    Oh to bask in the light of Darkness.

To feel it radiate on cold, cracked skin.

fears shimmering through sharpened tears.

dark shadows calling in cascaded whispers.

lulling the senses comatose.

    Oh to bask in the light of Darkness,

As it slows the pulse of emotions,

content as a barren calloused soul,

showering in it's rays of apathy.

    Oh to bask in the light of Darkness.

To dance with piercing nightmares

As they sway over the black abyss

Lingering in their jagged claws,

saturating warmth as blood

drizzles down the skeletal arms

    Oh to bask in the light of Darkness....

Show you care, please share!

I was writing the synopsis for the book I am writing called "darkly lit", when these words poured out. I kept thinking about the character Victoria and her yearning to be in the light of the darkness. Well my synopsis ended up turning into a poem.....dang so now what to write in my synopsis?....hehehe

Thank you ever faithful friends. I think at the moment this is my favorite poem. Although I am encompassing the essence of Victoria at the moment, some call it method acting...tis true though I can not get her out of my system, so I have just become her for a time. Call me crazy, been hearing it a lot anyway....hehehe
