And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath

Ghost,
Shapeless,
Shadow,
Hidden form,
Master less,
Yet not free,
Crow,
Or raven,
Too soon to tell,
Or some other being,
With blackened wings,
Coward,
You just borrow the colour black,
To fill your emptiness,
It rules you,
Not me.

I know Black is not a colour,
But a shade.

Keep running dear,
The night may be long,
But the sun won’t wait forever.

© Chris C., Milford, CT

The author's comments:
Generally, I'm a very gullible person. I get sucked into some one's story to the extent that its impossible for me even think about the possibility that its anything but the truth. But distance, time, reality... They have a way of making you reconsider how well you really knew the person you spent your summer with.
