Dark light

On a pitch dark night

Under the heavy blanket of dark clouds

On a dark alley

With little provocation from too many a sip of wine

With no curious bystanders to instill fear of reproach

Decorum thrown to the wind

No dark thoughts to deter us

I found a willing partner or did  she find me?

On a dark ground

Away from the shining lights of the dark city

Our lips did brush

Lightly at first; but mad passion soon took over

I dint see your face; you dint see mine either

I dint catch your name, did you mine?

Methinks you dint offer it, could I be right?

The well defined contours of your body is all my hands remember

In the dark conduct, I found light

In my moment of weakness, I found a gem

In my moment of failure I found success

In my moment of insanity, I found rational

It’s not the sweet singing of the birds that woke me

It’s not the first rays of the sun hitting against my skin either

It wasn’t the cold breeze that was sweeping either

It was the realization that you were gone

Instead of your soft skin against mine

Instead of a charming smile to begin my day

Instead of the promise of a grander tomorrow

There lay a hopeless man

I don’t know if all ever see you again

Don’t even know where to look for you

Don’t know if it happened

or if it’s just the fervent dreams of a desperate man

One thing I do know though

Is that you exist

That though I know nothing about you

I know enough to want you in my life for life

Am not always like that

I won’t judge you either

Just let me see you one more time

To quench the flame in my heart
