disguise.[osi]

' light '

the night consumes my existence
just a quaint nothingness
flickering echoes of my mind
like a chant voice your name

but through the blackness i see still
your myriad hues of love
the mutational colors of life
in undisguised beauty

as this lonely moonless darkness
a blessing in disguise
an absence defining the glow
of the light i crave for ..

    Sometimes I have found the night to clarify the colors of love; other times, to obliterate those colors.

    I sometimes view night as a veil under which you can renew.
    Loved this.

    Hi Zoya--
    What I have been noticing in my few short weeks of participaint on OSI, is the depth of feeling that your poetry consistently illustrates. You don't shy back from the darkness.

    Thank you, immensely--
