In the corner of the room
Is a lamp,
That couldn’t pierce through the gloom,
Since it no longer sheds light,
Useless lamp,
It fails to hold back the night;
Cobwebs are slowly filling
The lampshade,
Where no light comes for shining
Through the once ivory white,
Small lampshade;
Now it’s powerless not bright,
The dark lamp



Gloom
