Dark Room




The cobwebs of last night
linger on threateningly
While the dusty memories
refuse to budge
You wait for
the godforsaken light
The only welcome you get
is the cold, glaring sight
A frozen dew
keeps you company
In the midst of skeletons
you look for a sign of life
It disappoints you, yet again
with sinister delight
A wail, a scream
and you are back to reality
The blood-churling dream
was a far-off realm
