The spiritual high is nice.
The vibing buzz of
positive energy,
the scintillating sense
of God's presence,
fills me in this
pandemonious
moment.
Swish
Tears of joy flow freely.
I let it go tonight—
surrendered
all my
fears.
Followed by hope
sprung from its
cacophonous cocoon,
the
pendulum
swings.
Swoosh
The gears
are in motion
and the countdown begins.
Swish—
ka-chink
It is only
a matter
of
time
before my
bastard twin emerges.
Swoosh—
ka-chunk
The glory I once basked in
is now shaded by the darkness
coming with the storm.
Its gales rush throughout
the cramped catacomb
corridors within
my haunted
psyche.
The
high
now on
the high end of low.
My fear is starting to show.
My Lord, forgive me in advance,
for the darkness
is my
obstacle
and I don’t
know how to navigate
through these dark hallways of my mind.
for the darkness
is my
obstacle
and I don’t
know how to navigate
through these dark hallways of my mind.
"My name is Legion: for we are many” (Mark 5:9 KJV).

No worries 😁
Inspired by Edgar Alan Poe indeed! The pit and the pendulum in a remarkably shortened version. My la! Fascinating and macabre, ghastly yet seeming half beautiful with excellent imagery and an appropriately horrifying poignancy.
Poe will always be an inspiration to me. You honor me with that comparison! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment! Much appreciated, as always!!! 🙏🖤
Hi Tristan, I read the poem several times. Each stanza painted vivid picture and the last stanza brought them together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzles falling in right places to make a whole. Loved it so much. Thanks for sharing Bhaskar
