kokopelleThe poem “Only Blackness” was inspired by a friend’s method of writing music in a darkened room.
Only Blackness
The darkness holds a special place
for the artist in search of grace
when only blankness is at hand
matching bleakness of the night
the artist lurks as consequence
seeking words to put to page
or notes delivered to inky space
to fulfill the urge to share
the requisite hangs above
an emptiness of the heart
with past works long divorced
from the shadows of the now
cloak of dusk becomes the muse
gloom declaring what lays beyond
with a voice no longer mute
creations birthed at long last.
