You Have Turned Off The Light Poem by Doris Cornago

You Have Turned Off The Light



Walking through life means

stepping into potholes

Unglamorous pauses from

unaccountable losses...


Riding tandem with you

in blistering pace amidst

drizzles reminds me of whistles

in the middle of a dream...


You are not what you are

when you speak of schemes

you seem like an old man but

when you ride, you are so wild...


Walking, riding, dreaming

are parts of one lifetime

lapses in one moment can cause

morbidity, undue deferment...


You are so cold and I am so warm

my tea has spilled from the cup

and I can't see the colors of love

because you have turned off the light...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was made during an interlude in gaiety. The lull came from an argument on what holds more importance - others or us. The same is the quandary in most relationships. We experience a big contrast - resulting in the conflict - in what a person is from what we imagined him to be. The rude awakening causes us to lose ground, and it takes long before we can get into the mood of love again.
