Untitled (1988)
The wantings, fading
The future, closing
All I see is black
for me my dear,
You lit your nights,
Leaving me blind
behind - totally lost,
Your light shining upon
some stranger's
darknight
But the darkest one
is under your skin
And I hope it burns
until time's end.
The future, closing
All I see is black
for me my dear,
You lit your nights,
Leaving me blind
behind - totally lost,
Your light shining upon
some stranger's
darknight
But the darkest one
is under your skin
And I hope it burns
until time's end.

dang...the darkest one is under your skin...nice bite to that...esp if she is lighting someone elses night...
Ouch. And your pic adds to this poem.
Bright lights and black holes. ... what a way to describe an ex. I'd say you're completely "over" that one. Well phrased, clever executions of language leading to the climax. Well done!
"All I see is black
for me my dear,
You lit your nights"
ohhh this is Hemingway-ish.
wish I wrote it.
