i was writing. i was listening. watching. i was thinking in the darkness... because the darkness understands me. without a verbal word-- without a mutter, without a sound, it calls to me. it holds me with a cold embrace and i feel warmth. it chills me with its breath and i feel comfort. it makes echoes of my tears and i hear song; music so sweet as laughter... the darkness steals my breath when i try to speak. it screams in my ear when i listen. it steals the ink from my pen making me write words with my tears. the darkness beats me up; it understands me. -dgvarner |

DGVarner~ Slightly different for you. I enjoy the solitude of the night ... ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Dee are you ready for the applause, well it's deafening. Girl this is so brilliant, even better than your best. If I was the jealous type I'd be frothing at the mouth now. What you do with a word takes me several pages. Yet another really amazing poem! Take care, I love this, 'Bubbles'  |

Dee had to come back for another read. I knew you'd get it frothy bubbles, can't slide one past you can I. I've got this stuck on the 'puter, just because it's so good. The applause is still going on and on. love and stuff, 'Bubbles' |

Dang, it seems in this poem that you truely listen to darkness, dg. But do NOT listen all of the time, for it'll lead into trouble, and most wouldn't want that. --Little Girl |
