Analysis of Kindred Love



Through bouts of toils and happiness
be neither dark nor light.
Foretold the tales of emptiness
intensified by night.

The realm well traveled will succumb
to a parralel of souls.
A gentleness of comrades
where others fear to go.

While demons dance in sheer delight
your sanity need win.
Accomplish much through subtleness
their strength comes from within.

In darkened corners of my soul
the battle rages fierce.
Encompassing the fortified
until the armor's pierced.

Then through the haze, a candlelight
it pushes back the dark.
Enforcing all the walls of will,
illuminates a spark.

The revelry of Kindred souls
Breach even darkened doors.
Turn back the void of emptiness
And allows the soul to soar.
