    Gloomy Shadows

    Gloomy shadows descended over the quietness of the dusk
    A silvery and ethereal smoke met a sorrowful oblivion
    Despair and grief conjured against every shard of bliss
    Melancholy would have been the gift and cure for anguish and woes
    A rain of misery and dismay flooded the gardens of hope
    Obscurity was a relief to painful ideas and thoughts
    Although, oftentimes, the amusement was found in gloomy shadows
    Stormy skies full of clouds could not prevent the stars from brightening in their splendor
    Nothingness was the shade of distresses
    Whilst sighs of tainted dreams overshadowed the immensity of the obscurity
    The abyss of sublimity wept tears of gems and gold
    Silent sobs disclosed the imperturbable infinity
    An ocean of illusions and lost desires sought to amuse a soft slumber
    Dismal tales full of melancholy reveries embraced pain and sorrow
    Restless nights of torment would have sobbed infinite tears of distress until the mildness of the darkness faded away
    Late was the slow ticking of time for broken secrets once locked in the doom of an oath
    Languid torpor made the fears and concerns melt into the dust of stars
    A cloudiness firmament was the witness of chaotic destructions
    Where a transcendental sublimity was shattered into invisible pieces
    Tumults of delight grew pale, and fainted in the dark
    Smashed glasses of expectation were obliterated by a gelid wind of disappointment
    infinite waiting in the abyss of dark clouds
    Forsaken words might have been turned into dust like grumbles of delusions
    Illusive nonsense paved the way for slander and deception
    A descent into obliviousness and chaotic envy led to a seclusion of senses
    Absent remembrances were clouded with endless sorrow and cruel disdain
    Melancholy reflections threw sadness on every delightful bliss
    Until nothing could remain but distress
    And nevermore would an everlasting longing have been blamed for a twisted utopian idyll.
