Why are your poems so sad Jude?

Why are your poems so sad Jude?

You ask of me
why are your
poems so sad?
Even the moonĀ 
shining in full wonder
has a darksideĀ 
that it keeps hidden.
All the countless stars
that watch over
Us since the first night
fade in theĀ 
waking hours of day.
I think whatĀ 
you wanted to ask me
is am I as sad as my poems?
I answer with a poem
Ask the moon
what it has seen
Ask the stars
what they have
witnessed.Ā 
And know that
even poems
are only white
Until the dark inkĀ 
spills onto the paper.

I've spent weeks trying to fit what you just said into a convenient little poem, the beginning was perfect the ending was perfect...you just beat me to the punch lol...a wonderful poem indeed for what is light without darkness, these are my favorite lines: "And know that
even poems
are only white
Until the dark inkĀ 
spills onto the paper"

You have my gratitude for wording the subject in such an exceptional manner

Much love, Curious

I've always loved your poetry Jude, never really considered your poems sad, for the most part they are brilliant expressions and points of views, this one I think may be my favourite from you, lots of vibrant expression here, and a sense of wanting to be interactive, it reads well, enjoyed it quite a lot...cheers Jude
