==========================================================

 

Darkness devours my miserly despondent room. Wide windows covered shutting all luminous light A taciturn thief that stole even the stars. I sigh, a sudden suffering, it steals my sorrow from my eyes. “The Darkened Sky Stole My Tears.” She had left for good, no reason given. Sorrowful soreness cling to my weary heart. I feel a dreadful dirge hurting inside my breast, My humble heart dances a worthless wake. And still no sign of a flash of light in the dark. My heart beats an echo of an illogic rhythm. A mournful lullaby comes and goes in my head. I curse the hush of darkened air, desperate echoes. The mournful dirge suddenly flickers light Through louvers and then I find my dreadful tears.
