The dark isn't all so bad

It will free you

In lightness there lies

Wretched daggers of light

Stabbing your eyes

If only light itself were porous

Soaked with the blood of our kin,

It would be

And dripping with desire  

Which glints like diamond's fire

But touch it and it will burn

Burn you like the embers wrought

Across Poe's own chamber floor

And pushed into a darkness

Light

A darkness unlike the darkness here

The sheltering, nurturing cool swirls

Of navy beauty

Rest assured here,

that nothing can harm you
