Light
Light –
I wondered about
the light you
cast on me.
With its rays
Green Yellow
White.
Wonder whether
the rays origin
are below
or Above ?
Sometimes they are
warm – felt them
on my skin
Like winter sun
cast through
my mother’s room
window glass
panes – white
metal – held
Where once, I lay as a
child, on deep maroon purple
carpet – watched the
Sheets of daylight
Rays rain on the
Skin of face
cheeks
eyes- lids squint
child – to see
the fascination –
Light – light
in cool of winter
…those days …
You would not know
fathom remember
Envisage
Unbeknown –
I have envisaged you
Many times .
Swing of keys
Daytime tasks
Evening rush
Relaxing – now
And then again.
Through a mirror – behind
the glass – Listened
WATCHED – (saw )
Love – I have seen
things unbeknown to
You –
Things…
Wondering and watching
The light resting
on my skin
turned my head
swift – left
seen the
darkness in
your heart.
Full of rage
Submerged in
A sea –
I have not known
My light
Your light
They are opposed.
Like black and white.
One day they will
merge to grey
dissipate to
white mist.
With it –
I leave you
Both
Hope.
Hope.
