Thieves Of Light (rev)

fear

thieves of light
those words
an agony absorbing energies
a silence destitute

I heard the sigh
before the light
went out
my ears denied
the death I heard

the past had died –
is
passed
and gone into the night

dear heart, you said,
and I had
loved
you too

    I really like this.

    My brain immediately starts analyzing thinking what does it mean. Then another part says, no, no, just read and enjoy. Don't think.

    So all I can say is I like this.

  2. Thanks Matt - the whole thing it is tied to the past tense iteration of the last strophe...
