all the lights

all the lights

A Poem by highonwords




all the lights are not enough,
to keep me from your darkness,
i knew from the beginning,
you would be hard to know,
i could never change you,
if i don't change, myself,
i am light, scattering you,
so you would get lost in me,
all my parts, protracted
my heart, unimpeded, a storm
up an altitude of longing,
the rapids, to your breakwater,
a lighthouse of hands,
pulling you in, close to me,
before we fade into darkness

When it comes to love, unity of the couple in everything is very important. Both parties should be the light of each other. If you feel you are alone, then something is not right in a relationship.
Splendid!

Beautiful words: a serenade of pure hope and desire, gently, genuinely put. That final line is magical.

its like a very constrained feelings jump-packed into a short poem, that's what i like in a poem, no matter how short it is, its still has an epic tale to tell behind all those metaphors and beautiful imagery... we all have darkness to light-on upon ourselves, that's why we build lighthouse in the very core of our soul... very well put, kabayan...
