dark shadows

my world is so dark

nighttime has pulled its shade

my eyes are wide open

but right now there's a thunderstorm in both pupils

and i'm either blinded by the crash or

the pitch within

forever feels like waiting

home doesn't seem close enough

wondering when the stars will start

and i have an internal dialogue

the reasoning waiting for light

tap into my imagination

there you are

my break in the front

the clouds step aside and

let you walk in

roll me in your cosmic mania

let's eclipse each other tonight

guide me to the red spot

you know i've never been known for Mercury

the contraction of an orbit

where things are always dark

I read this poem to my 28 year old son as I read it for the first time. He was in awe of it. Welcome to my cosmic mania! Climb aboard, let the search begin. And just how dark is dark my friend!!!

ur poem is really nice write, do have a look to mine "QUEST OF LIFE"-
" it is about how one neglects his life ,pondering about this precious gift of nature unnecessarily ".
