the darkness left

a living window on a screen
and time is dusk, it’s so serene
the sherry nights are drawing in
the solitary nights, the nights of sin

as fortune plays his game of chance
the tapping fingers crave romance
to love the sun, the moon, the air
to not be here, to be somewhere

inbound songs, the notes perfuse
with words, and thoughts that lose
still more of what and why was here
as on the screen dark does appear

foreboding tales, of means and ends
out there the world is all pretends
to look upon the running lives
to watch and see which one survives

crescendos come, crescendos go
observing them is all I know
and when the lights go out, to see
the darkness, all that’s left is me
