Rain soaked dark cloaked walking home, In soul’s pain Walks the twilight streets alone, Unnoticed in shadows stride, Full of pain That the darkness can not hide. Laughter spills from local bars, He walks on, Unconcerned with rushing cars That swerve to avoid his pace He walks on Stone expression holds his face. The dark door yields to his key Silent place, Where all the sorrow won’t flee But captured in memories, In this place, Where spirit will always be. He hangs up his cloak to dry, And it drips, Like it also had to cry Just too filled with the sorrow As he slips To an unknown tomorrow. Soon the steady drips will end, Then drying, Another day will begin As the world keeps it’s spin No crying, No new tears down cheeks he’ll send. The now is pools on the floor, Splashing down, Puddles gather by the door Nowhere near to drain from sight, Without sound Lingering throughout the night. Gloom |
