The sky is filled with a brilliant inferno

Before the darkness comes

The sun has lost the battle,

The night has taken its place,

Darkness reigns in the heavens

And summons shadows upon the world

The darkness is my strength,

My friend, my love, it surrounds me,

It walks with me; I fade into the blackness,

I become the night, only to return again

When the sun arrives to take my friend away....

This is a poem my friend wrote, and it has the distinct honor of being the first poem by another person to make it onto my page, lets all congratulate him.
