White

by Sandra C. Herbert

Being allusive--
hiding the truth
keeping all decisions mine.
Blanketing me,
dancing seductively
in a choreographed
spontaneous way.
Revealing my light,
only my light
But my darkness shines through--
Does my darkness shine through?
You inspire me,
appeal to me.
It's the way you shine
and the way you have no idea that you do.

The Author

I recently graduated from George Mason University with a BA in English and a Minor in Psychology. I have been writing poetry for about two years and find that driving in my car with the music on is when poems speak to me. "White" was written one morning driving to school. No revisions were needed for this poem, it is exactly as it came to me. Driving while writing poetry: Bad for driving, Good for poetry.
