Unward

By Burnt at both ends

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In the end there was only darkness, as there was in the beginning... Darkness begat darkness... diluted... faded further into a darker darkness. Deep darkness... dark dark, in its depths. darkness in the shadow of darkness, underneath there is more darkness... taking over from darkness... surrounding enshrouding and suffocating the newer darkness with the old.... The darkest cancer creeping slowly forward from the past.... The deepest doom: Extending an infinite tentacle from the past, overtaking these shallow moments, with all the hollow token angst the merely.... emptinessless. Dragging it all to slime and hell, piece by forgotten piece. Moving past this overtaking it creepingly into future. Dooming it all with its breath, paralyzing with its corrupt stench. Aborting it, before even conception... ugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh In the shadow of the deepest darkness laid a dream. forgotten by darkness... mislaid into the depths and forgotten. Forgotten far away... Far, far away in some forgotten unloved dark corner... suffocated in stillness caught frozen mid gasp rattling it's final breath... Incomplete... stuck in timelessness. Darkness in the shadow of darkness underneath the more darkness the advancing doom creepness ooze accelerating inward outward and unward. Deep and forbidden in the unward direction undoing all that may have ... who knows.... Death from the past. Cancer in time Advancing unwards towards the only fraction of a dream left, Dripping doom onto the only crumb of a hope... onto the hopelessness of hope. Spies ............. it Seeks ............it Stalks ........ it Tastes .......it Eats ...... it . . . and here we are...Nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_ nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_ nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_ nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_nonononono_ nonononono_nonononono_ Written March 6th, 2002 © on Mar 08 2002 05:34 AM PST   0 • 14
