You've swathed me in not understanding
what made the terrible darkness
descend upon our everlasting light
and love
You've hidden yourself away
like hiding in the eye of the sun
I cannot find you
I have fears
my thoughts are many
and they are
one and all nightmarish in scope
You've taken the stars from my sky
and only you
can flip the switch
and turn them on again

artfully dark and forboding...
I hope the light will return...

May the stars shine again for you, dear Jerry, hopefully even brighter than before ...

This is highly emotional ... and quite scary just like the picture!

Jerry
This is very sad but with that type of sadness always comes some sort of mystic beauty and we continue to write about it.
Good writing my friend.

Yeah, I know Eric, but I have written the dark poetry for so long I was very happy to give light and love a chance. Thanks, man, for stopping by and commenting.
