A Night of Fathomless Blackness

These vultures were closing in on me, A thousand unutterable fears bore unamendable holes in my mind, Absorbed in a stream of thoughts and reminiscences, All was a vague jumble of chaotic impressions. Awaiting my summons to the eternal silence, Buried hopes couldn't rise from their sepulchers, Fathomless depths of suffering increased Like a feverish and godforsaken tide of life. Gathering all my scattered impulses into a passionate act of courage, Threw a ton's weight of resolve upon my muscles, And braced myself to the exquisite burden of life, I failed to drink from the jug of the universe. My heart flutter with a vague terror, And my soul is beaten to the ground by the catastrophe, My sensibilities are now offended, Because this is my night of fathomless blackness.
