When darkness filled my window pane And shadows flickered through my brain The memories returned to tease They mocked me; I could not appease I did not know you were not sane When darkness filled my window pane You lurked and cowered in the night You stole far more than was your right I waited when the lights went out Your whisper shot out like a shout When darkness filled my window pane So quietly you’d call my name I hated you when all would sleep The secrets I was taught to keep In nightmare moments you remained When darkness filled my window pane - Alison |

Thank you, Margherita. Know what? I want to sleep in a few more hours, that's what I really want. Why does morning come so often in the ....morning? And why do airplanes leave at 1:00 am and people have to be taken to the airport? Sorry, I got lost in a bit of a whine here. xoxoxo Love, Alison |

Smiling. Tell me to stay up till 2am but don't ask me to get out of the bed at 6am ... though dawn is a breathtaking spectacle and when I am up I do enjoy it (but that does not happen often!). I do understand you! Hugs Margherita |

Can't help but think this poem is about incest. Do correct me if I'm wrong. Underneed the rythm and rhyme I read a grieving story of abuse. Still it's a most intriguing write. |

another good read, especially since I love rhythm and rhyming... though except for espionage, I wonder if it is ever good to keep secrets... You are writing very well! M |

Thank you all. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments. It's interesting how varied the responses are on this poem. I won't elaborate on it as I think it's best to just let people read it for what they believe it is all about. Again, thank you. Alison |

I hated you when all would sleep The secrets I was taught to keep In nightmare moments you remained When darkness filled my window pane I think we all bring our experiences to our interpretations... and mine have me wanting to give you a hug even as I applaud the excellence of each line. |

That is excellent. I'll not go into what it says to me, but it says it so well. |

Alison, I have to tell you, girlfriend, the images that are playing through my mind make me want to jump into my monitor and go give you a comforting hug and rock you into a gentle, peaceful sleep. I hope this is just poetry ~ albeit VERY good poetry!!!  Love and a warm hug, Linda  |

Alison....Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy too. You've written a sad song perhaps, but with dignity and grace. |

Deligful!!! A friend once told me, "When I have a resentment against someone, I am allowing them live in my head rent free." |
