Morning brings the gift of Gold
When Eos drapes the still-cold land
In the yellow glow of a brand new day

Everything about, is shimmered Silver
In the blanketing heat of the noon-day sun
The time of waver, and mirage

The promise of Platinum colors the night
Moon shine and star shine reflecting back
From all but the hollowest of places

And Copper is the real color of Midnight
When the only thing that one can see
Are the coins that cover the eyes

This IS what DARK is about.

You write the inner turmoil--and don't indulge with the slasher scenes.

Perhaps it is the wisdom that comes with age, but maybe just experience--to know that truly DARK is to live with the ghosts.



The rest of critique, you know already.

Artfully written.

A promise of platinum colors the night. Most metaphors push the comprehensive envelope. You have managed to turn them inside - out. Nice write.

then everything is
our thoughts and feelings

wow that was very very good, the imagry was beautiful, it reminds me of some place remote, far off in the woods.  Maybe a place in yourself?  everyone could see this a different way.  very good though on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 9.

Very interesting, Sir.

Like my cave, maybe?  
I'll keep an eye out for that copper . . .

I am in awe, I just kept reading the last 3 lines over and over again . . . . It kind of did something to my brain.  I stop typing and just stare off and on. You are so dark, yet so vivid. lovely, lovely.
