A song of darkness

Dark melodies of solitude
Downhearted soloist
Is singing for his life?
He is longing for that rainbow lane
A lane of smile
A lane of wonderful things
A picture perfect existence
Among the loving souls
Where is that first light?
He is playing that sad refrain again
Where are those carousing?
Where are those sweet things?
Where is that poet of happiness?
Is he no more left?
Long lost happy emotions
Are creating pain
In this pour out life
No thoughts of glee
No funny occurrence
Shadows everywhere
No lighthouse of hope
Why he is again singing that tune
Is he sane now?
Why those glasses of hemlock
Is again in my hand
Am I sane?
Or a foolish babbler
Just sometimes confuses me
Still I want to write
Just for the soloist
Who sings the song of darkness!
