Darkness

Darkness triumphs light. Darkness hides the imperfection of the soul It allows mystery within every person.

Darkness is the rival of Light
Many vilify Darkness
Darkness is blame for evil
Many despise the Dark
Yet Darkness is our true friend
The Light would reveal all
The Light we hold so dear destroys that mystery
It destroys what makes us interesting
Darkness is the true force of creation
The Darkness is Good Light is Evil

Well I suppose you already know that women are the "darkness"-(the yin), while Men are the "light"-the Yang. Yet considering the fact that Men are the warriors and kill people and start wars, while women are the peace makers and nurturers, it makes absolutely good sense that darkness,)Yin), trumps the light-Yang and women rule.
Men may deny it, but they are subservient to the rulers of the world-Women-(the darkness). This makes perfect sense to me. Interesting write.
I have a friend on here that wrote a similar poem which I think you'd enjoy. Her name is Linda Marie Vantassle(I think). if you respond I'll direct you to the poem.

I think this is an different, but interesting way to look at Darkness and Light. I have to agree with Dizzy that there both or none. Just depends on the way you look at it. I'm sort of confused at what you're trying to get at when the Light concept is introduced, especially the last sentence. Maybe try to make it clearer to understand. Otherwise, it's really all matter of opinion. Keep it up! (I learned a new word today! Vilify. Thanks!)

In my opinion neither is either. Its a yin and yang circle of balance where two opposites work completely together to get a whole picture. Normally though people think light and think it good, and dark bad. I like how you turned this around on people. It's a different way of thinking. Though neither light or darkness can be trusted.

It is a poem that makes the reader think twice. There will always be a conflict with good and evil or should we say (the light and darkness). Since creation it is the force that keeps balance in this world. As long as both are equal we shall be safe. If one were to be stronger than the other it would create chaos. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece!

can't say I exactly agree with this, I'm still thinking on it
but it's interesting...
without the dark,
what would we consider the light?
without both...what would we have, to celebrate or to mourn?
dark and light always seem to conflict, but where would we be without them...
...I like how you think toooo

In the darkness of the night we discover the secret of love. Darkness under the stars the nights of drinking and good friends are the best nights in a life. You are correct. Darkness is very good.
