Light and Dark

Hilary Uhl 1985 (Philadelphia, PA)

Blank verse
The ever present love I hold within my breast illuminates,
encapsulates and lays my fears to rest.
My heart will have no other, though my body may protest.
I’ll wait until the stars no longer shine.
In the darkness my love, you’re always mine.
