The Black Velvet Door

By A_Puppet_Show


Living inside white light on concrete,
down hallways, a deserted institution;
I often open the black velvet door,
to benight the self in old light, laughing,
keep the shine on baby black, keep shining,
there is a growing vacancy on these parts,
but I never reflect.

    You never cease to amaze me...its like a sci-fi walk down a hallway, theres no ornaments, no life...and then suddenly there is, there is always light in the deepest despair, even if it is a black velvet door...
