How is this room dark
with all these lights?
The sun itself
couldn't put out this night.
It springs eternal
and blankets
with blackest hue...
...where I can derive a comfort
in the blankness
of sinking under the threshold
of mood.
Respite in numbness.
In dousing the fire
of Feeling,
in eking out a way
To succumb this heart
to indifference.
To steal away from abundance
and hide
in the vacuum
of Nothing.
Interesting poem.
Nicely stared emotional piece.
