In my hour of darkness

My hour of darkness
Love is all I ask for…

I ask not for money or golden rings
or any other material thing
What ask of you cost far far less
A little light in my hour of darkness

It won’t take years or hours of time
To help bring comfort to my mind
And fill this void of loneliness
A little light in my hour of darkness


Not for the moon in my right hand
nor the sun in my left
Or any such task beyond your depth
Within your scope and effortless
A little light in my hour of darkness


An order not too short nor tall
Someone to love and be my all
and to ease my pain and sadness
Some light in my hour of darkness


I feel not that I ask too much
A kiss, a huge or a gentle touch
A brief moment of tenderness
Just a little light in my hour of darkness
