Within Darkness.
Within darkness there is a light. A light in which will try to shine, but that light struggles to be free from the darkness, where it keeps it imprisoned so that it cannot go away.
For the darkness needs the light, you see. It takes the lights warmth and love, and sucks it out so that the darkness can feel powerful. It takes the suffering of the light and makes it feel weak, but the light keeps shining– it keeps pushing onward in hopes that one day it will escape darkness and make the world full of life and love.
And then it did. The light pushed itself to where the darkness could not contain it. It rose above the darkness. With the powerful beams of light that it radiated, the darkness fled to where the light could not find it.
As light triumphed over darkness, all people can rise above hardships of life. With willpower and confidence, all people have the power to rise above darkness, and so change will be for the better.
Daughter of Apollo (a poem from A son of Aphrodite)
My heart speaks to thee,
With heartache I will forever be,
In sorrow I will never see,
How you think of me.
With my heart I know,
You are too good for me.
I can feel the weakness of my heart,
As I try to set it free.
Give me a smile, a word,
Or a message by bird,
I await to be told,
With my heart on hold.
You shine like the sun,
that your father guides.
Across the horizon,
I see you rise.
In my heart I hear your name,
My mother speaks it to me.
Aphrodite is who I blame,
With all my heart, I wish you free.
Daughter of Apollo my love is true,
I can feel my heart beat for you.
If my eyes could look to the sun so bright,
I would see your face filled with light.
As Aphrodite once told me,
All is fair in love and war.
I believe not so, for you are much more.
I love you so.
Oh, daughter of Apollo, please notice me.
I need you for me to be free.
My heart loves you, for I cannot flee.
Please, can you love me?
