Mine eyes have seen the night
And into it too deep for good
I have watched the mere shadows
Much longer than I should,
And I have seen the creeping
While you were sleeping
And others weeping
Vigil keeping
Mine eyes have seen the night.

Mine eyes have seen in the darkness
The evil motions that are there
I have felt the chill of their evil
That they wish and want to share
I can not stop them from being
I am the only one seeing
And I can’t be fleeing
Vigil keeping
Mine eye have lost their brightness.

Perhaps a lovely sunrise would be of some help, Sir Gloom - Good morning to you and your grand words...

Very Gloomy write, but this is great poetry.

Love,

Thanks Nan,
But not much in the mood for sunrises
Missing those dark rainy days
Where the chill of the drops numb the soul
And my soul could use a bit of numbing
Perhaps I need to return to heavy drinking
Not that that ever solved anything
But it does reduce the clutter on the wine rack

Thank you, Margherita,
Pleased you enjoyed
Gloomy writes are what I do best
The rest
Is but words
Gloom is my soul

certainly know where you are, presently...but with a little love, a look toward the sun, and perhaps a great big bowl of chili, your be back into step? I dunno, do you like chili?

Hugs Gloom...

Enjoyed

Thanks LeeJ,
I enjoy chili
Although mine is somewhat deadly
And I cut back on the Arsenic
(replaced with Scottish bonnets);
but a look toward the sun?
my eyes aren’t that strong
nor my glasses that dark,
but my black curtains protect me well
and there are blinds too
and bars
and
well we urban hermits know how to cope
always listening to that different drummer

The chill and damp
of rain-sodden air
will soon return, Sir...

to each their own,
and to us?

Good poetry
from this sun-ridden
morning...

Whoa, D! Sounds like a very bad night(s). But....I have to say, Gloomy guy, perhaps you are not the only one that sees the incideous shadows creeping all over the planet. There are others. You have lived up to the pen name this morning, most certainly!

Professor, even though this is a "gloomy poem",
it is excellent writing. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
