Sorrow's embrace

Sorrow's embrace;

The long silence of a full moon night-

The reading light, a mature whiskey to bitter moonshine.


Stillness,

Sans the sound of the ceiling fan,

The aircon. a whimpering ghost behind dusty curtains.


You,


           You,


                     You,


                           
                                You,



Is
all
that
is
there,

And the sorrow's embrace,
To last a lifetime.
