Close Out the Light Poem

So long, blinking in the quietness,

wandering for time without count,

gaps appear in the night to remind

you are there still, waiting to walk in.

Curious light peers through the chinks

and I race to block the holes one by one.

Close out the light, block the dreams,

tomorrow is not where you belong

stay in yesterday with the pain and joys.

Pedestals in my mind suit you best

sweet angel of mercy and sorrow!

Dreams are supposed to bring hope,

don't visit any on me, please!

Shut out the sun and moon's glow

Sepulcheral solemnity suits me fine.

Ghostly rhythms in my heart for light

is enough to hold me against the cold.

Bring down the shades over my eyes

but not because I love the dark!

Do it to show kindness to one

addicted to your Incandescence.
