“...you can have a dark heart and be a writer, but you can't have a black one..”

“the abyss you stare into and that stares back at you is your reflection in the mirror - we all have it - that shadow self - that dark heart...”

“...true love is an irrevocable act - you can only give your heart away once - after that, you give as much as you have left ...”

“... your heart is your soul twinkling in the black firmament inside you...”

“...no good writing flows from a polluted well - you can write about monsters, but you can't be one...”

“...dark embers smolder inside me - one touch and they flare - who would have thought memory combustible, or near you bright sparks appear?...”

“...have I told you? - your eyes are a dark poem of dancing snow at midnight ...”
