James Fraser Poet Couplet

Into the Black

For me burning daylight invites me to the black
It's not that I don't like daylight, for I'll never lack

If I'm ever to prowl whether it's amidst the dark, light
It's being the cleverest, within either I'm out of sight

Have you ever walked behind someone oh so quiet
Can you simply imagine, their strolling quiet riot

To even stand beside, in an Otis lift, we're alone
We in burning daylight, whom does whom belong

Sitting in a restaurant, all alone with no chaperon
Whether it's burning daylight, who does who own

For me burning daylight invites me to the black
To venture into the black, then I'll soon relax

Emile Pinet May 19, 2015 at 1:05 PM Your words cling to the reality that has been brought to your existence with a firm grip, pulling the reader into the dark. Emile. James Fraser May 29, 2015 at 1:38 PM Thank you kindly Emile, I so appreciate your comments, James :)

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser May 12, 2015 at 7:52 PM huge James, love the use of oxymorons here.. the twin phrases of who and who plus the use of rhymes... cleverly done making lines deep and intriguing but powerful in a way.. A good take on the theme.. :) ((hugs)~olive eloisa James Fraser May 29, 2015 at 1:37 PM A slight detour back to my Dark writing Olive. Many of my Dark poems lead back to the Light. I kinda like writing such, hugs always Oliz // James xx
