In Darkness


There is something about the mystery of Darkness.
Some of us who have grown old in our ways
Prefer morning, and that is easy to understand—
A new day, another chance given, or perhaps the


Familiarity of more of the same. I for one have
Found a closeness with the night. Every day must
Have its end, and the sun’s setting portends a
Cooler and calmer end. It’s the lover you meet


In that dark and mysterious place which is forbid-
Den in daylight. The less you see with your eyes
The more sensitive the touch, the more passionate
The embrace, the more meaningful and sincere


The whispers. Come closer midnight of reckoning.
The ocean of night holds no light. It is there I shall
Find my escape. To the mystery of Darkness I must 
Submit; in the arms of Darkness, I shall spend my


Eternity; with Darkness as my lover, I harbor no fear.
