holy nothing

beyond itself
and all within
cannot escape the singularity
infinite density becomes the final destination
for a soul birthed into an abortive world wild with acrimony
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
darkness
l a s t i n g  d a r k n e s s
is the only light
 
the
 
only
 
life
 
sustained by false hope
that it won’t actually come
but it does
it always does
and there is nothing that can be done
to stop its approach
in a world of determined decay
 
death will have its way
 
outside of that
 
there seems
 
nothing
 
to

          A poem of entropy and decay, where blackness is the only light. What a powerful thought. A poem of nothingness that is so powerful and emphatic leaving little hope. Nicely worded it is inwardly metaphoric. Usually metaphors go from a single item to a bigger concept but in this case it goes from the universe to the individual as well. The feeling of nothing.
