IN A HAZE COLORLESS PALE--second revision

In a Haze Colorless Pale

The sun late afternoon
crossed the darkened room
in a haze colorless pale
dust danced in slow motion
in streams of light though the air
suffocating movements of silence

the sun began to fade
and I felt the lonliness weigh heavy
in the dim of twilight

the noise was gone
and silence spoke its mourning
as day fled into dark
like a shrouded veil
and I began to sink
into madness

No goodnews,my friend

melancholy very well expressed in these couplets..i liked the idea of equating yourself with the dust...perhaps as particles of bygone memories if i red it right...if so the meaning is profound...it is effective to the extent you meant it to be....
