Be Cruel to Be Kind

by kholinar

Sing, sing oh muse,
bring light diffuse
on half-closed eyes.
Stir storms where calm
has sung its sleepy song.

Let strong hearts break,
our thirst keep
unslaked,
To drive us on
Beyond…

Without the light
we see this night
with no romance
or pretense…

Teach us…
Teach us…
…to sing with the sweet
that is best bought bitter
