Darkness

Covering, coloring, smothering,

Changing forms into shadows.

Tricking the eyes like a mirage

Swirling images project on walls--

Is that a person? Is someone there?

I am afraid, but in love.

I can't see and I can imagine.

Twisting tendrils flash out,

Grasping my vision and tearing

What use must it have for my eyes?

Playful, deceiving, conceptual dark.
