the black night and the white knightA Poem by sea lily
you held me, tightly
in the black and white night between worlds her bed their old bedroom, posters still taped above my head. they were beautiful and cold we cling, and gasp eternal beings, so far apart from the twilight anger bitter rage. when we met, i was young, and fresh. impressionable. tell me, what part of me still commands your gaze and fervour? you used to say "i don't deserve her..." but babies swelled and knowledge grew weary hands, they worked and hair fell short shorn and bold i was born anew. (he loved me like the forest loves the rain i grew intoxicated the scent that rose between us and eyes locked, where lips never would. did he love my innocence? no, that he never knew he loved the stories that unfolded from my memory and i loved him. oh i loved him.) we become, one being here in this heartbreaking intimacy the devastating truth i am your woman, through and through.
