night creature that I am
I hide my sun red eyes
shield them from the light
too weak to fight
the day's dawn
too weak to stand

and no-one knows my name
no-one sees my heart
for I am but a dark shadow
flickering here and there
upon earth's crust
an illusion
a mystery
you'll never see my face
or scent me on the wind

for night creature that I am
I'll never leave the dark

"I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself,
than to be crowded on a velvet cushion."

Izzy, one shines the brightest when all seems dark around them. You are not alone in these feelings. Your heart is visible, though you try to keep it hidden.

I could not love except where Death
Was mingling his with Beauty's breath -
Or Hymen, Time, and Destiny
Were stalking between her and me.

Even so, dear Izzy. The Light is only there to contrast the Dark.

As one who is perpetually in the dark I suggest Ray-Bans! Works for me. Good poem!
