Inky blackness shrouds the sky <br />The world is painted gray <br />And in the night <br />The moon a scythe <br />Cleaves ripples in the bay. <br /> <br />The stars pin-pricks of pointed spears <br />Poised for flight in purple space <br />Enhance the darkness <br />Of the night <br />And pierce the stones upon the graves. <br /> <br />Darkness all around is death <br />And death is darkness everywhere; <br />Loneliness <br />Pervades the gloom <br />And hostile is the murky air.<br /><br />Tan Pratonix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sombre-mood/
