well, i guess it's a "numb" numb...i dunno, i can't explain it...i guess 
it could be good, if you're in that kind of mood...quite frankly, i LOVE 
dark poetry...and believe it or not, dark poetry is sometimes quite 
representative of love poetry....let's take for  example, Robert 
Smith...now he writes extremely dark poetry...and so much of it is truly 
love poetry...i can't use any literary figures as examples, because i'm 
not really hip on them...just Shakespeare, pretty much...so i have to 
stick to contemporaries that i am familiar with...some might disagree w/me 
that Robert Smith is a singer and not a poet, but i'll have you know that 
since he writes most of his own lyrics, he is considered a poet to me...

the point i'm trying to make here, batt, is that if you are good at dark 
poetry, stick w/it!  i prefer to write dark poetry if and when i actually 
do write, and it usually comes at a time when i'm feeling that 
numbness...so to me i guess it's a good kind of numb...

just my fraction of a nickel's worth....<-----(who got us all started on 
this anyhow???? heheheh)
