Dusk brings with it the dread of the approaching dark <br /> <br />The promise of the fiery red dawn tomorrow holds no consolation for me <br /> <br />The vastness of the dreary cold shadows linger and eats my soul <br /> <br />The promise of tomorrows joys hold no light for me <br /> <br />I lie on my back taking it all in <br /> <br />Words, phrases, actions, everything has just become a big farce for me <br /> <br />My thoughts wander aimlessly in the hot arid desert <br /> <br />The promise of an oasis somewhere makes no difference to me <br /> <br />I take a lonely walk along the mighty fuming sea <br /> <br />But all the treasures that it holds fail to captivate me <br /> <br />The mountains tower majestically all around my vicinity <br /> <br />But the depths of the valleys is all that saddens me <br /> <br />Enchanting maiden’s suggestively beckon me <br /> <br />But to their amazement they get no resonance from me <br /> <br />My innermost fears I try to quell and conquer <br /> <br />As I climb the steps of this galaxy stretched before me <br /> <br />Life when it becomes a blur looks beautiful they say <br /> <br />Well it has slowed to a crawl and stretched itself a furlong before me<br /><br />Leonard Rebello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-23/
