Extinguished

My lamp
extinguished.
darkness
blindfolds 
and robs me
of all 
but that 
which throbs 
flows and 
breathes 

within me.

lamp

The dancing brilliance 
of my little lamp
holds me 
spellbound
the wind battles
my doors in
angry defiance
the wick burns low
and I am trapped

in the breathless
agony of this
hopeless love
