Poetry by Daphne Riddle
A night in September
surrounded by water
that’s when we first sparked
gentle as ever
I never felt better
meeting your light with my dark
your hands in my hair
that shirt that you wear
our love summed up in parts
the sparks aren’t there
and I wish that you’d care
I’m lost here in the dark
I look for you everywhere
and you just carry on
I’m questioning all those years
but all I really want
is floating in September
with all of the fish
and the stars
and the songs
and the sparks
