Bitter sky burning eyes
Irony life too cruel
no words balm wounds
emotional bedsores

all things must move
denying atrophy
inspires anger but the
world rains only tears

this day forever
choked on heartsblood
die a million dreams
this day this horrid day

known now and forever
        as
Black Anniversary

It is a very special, very personal anniversary. One that only two people could know about. A time when all things were possible, undeniable, apparetnly unstoppable even.
It only turned black this day. And I do not how to change it back to what it once was.

Listen to your heart, I am sure the answers will surface with time, powerful poem. Take care and I hope that the anniversary will once again retain its beauty

"across the unfair divide
where black will never meet white
so read my token lips
like they never exist"

Akin to receipt of a letter edged in black....

have faith, that you may one day again soon see,

the silver and gold....
