Alan .S. Jeeves

Inside a Darkened Room

A darkened room knows no sorrow

No today and no tomorrow;

A darkened room has no sadness

It has no pain, only madness.

 

A darkened room has no light

Has no moon or starlight bright;

A darkened room has no shine

Has no lustre, yours or mine.

 

A darkened room has no good

Has no heartbeat, has no blood;

A darkened room has no breath

Has no life but only death.

 

A darkened room has no style

Has no simper, has no smile;

A darkened room has no grin

Has no easiness within.

 

A darkened room has no day

Has no notion, has no say;

A darkened room has no eve

Has no reason to believe.

 

A darkened room has no PC

It has no he or has no she;

A darkened room has no view

Has no me or has no you.
