Contentment's Device

Surprises stir amidst the darkest room
Budded core ignites this precious bloom
Surrendered passion evolves the night
Simplistic pleasures brought true delight

Gifted glory, a glimpse of paradise
Mission to succumb contentment's device

Mysterious presence appeases the mind
Unspoken truths searches to find
Bewildered expression with recognized release
Accepting events gracious with peace

Black... Darkness....

Black is blacker
Than the darkness of the night

Darkness roams
The earth's core
Eating away
Joy and happiness
Sadness lasts
Forever more

Black is blacker
Than the darkness of the night

As long that
We're together
Darkness can't
Harm our living souls

Black is blacker
Than the darkness of the night

Our love will
Never fade
We'll be together
'Till the last day

Black is blacker
Than the darkness of the night

Light will shine
Through our hearts
Forever more
'Till we part

Black is blacker
Than the darkness of the night

We found happiness
Darkness is no longer
Light will shine upon us
Through the night
