see again…
The lesson is this
The light at times comes glaring brightest through the darkness, impossible to miss
By: J.N.R Dutton
He’s had dark hours,
yeah more than a few
All it took was one point of light
to change his point of view
By:J.N.R Dutton
A poem about light conquering darkness.
He threw away the razor blades
Threw away the booze
Decided he wanted to live
Even though his heart
was battered & bruised
If he let the darkness swallow him
He knew that wouldn’t be right
So he fought the darkness bravely,
til his soul could see the light
By:J.N.R Dutton
I once had a friend named Rick who always wrote about crimes
Things ripped from the headlines, he creeped me out at times
because the way he wrote was like he was trying to glorify
wicked people & reprobate minds and now you know,
why he’s no longer a friend of mine
By:J.N.R Dutton
He weeps for his daughter,
she’s an angel in chains
trying hard to kill deep seated pain
with all the wrong things
from whiskey to cocaine
He hates seeing her that way,
Shattered, and living her life in vain
He somehow feels it’s himself to blame
He tried his best to raise her right
but somewhere she lost sight of the light
He wants to rescue her from endless night
but he knows to do it, she’s got to want to fight
By:J.N.R Dutton
Sometimes it takes
walking through darkness
To appreciate the light
Losing a battle to get up
the will to fight
Knowing the brutality
of wrong to finally
stand up for what’s right
