I am sorry for my cozenage.
It was small of me and yet smaller
still the failure
to sufficiently sing the sting of your absence.
A soaked wet blanket sky smothers
my eyes. And I, like a grey day
which greedily
holds every raindrop, cannot weep.
I ask for the grace
your beauty sings. Forgive
and ford the gulf separating you from me.
Friendship brings laughter but is no laughing
matter. The trust and time
invested makes us all
miserly of kindness.
End the exile and come home
to these eyes. Speak
so I may see you again. My Doom in every sense,
a
domain of light and articulated beauty, I beg to return.
I cast these pearls
on the run. Hoping they borrow
fire from the Sun and find favor in your
eyes, ebon(not blue).

David, Despite a few enjambments ... you offer a remarkably authentic write. I adore your "Soggy blanket"; heart rendering confessions; and the currency of ideas are a refreshing departure for you.
I'd love you dropping format into more prose.
The (not blue) negates ending. I'd love to see the powerful "I am sorry for my cozenage." finish the write. Pura vida, Sarai
