You,
the beacon
in my darkness
my lifebuoy you, kept
me afloat as I sank deeper
within the oceans of
sorrow

you,
rescued me
as I drowned circling
the tides of confusion,
always encouraging me to
swim for the shore of
crystal clear, into
your arms of
consolation

and I,
will warm
your wintered days,
quiet those howling winds
light up the darkest skies
with shimmering
diamonds
bright

to
capture
the fall of your
wave-like tears of regret,
to motion your sound
of laughing as we,
sail the ageless

ship of
friend

Angel of darkness,
Can I land at your well marked port? ... kidding...
I loved the images here particularly
wintered days, howling winds, shimmering diamonds amongst others... you could easily guess my favorite stanza then ... eh?

regards,
sudhir
