PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am twilight -

a luminous afterthought

that questions the need for night

distorting all perspective.



I am sorrow -

an abandoned body

keening for a heartbeat

to renew the rhythm of my life.



I am chagrin -

a naked entreaty

for love or a credible promise

of some fidelity.



I am shame -

a disobedient secret

shimmering in unpredictable

rip tides of regret.



I am punishment and pain

and fierce desire

- I am faltering fire -

the genetic fear of night.



I am twilight

for the rest of your life.
