Darkness.

I feel the night wind closing in.
My breath deepens.
I have only darkness around me.
Sweet bright darkness.
I want to embrace it.
But I cant.

I hear thunder as I sing.
I sing of love and rain.
I cant help but wanting darkness.
It fills me.
The sweet cold air.
Rain begins to come.

The soft drops fall onto my back.
I have chills from head to toe.
I love it.
Water is my everything.
Water is my power.
Water is darkness.

I love the darker side of poetry, love poetry is done to death. This dark write was as refreshing as a spring rain. Excellent piece.
