black out

[BloSs0m]

My arms swim
in the black holes in front of me
i fumble like a blind woman
looking for a light.
shaking hands.
through pockets, bags, pants...
cold metal dances on my fingertips.

spark.
outside my halo of flame
the world seems so much darker,
everything sounds so much louder,
in the dark.

the door shudders on its rollers
a bicycle clunking through its gears
outside. The lack of light pollution
startles me.
The stars shine brighter
than i have ever seen them
in the cirty before.

the emptiness of my suburban street.
the bitumen. warm
from the autumn sun.
warms my naked toes.
i feel vulnerable.
the ebony of the night blankets me.

spark.
little flame. Big impact.
the stars dull.
paled to even my little light.
i let the darkness engulf me
once more.

i find confort in my solitude.
the night's raven wings hide me
from the evils of this city.

I like this....I think it's too easy for people to equate darkness with negativity, but I find darkness can be really comforting.

I really like the mood you've set with this piece blossom...it comes across as a short film to me, with a voiceover reciting the piece...

Very nice work! As Raz said too often darkness is evil or wrong etc, you've really captured the quietness and serenity that some can find in the dark. I likes!
