Absentia

Come once more and be my light 
Oh lover who abandoned me 
End this darkness of the night 

Once I knew your radiance bright
And dwelt in your embrace 
Come once more and be my light 

Unwritten absence, know my plight
Though your purpose firmly fixed
End this darkness of the night 
 
Unfaithful, I, and short of sight 
Now your mercy do I seek 
Come once more and be my light 

I’ve done for you all that I might
My dry and empty soul now pleads
End this darkness of the night

My body now grows frail and slight 
Yet still you are my heart’s delight 
Come once more and be my light 
End this darkness of the night

Ink Empress Date: 9/29/2023 2:20:00 AM Those opening lines and the depth of emotions flowing throughout this poem left me in awe feeling so much. I read this few times and I couldn’t help but admire the rhymes and rhythm of longing that you’ve articulated so effortlessly! Thank you for writing. Congratulation on winning in my contest
Karen Jones Date: 9/24/2023 2:12:00 PM The longing is strong in this poem. It expresses a powerful yearning. Vulnerable and soul searching. That void I pray will be filled with positive energy be it Godly or otherwise self actualizing. Thanks for sharing.
