Farewell Sickness You left me! Invaluable was the darkness cherished the beloved heart body, mind and half of my age all of it devoted to your love only
and secretly
You crowned me to your queen of darkness I grew up slowly in our palace where I could hide and Stay if I wanted to always with you
Our home the holy eidolon … but a shelter for me as long as you were there
There was where we honored shadows by becoming shadows
The Black Mountain of your teaching was made of the absolute Color of our eternal love
but Love You forgot one thing or didn't you know me well?
Dedicated by desire I climbed that mountain Kept my promise To see the irrefutable To be the unconditional
No You weren't there
You haven't made it that far? or was your share to have me ebb
There was Black as absolute as you said
Stroke my face apart and I fell at once for another at an opposite end
One I became with the luminous cilia of a man a plain man made of brightest light
All of a sudden he came All of a sudden he left
Seeing all of me was possessed
That loss slowly turned me to a sheer pain covering my home with an opposite color of white I got petrified by an equal fever to your love and A battlefield were my heart lodging the war of the tantamount of identical charge repulsion of the supreme dematerialized matter cracked the eye and I died
Colors of all wavelengths between black and white fill that deserted heart now
Yet there is a new spirit sleeping inside Soon she will wake up and sing an ancient lullaby of life not remembering but with a knowing:
*I am of dark and of light not necessarily of good or of bad whatever you make me I will be which matches to which by any color of absolute you’ll be bewitched but virtuous make a difference by your poetry let me be your one magic word until truth is met in heavens
Title is inspired by Man Ray's 'Noire et Blanche' (1926) . I tried to remake a picture for a photo contest recently and that effort also produced this poem :)
