The brightness,
Penetrates,
My surface,
Melts,
The stillness,
Ignites,
Sharp bursts,
Of heat,
Within,
The hands,
Of pretty flames,
Which pry,
At caverns,
In,
My frozen,
Heart.
My heart,
Which yearns,
To feel,
The precious warmth,
Of something…
Different,
Dangerous,
Foreign,
True,
Something…
More,
Which makes,
Me want,
To hold,
Your soft,
Warm,
Hand.

I love this! It has a great rhythm and I really love how you wrote it, especially all the metaphors at the beginning!

Worry is simply a misuse of the imagination.

huh. never exactly thought of this as a "dark poem", but i guess... what is a dark poem, anyway? but, in all, i really like this poem, and the commas (which i originally thought were slightly irritating) gave it a really nice rhythm.
