the african sky,
red and amber,
and sickly sweet,
send off the day,
in a inferno of sun and cloud.
the oranges and maroons,
caress my eyes,
and lull my mind
into a serene meditation.
and then i think of you,
and i remember how many times,
the fading light of day,
was something we shared.
and now,
the colours drain away,
and the cold crawls up my calves,
and the memories a bitter pill.
you stole this from me,
a love i had of a beatifull dusk.
a gift from the sky,
to envelop my senses.
you plundered something so sacred,
and engraved your name upon it.
so that i can only see you,
when the day draws closed.
you give and take,
you are a frantic tide.
a dark vacuum,
devouring my light.
and i let you.
