Dark Personified

[lwahl]

The gentle touch, the soft embrace
That tickles my toes and kisses my face - I don't really connect tickles with 'gentle' and 'soft'
‘Til morning breaks, and away it’s chased.
Kept at bay ‘til dusk walks by,
And Mother holds tight to the sky.

Then, slowly walking through the street
Recovers from its last retreat
Draped gently like an endless sheet. - could endless be a different adjective? 
Covering windows, closing doors,
Only to recede once more. - 'recede' implies there was some sort of enlarging or advancing. perhaps integrate that into the poem in some way?

Peacefully timid, eagerly shy
Patiently waiting to explore.

This was really quite enjoyable to read. Wonderful job.
