Darkness

Nothing compares to it
The beauty, the power,
the sheer sensuality
of the darkness
Enveloping you,
holding you
in its unbreakable vice
Always playing tricks with your eyes
Being closer to you
than the actions of your life
And holding you closer
than a lover
In a grip that can tear
any man asunder
Penetrating your mind
Making you paranoid
And making the most secure of us
make sure that nothing is following behind
And knowing that there are pits of it
where no light has ever shone
Because compared to no man's might
He can do nothing without light
In the midst of the night
For without sight there is nothing
for a man to grasp onto
and claim understanding...
