give her back the night (senryû)


 
embraces the dark,
drowns in the sulking
blues 
*
blues
common bedfellows
moaning the night 
*
wearing night,
sleeps not alone with
moody blues
*
 a blinding glow
an empty star soon
steals the night

  1. The light from the empty star really gave me pause -- it's hopeful but not hopeful in the same moment. And then I heard the last line of the song -- and ouch - - was that the empty star's blinding light? Ouch, ouch.

    Drowning in our blues -- moaning the world around -- a Sunday night, indeed ....

    1. Thanks so much for taking the time to get into this one...if you look at the one on my "other" blog, I combined the two last prompts but added a more personal narrative. You might enjoy it.

  6. Embracing the dark - drowns in the sulking - blues ... sounds like a heavy moment indeed ... the blues mean to me melancholy and with this mix - and the choice of the song - wearing night ....

    1. Hours of the some "blues" is like watching 2 or 3 tear jerker movies and releasing the toxins:)
