SHINING

I am Darkness, I am shadow,
I am an uncried tear.
She is brightness, she is the glow -
Of sunshine ever near.

I am sadness, melancholy,
I am the voice of rain.
She is gladness, she is folly,
The recompense of pain.

I am torture, I am shame,
I am the touch of sorrow.
She is pleasure. Passion untame,
She is hope for tomorrow.

I am alone, and in my fear -
I am as cold as ice.
She is comfort, warm and dear,
A glimpse of paradise.

And yet somehow our souls connect -
In the lucidity of dream.
Where a magic only her eyes reflect -
Has made the Darkness gleam.

Lovely! I have a question....how is there darkness without light? If there is no light, no one would know there is darkness as there would be nothing to compare with it.. right?
