The rules of darkness are thus

it must obliterate light
creating in black,

sculptures

of shadow that move,

with imagination
    and mood

a dance in the absence
    of light.

In crease of wall...

    deep of inked color
saturates and penetrates,

    now home of dark fear
          of velvet tears

    alone, in tone

as the darkness, a void, envelopes,

and the inevitable
       of obliteration occurs.

The rules of darkness are thus,

No hint or flicker of light you trust,
But stay to the shadowed way,
Letting the night become your day.

You most move with the shadow
For it alone can hide your sorrow,
Cool emotion and drown your lust.

The steaming water won’t warm the soul
Close your eye in tears to hide
Keeping all locked deep inside.

No flames of passion will light the way
You must long for the darkness to stay
Adjusting to the endless numbing cold.

As the darkness envelops me,
I feel a warmth
the bright sunlight
does not understood.

Thanks for the thought waves.

Crazy how we adjust to the dark, where even it has distinguishing shades. Enjoyed this and Gloom's response.
