The Darkness

The darkest word in English is the darkness. The real darkness differs from a starkness, a rut of death with pennies on her lids. The darkness, I repeat, has no bearing on covered mirrors, farewells, despairing and mourning lilies in the widow's weeds. Oh, how I love the darkness of a starless and empty space a plot is coming from, a flash of inspiration and a parlous script twist, a weird content, a new form. The form, the content and the emptiness which is composed of everything... I guess, this sort of darkness fills a poet's pen. Not pen but veins! One day, I know, my blood, my sleeplessness, my poetry, my art will turn into the darkness once again. A winged, a dragonfly sonnet? I have no idea)

Darkness is its own world, where light will never penetrate...Well-expressed. ` gw

Kurt, I read this three times, and believe you have invented a new form. I have no idea what you will call it, but I have faith you will come up with a wonderful idea. Nicely done for sure!
