Out Of Light

Out Of Light

A Poem by Rosalind Gale

The cracks in my hands are black -
As I mourn everything you once were.
The fireplace is sunk in ash,
All clocks have struck dead -
Our house pales
As the cold blunt sun dies
With me.

Poignant and chilling write. I especially love your flair for captivating the reader with your first line- you do this so effectively in each poem, that in itself is miraculous talent... "Our house pales, as the cold blunt sun dies- with me." Stunning! It is few and far between when I read just a line that strikes me so emotionally and vividly. This is such a cerebral and inventive write, each line is a touchingly melancholic imagine of itself. It's as if Salvador Dali painted his grief in words- this is what he would say, I believe. Exceptional write, Rosalind, I really love this.

Fine poem, the title reminds me of the Rolling Stones song,but you are probably too young to remenber that, lots of fine imagery, a powerful short poem with lots to offer.

every line is just so evocative to the voice within, and through the mood of piece.
i think it so very emotive.
