Darkness

I stepped out from the light and was alone
And all the light source present as before
Nor matter defied the theory we enthrone
And multiplied to feast like some starved boar
On photons and gravitons here, nowhere.

And floating where all senses blanked appear
I had no existence in this darkness
And nothing here existed as before
Except imagination's loneliness
Moving and yet fixed and still evermore.

I was in the womb where the world began
In the darkness  where there is none but one
And I immersed in earth's melanin said:
Let me not to light return, cold that dread!
