The beautiful darkness that consumes,
That loneliness that brings the great nocturnal metallic abyss.
The almost photographic feelings of creativity and drowning in darling perfumes,
Framed faces who give therapeutic assists.
The warm breath of glitter-like flashes,
That push and pull and tiny shiny threads of annoying light.
The Pitch black brings me to my sanity's ashes,
Where the specks puff up and bring me to my days delight.

Yes indeed my dear poetess, Darkness has beauty that light did not possess. Darkness disply innumerable stars that light hide. It all lies in the beholder like you. You see light even in darkness, a great sign of maturity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and also for commenting on my poem...Venu

Darkness is Light Reformed
I love this little piece for in darkness one's mind can become replete. How the light wishes for darkness as it ends the days destruct and set aloft so many who have fought.
I like it, I like it so.

Nocturnal metallic abyss...
you've described a vision of black, of night, so that I look at it in a wholly new way.
Well done. -
