ONE

1/4

now that you are gone
who will wake every morn
to lift the sun
unveil the sky
etch in the clouds
who will paint the rainbow?

2/4

now that 'us' is just a word
no longer with you as one
i alone wind up metal toys
cut out paper dolls
the beach swept from under my feet
the child in me flees.

3/4

instead now rusted
a fools gold chain of loneliness
hangs around my neck like a noose
mourns a union that once had breath
a twosome that now is dead.

4/4

the moon no longer smiles
the stars no longer wink

in this
my decade of one
hope is a wickless candle

and the night
is just day without light

With Love
Armand Hamouth
