    Poem Commentary

    Sensory poem about a past experience.

    Lights Out

     Voices that chatter,
    Diaphragms that give off giggles.
    Little trickles of rain
    All around me.
    I , I am no longer laughing.
    A nice comfort
    Turns into
    An evil betrayal,
    Laughter to tears.
    Over these cries and sighs,
    Colors of white
    Blind my eyes.
    I can't shake the feeling,
    I might not be forgiven tonight.
    The scent of alcohol and piped-tobacco
    Fills the room.
    Paint and callused hands cover me,
    Dilated eyes that crawl.
    Salty dew falls against me,
    Like the tears running over my top lip.
    The taste of you;
    Like sweet rum and disgust!
    Eye-lids fluttering...
    Shutters shuttering...
    Lights out.
