Who are your demons?
Those living inside you
Hiding from light in the shadows
Always there, waiting
Steering your life into treacherous waters
Sapping away the best you have
Riding you like a wave
Ultimately, filling you with emptiness
Though you wish otherwise
your demons are never separate from you
Always, buried parts of us, growing
like weeds among the roses
Strangling us to death
Until we name them
they continue to inhabit us
What are their names?

Poetic Alchemist 
Fadzly: Very kind of you to include my poem. Your photography is wonderful. You are very talented. Thank you. Don
Dear Don,
Out of my sheer love to your poems and beautiful words which has always soothed my heart, I have again quoted one of your poem as a part of my photography display on flickr. Heres the link to it.
Anne: Thanks. Not inspired by the book, but there could be unconscious connection there.
Is this inspired from ‘The Northern Lights’?
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES???
Dan: Pleased to be your demon. Feel better now?
Polona: Exorcism precisely. Thanks.
ah, those demons! yes, writing about them, talking about them, naming them helps exorcise them…
good poem!
My demons are named Don, Dan, George and Fear….
