Hi @johnjgeddes,
The way you used metaphors in your poem is really appreciable thing. How beautiful wording you chose
You are darker
Than my moods
I've begun to learn
My heart
Was right—
You're black as hell,
And dark as night.
This reminds me a couplet of great URDU poet JAUN ELIA (Translated version)
~ Hence proved peace is rare in universe..
If someone finds it in relationship, then he is not deceived by them yet!
