So Dark!

by Tomiladeo Seun   Jan 28, 2012


In darkness I am and by it I live
My actions not only nocturnal
But even in the presence of the angry sun,
I do things that I dare him to show.

I am he of the unknown mind
My heart not hidden but so
Black as to blend into nothingness of the eyes
Making my thoughts and intents a dark mass.

At poker, I am the Ace
I don't need to hide my black hand
It simply cannot be seen
Absorbing all light making none bounce off.

I exist in darkness, I love darkness, I am darkness
Light has no say where I am
I completely overwhelm all with my shining tar
Shunning everything with probing flashlights.

Now light, here light; there light, then light
Light is all around me, no, I don't run from it
Because I don't need to, it doesn't challenge me
It leaves me alone to wear out my dark cloak.

    It give the feeling that dark is an all consuming power. Makes the reader feel strong. Not my cup of tea but its okay.
