Darkness visits often
uninvited but not
unwelcome

arriving under midday sun
or moonless night

Darkness invades
forging a path resolute
guiding tears to the page
                                 secrets unveiled

Darkness lingers
cloaking vulnerability
seducing clandestine thoughts
                                  taboo love affair

Darkness retreats
relinquishing possession
revealing resplendent spirit
                                  spontaneous dawn
