Darkness
February 17, 2013
Darkness,
It creeps,
It crawls,
Inching its way across the floor,
Covering the sunlight with its shadows,
Unyielding in its search for brightness
Yet it consumes the very thing it longs to see
Reaching out with inky claws,
To suffocate the last bit of semblance of illumination
Retiring the room to gloomy blackness

Good description, even better imagery. My one concern is that I feel this could definitely have been elaborated more, like some of your other (fantastic) works.

I love your descriptions and the use of words in this poem. You really explain darkness well.
