Dark

On September eleventh in the year 2001 life was getting dark for many people in the world. Attacking the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center was a crime against humanity, and the day when it happened became a dark-black day in the history of the United States of America.

I know now that I do not need to fear the dark dreams. There always comes a brilliant burst of light, filling the universe of my eyes.

Or else the zing of lightning along my nerves.

And in the tensions, I learn new structures, new castles, new palaces.

And they are not in the air, but in my flesh.

I used to fear the dark when I was a child, which is quite odd because I like it very much now. Well, must be because I'm gothic...

The darker the night, the better it is to see the stars (bon mot from a frustrated city dweller).

Which do you prefer: dark or milk chocolate?

Dark night is soft and tender and makes me smile.

Dark enough, o prince, for your blue bedazzled eyes the moon alone in bleak and blackened skies.

Please turn off the lights. It's much too bright. Try a candle – a tealight! The dark is softer and will help you more than a flourescent scream.

Absence of light-the suffocation of enlightenment.
