Darkness
The dark is a summer shadow
A smile at the edge of the moon
A blanket to hang the stars from
A mask for a lover’s rune
The dark is a hidden promise
The blackened eye of a lock
The space in a hidden corner
The secret inside of a box
The dark is a dull reflection
A ghost in an empty tomb
A crack in the face of an angel
A voice in an empty room
The dark is a colour for dreaming
A billowing cloak for the wind
A cushion of curdled enamel
A place where the earth begins
The dark is a haunted vessel
The soft arm that cradles the soul
The view in a guileless mirror
Of the darkness we all own
A smile at the edge of the moon
A blanket to hang the stars from
A mask for a lover’s rune
The dark is a hidden promise
The blackened eye of a lock
The space in a hidden corner
The secret inside of a box
The dark is a dull reflection
A ghost in an empty tomb
A crack in the face of an angel
A voice in an empty room
The dark is a colour for dreaming
A billowing cloak for the wind
A cushion of curdled enamel
A place where the earth begins
The dark is a haunted vessel
The soft arm that cradles the soul
The view in a guileless mirror
Of the darkness we all own

Thank you for your visit that other day..its been awhile we get so bussy around our circle of life we tend to forget those who always on our path
A very good poem this. Some great lines - the blackened eye of a lock, a crack in the face of an angel.
Back to school? No school visits yet - which is good, as I'm starting to catch up a bit after a very frenetic summer. Whatever happened to the summer?

Roger it was last seen looking a bit dazed on the southern coast of France and was overheard to say it had completely missed the England stop, but might attempt a return for one Wednesday in June in 2007 so better hang onto that suncream.
Castor it would sit well with your wierwolf I think
