cry by Peter Humphreysin the moon
filled room
I sit by
candles
lit I
write
this poem
of loss
and
longing
in my
mindÂ’s
eye where
people
die and
lovers
love no
more
I stir
the fading
embers
bright
and curse
the brightness
of a
night
where
I can
hide no
more
in that
moon-filled
room
I sit
shadows
cast on
cold
bleak floor
I cry
the cry
I cried
no
more
