sometimes two darks make a light

he wore his strobe light

to precise his own sight

incising surreal

into a savoury byte

she wore lightning cloud

it fireworked the shroud

the diaphanous shield

of cataract crowd

they met late one noon

not a decade too soon

their time in half life

when lit by half moon

they laughingly shied

and together they cried

out relief of their failing

when hopeless they tried

synchronisation

endless illumination

their timing instead

fuelled love’s fascination-

of dark with the dark

love’s company,

divine spark…

        You bet, keep writing your phenomenal works. I am following you but your stuff doesn’t show up in my reader?

      I have thrown so many out…I had to declutter, but oh, the memories. And taping favourite songs from the radio and HATING the way DJs would interrupt…oh the humanity…
