    in a darkened room

    i see nothing but grey
    and dust floating through
    a darkened room


    with the drapes pulled tight
    a single ray of light
    shown into a darkend room


    stale air thick and grim
    sombre thoughts swim
    through a darkened room


    closed off and handicaped
    crippled and attacked
    by the mood in a darkened room


    self contained... myself is safe
    so i remain
    consumed by this darkened room

    I enjoy darkness because it allows me to see, if that makes sense to you then we understand one another. I like how you approach this subject, Dano. Thanks for being a poet.
