Lights Out
You turned out the lights
Turned off your love
The brightness dimmed
The sun lost its ardour
Its warmth and light cast hesitantly
It seems now
The moon is a sallow ghost
Anaemic in the gloomy sky
The stars blink tears
The rainbow is tattered and faded
Like Joseph’s coat after the betrayal
The fire in the hearth is frail
It spawns no heat
The wind has lost its song
And the willows wail in silence
It is as though
You not only turned off the lights
You took the radiance of love
Away with you
And I search in vain
For that spark

love...trying to grow from it...knowing...only then...the
experience becomes a "reward"...a new hue of love...Creates
an emotional spark with reader through metaphors...and posted message...desire for love is the motive force for action...
Thank you Regis, for sharing your thoughts provoking, creative
poem; never know when the spark is about to hit you again.
Blessings!
