Into the Abyss

A wandering soul now turned astray,

As the last of light flickered in the darkness,

To a place where our overwhelming emotions did betray,

Beyond despair and darkness to a complete void.



Drifting among the noises to find solitude and peace,

We begin to venture into the unending veil of the dark,

that looms around draining the beauty of living,

Awfully locking the only asylum of euphoria.



The cold aura revoke the plethora of thoughts,

Sending shivers as the mind whirls through memories.

Emanating from inside were questions that were not answered, 

Of love, hate, regret, passion, anger, distress and fear.



The very intellect of thinking comes to a halt,

As the deception of a blissful journey and comfort falls,

Struggles and loss engenders vulnerability to self,

That we desperately want to break free these barricades.



Once fallen, escaping seems like an impossible quest.

But remember, the eerie silence and the dark hue was waiting for you,

To shred the stardust from your skin,

And to glow with the misty light of those deep-rooted untouched dreams.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
