Gothic Scene

By coax1965 •
Gothic Scene
Beneth gas lamps
black nights skies
to eary sounds
of distant cries
we walk streets
cobbled stones
through darkened alleys'
squalid zones.
In candle light
misery strains
through smudged glass
of dirty pains
from lonely rooms
in dancing light
that calls out
into the night.
A lack of hope
in darkened shame,
black of night
in cold and rain
drips from eaves
to an icicle morning.
Clear and cold
and pointing down
austere spikes
hang down
as rods or bars
in front of pain glass windows.
