Despair Has No Desire

Lost in the passage 
of despair and confusion
Am I tangled up in
a temporary illusion? 
Is it the calm before
the coming storm? 
Caught in a web 
of endless stupor
Like a hurricane 
in the distance
Menacing whirls 
of sombre silence
Thunder roars through 
tunnels of emptiness
Desolation descends 
to answer it’s call
The dark of night 
like the blankness of life
The light of the world 
broken into shards
Despair now listless 
it has no desire
No permission to 
descend it requires!
