Poems
Apr 2014
--(x)--
There was once a light bulb
That illuminated the room.
Its voltage tore through my skin,
But I smiled through the searing pain.
Time wore it down
Because He gripped too tightly-
And it began to flicker.
It would grace me with its lovely presence,
Stingily and briefly,
Then drape me in darkness the next moment.
The intervals graduated and distanced.
I was beginning to think that I would never see the light again.
Then the day came
When the light bulb consumed itself whole,
Along with all the light that it brought.
I was right,
But I did not want to be.
Title is a circuit symbol
