Light

Light

A Poem by Taubah Blackman
"

indulging into a power beyond myself, and finding lost bits of myself within it.

"

come here to me.. take the world away.

drift me to the planes of life, where thoughts no longer stray.

uplift the darkness stagnant, in the corners where we sleep.

to drift along the colors, of the swaying tears that seep.


play for me the melody, to dance the pain away.

stroke in me the essence, that pleads my soul to stay.

and in it, in me, find the laughter, truth did steal.

and find inside this core, an emptiness surreal.


for truth but steals loves' presence, as you sleep with eyes of wonder.

to find the darkness fall inside, like trembling hearts of thunder.


and they wonder at the echo's, of the dangers in my mind.

while I lay inside a shell of years, to fight the flow of time.


indulging in the questions, of what life we live? What for?

in yearning do these answers flow, from pouring thoughts that roar.


in You I smell the sweetness that the strangers travel to.

in You the drops do linger from the flowers kiss of dew.

in You my soul does run to find the truth it sought in fear.

in You my world does come to find the secret in its tear.

in You the joyous music arises from visions far,

to sway along the currents of the blast of evenings' star.

in You the knife does slip away before the tears crawl down in red.

in You the strokes of softness come to stroke my weary head.

in You i find the answers as my heart does cry in shouts

in You the gift of life does breathe to let the demons out.

in You the showers cover me in the down pour of this night

in You i find a distant dream of a childs' innocence and light.
