Dark, in turn, fears us;
With noxious lights we haunt, burn
Night itself away.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Great contrarian Haiku, Gabriel. Dark in turn fears us is a wonderful line. Good luck!
Interesting twist, great job!
Fabulous concept with death as the villain to be destroyed!
I see you snuck a few more in as well... I think we were on similar wavelengths with darkness as the subject. This one was like a counterattack, personifying dark as its own entity. Definitely scary to think about.
