Beautiful Darkness

REVIEWS?

The velvety smoothness

surrounds me.

Smothers me.

But I am not afraid.

For when I rest 

in the deep dark nothing,

I become nothing as well.

The inky black

obscures my senses,

I lose all train of thought.

And shed the mask

that has come to define me

the mask

of all I've lost.

So I run away

from everything

I run away to Here.

Here is where

the darkness festers

Here is where I stay.

The Beautiful Darkness

is my home.

The Beautiful Darkness

is Me.

The description was amazing in the poem.
"For when I rest
in the deep dark nothing,
I become nothing as well."
I like the flow of thoughts and the very good ending. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poem.

You captured that feeling so well..there is something beautiful in that place..excellent use of language ..visually gorgeous.

So sad, so lonely. I like how you express that retreat into sleep and self, the perfect escape. The darkness is sometimes so comfortable.

This sunk a hole in my heart this is real stuff. It reminds me of an abusive parent or something. Everything was said hat needed to be said and there are no loose keys where the rhyming cracks. Oh man your work is going to be published one day I swea to Gog. :O)

i enjoy this very much. i feel that the third stanza is not as strong as the others, maybe slightly disjointed. but overall very emotive and beautifully tragic.
