The Darkness of Dark

TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)



The Darkness of Dark

I sat and I pondered the darkness of dark
The gloomy obscurity that's also quite stark

Dark is the blackness of isolation found
Murkiness is shaded by darknesses sound

Seclusion , delusion , eclipsing the night
Becoming the essence of possible fright

No shadows resemble the consciences there
As shadiness shades seems not give a care

Light eclipse darkness, hope strikes despair
It's time for me to realize that I should not visit there
