Darkness unfolds Light

Darkness unfolds Light

A Poem by JRB
"

The darkness of my cultural ties

"

 

Loneliness will conceal and obscure its self

In the impoverished emotions of love

Sadden at the moment of its birth

It lays deathless in a state of confusion

While longing for its self

Existence

 

Yet wanting death to be its just reward

It lives well and survives

Only to find that more often than not

Even thru the unaffected Life

In which beholds it

Loneliness resides

In the end

 

As the wings of life, unfold

From the darkness within

They seem to cast off

Its shadows

Of an unwanted emotion

From the thoughts

Of my past made present

 

Merely to find that it stands out

Within the light of your attendance

As well as in

The darkness of my cultural ties

Ever embracing the whispers

From the clouds of my mind

 

I hear

And

I cherish every sigh

So skillfully given

So encompassing

So alive

 

Your words

Are sounds of just emotions

Falling back

Upon ears that turned away

Only to hear

What was said

 

You have caressed

Me so divinely,

I feel your presence,

In the depths

Of my being

And

Long for more

I admire your dyslexia and what it brought you, I myself had a very bad stutter for many years that taught me many things.

You have some revelatory power I see and a soft pen.
