My Darkness

Sitting eyes closed in the darkness 
suffocating a soft glow illuminates 
thoughts of a chattering mind;

As the chaos feeds on your mind
reveling in the solace of darkness,
you don’t know it illuminates;

Moonlight in a window illuminates 
there is prose within your darkness;
A murky headspace I don’t mind;

My darkness illuminates my mind.

Indeed. The curse of an artist. Thank you. Likewise.
