Hostage In Darkness

Hostage in Darkness I lie in the darkness for you are not here I need to dream so I can persevere I see in my dream the blackness prevail Your deepset dark eyes and your ebony hair And breath of your complexion bathed in sweet brown Recalling the times we walked hand in hand A garden of lilies along the land Your body contrasting the white lighted hue Then you left me one day and the colors withdrew Dark shades of lament and the sad loss of you Eerie and fearful I cannot deter What lit up our love is now a dense blur I wallow in black in a grayish dun Perchance I will see your face in the sun In the Dark Contest Contest Sponsored by Russell Sivey September 19, 2017
