Why does sleep evade me, wearing me down, What can calm my thoughts and being, When will I not struggle with the piercing light How will I be ever be able to leave the shadow. Is there something I should be seeing That will draw my soul from the night Maybe a beacon shining I might follow Or a bell's crisp clear calling sound. At times I feel I can't continue to fight My spirit has faded and become shallow In the vice of life I have been finely ground, My hope imprisoned never freeing. Darkness holds me to the marrow And to the lightlessness I am bound So tight that there's no fleeing My only prospect is the twilight. Gloom |

smiling here--y'know what you need, doncha? Y'gotta get you one of these little old ladies with indomitable spirit. They tend to shame a person into living life. *hugs prof* |

Thank you, Serenity, Always a pleasure to see you commenting beneath my humble words As for the little old lady shaming me I am without shame And shamelessly I go into the darkness Carrying with me my feeling of gloom Extinguishing flames of hope to lightless Just by entering into a hope filled room, Am I then to blame? Perhaps Perhaps not, Gloom and sorrow might just be my drug addiction Not a needle but a dark emotion Drank cup by dragon cup. Thank you, Skyshine Pleased you found them worthy of comment Gloom |

Very nice Gloom. The first stanza really gets me, I like. Good work. Cheers - Ed “True absurdism is not less but more real than reality” |
