Black As Black
Wherever comes this strange, black chill
an overwhelming desire at the brink
inexplicably drawn and curious to sink
into the abyss of an unknown cavern?
Weighty and darker than the deepest sea
from blackest ink of a moonless night
its mystery surrounds, as I take flight
under solemn layers of silent secrets.
Vision now vanishes, only touch to replace
for there are no images to embrace
nor sights to trace in this wretched place
a devilish black hole with an evil face.
Black upon black looms ever on
hemmed within slick and craggy walls
black bats shriek, the midnight hour calls
as I stumble into the black void of a forever fall.
