Night comes in second hands
Two clouds part, making separate rain
In tell tale cold the particles complain
Sullen and silent glides the moon
And always the waters rise in compromise
Full to burst against the sky reaching high
Wanting

Sorrowful oh weeping willow
Boughs the stillness of a good cry
That cannot pour enough to empty
Sobbing and soulful just wisp to the wind
Nothing responds as the universe thinned
In a flat line, just a thread fine, just a thread
Said

Curling in to a pin drop, as the sound
Falls in droplets, each a spot lets the ground
Golden brown frames the wishes poured down
That the velvet of new day could deliver a new way
Given in orange smile, squirt and randy the while
Brought together chalk pictures in vibrant mixtures
Paints

As clearness love will taint with tears
And part the heart in lightning fears
Two clouds that played skies marmalade
And sad the missing part of left unmade
Night comes in second hands
To wrap me tight in hold me lands
Of you

Oh such sadness emanating from every verse.  Reads like a novel’s middle.  Needing the beginning and a conclusion:

“As clearness love will taint with tears
And part the heart in lightning fears
Two clouds that played skies marmalade
And sad the missing part of left unmade
Night comes in second hands
To wrap me tight in hold me lands
Of you”

Beautiful!!

Yes, I agree with JL wholeheartidly...
but...the ending, especially the very last line...astounding...I loved this so much

Incredible write!

As clearness love will taint with tears
And part the heart in lightning fears
Two clouds that played skies marmalade
And sad the missing part of left unmade
Night comes in second hands

To wrap me tight in hold me lands
Of you

Wow!  That last line speaks for itself...and you have written a composition of great wealth!

Thank you for sharing.

Night comes in second hands
To wrap me tight in hold me lands
Of you

nature has its way of soothing somehow when we find those hold me lands within its
open arms for us
beautiful and just sighful bliss
