Dark clouds descend
Upon my gloomy soul.
Bleeding tears in throes
My heart breaks apart.
As night decries its imperious beauty,
No lustre illumines the sky above.
Ashamed, appalled, aghast;
Stars and moon creep away beyond the blue.
When dawning stretches at daybreak,
Comes forth the yawn of sapless hope.
Misty dew sobs beneath the steaming fog;
It dims the tyrant chilly morning haze.
