Poems of The Devil's Work

 

I envy The Dark, II

 


I pity the light for trying to enhance You
and bring out any of Your beauty

 

I pity the light for its efforts
in capturing Your radiancy and reflecting it,
for You are impossible to capture

You are relentless, like the light itself
Your inner glow is stronger than anything
and exceeds all around it

 

I pity the day for wanting to enhance You
and bring out the lustre You possess,
for I know it is an assignment in vain
You are the fairest of all, an illusion, a dream,
never to be portrayed in any light
