spectral

' flame '

a spectral darkness
where passions grope quietly
for the light of love

in the spectral light
of a flickering moment
all the darkness drowns ..

    "where passions grope quietly"

    I love this line. Contradictory in the urgency and secrecy, but all the time retaining the deep private intimacy of the moment.

    I tell you this Zoya, your poetry never disappoint me, as I find it so refreshing. Darkness and Light spectral, you used it well!
