DARKNESS EMBRACED

DARKNESS EMBRACED

I WALKED into darkness and she embraced me
all the while her eyes kept looking for weakness
I stayed for a while and shared a cup of tea

I politely told her that I could only stay
for 4 or 5 years and not a day more -- you see
it was enough for her if enough for me

on the last day darkness wept to lose a friend
but I embraced her cold hands and kissed her lips
and said I loved her melancholy but must leave to live
