Back to black

Back to black

A Poem by Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere
"

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are. J.K. Rowling

"














Back to black

to have to miss the colours

to choose between the dark or darkness

my eyes are denying any shades of grey

 

back to black

the Apus is shooting his song

while showing the intensity of his feathers

the last is simply erased from my head

 

back to black

my drink is hardly darker

than the pencil in my hand

that writes in jet black or sable

 

back to black

the searching for a light

disappoints me colourless

not a thing that catches the dreary eye

 

back to black

nothing can be discerned

no patters in uniformity

here counts only the rule of the Dark

 

go back to black

go back to black

go back to black…
