charcoal grey, midnight black
all around me
no light getting in,
no love getting out.
blue-white, ice cold.
no warmth to be found.
anywhere.
darkness my only friend.
my life.
Peacock brilliance, rainbow hued
now fills my days.
The sun shines
with a sparkling incandescence.
The warmth of a thousand candles
lights my way in the dark.
Your love is my guide, my map,
my existence.
Iridescence in the night.
My life.
My love.
