Darkness

I welcome 
darkness; 
it covers 
the tears, 
liquid memories 
which ooze out 
of blue dreams 
then touch my lips, 
where I taste salt 
that reminds me 
of the essence 
and the spirit 
that’s dying 
in this 
darkness 
I welcome.

Hi Darlene, thanks for understanding, this is another poem that was written when I was dealing with an almost overwhelming sense of loneliness and depression. Writing was my way of dealing with it. It has taken me 15 years to get up the courage to share these poems. Even then, they need work to be good enough to share. Enjoy your day! Ron
