Sweet Darkness Poem by Harry Robbins

Sweet darkness invades my soul
Loving others and destroying me
Becoming the goal of the whole
She knocks me to my bloody knees

I am clean like the rickety old house
She must fulfill those nasty needs
I am willing to be the honorable louse
She ignores my living seeds

She has my honor and love
I own her nightly cries till morning comes
I would love her like a baby and a dove
In her eyes I stay in the slums

Her touch of corruption is never attained
My sadness is given no relief
The spirit is completely drained
My time here will be brief
