A NIGHT TRACE (written in negative capacity)

I burnt my eyes with the soot
That lined your lips
Incensed my being
With the smoke of your heart

Your mist, your vapour
I drank; I died, in me,
Purging myself out with you
So becoming of you, to you.
With you!

My eyes dazzling with coal
Seeing with black, seething with Kohl
We never saw that night, our night was near
it’s catharsis into a day

The sun stood tinsel high
On a pedestal judging humility
Juries blinded with light
They asked, they sneered, they pronounced!

Case dismissed!

My love lined within
Black playing with red
And it died in me,
To live with me, in me!

How I wished you had never laughed!

How I wished I had less to remember
Less to recall, to fall
Oh I wish I had none of you at all

Now when my eyes…disobey me
And give out in blue, all my dreams of black
Not psychedelic yore
But my black, deep, blue dreams of black,

Shade of my eyes…waiting for black light
My black shining night

Please, not the lights yet
Please don’t put on the light
Let me smell my black, my shade
Let me have my night, let me sing my night, my light!

I shall have you not then
When you fade with light
When you die in night!

The song ends here!
