Into the Void

Drawn into a black void of sound Colors reverberate like noises in the shafts of dark Tracing outlines of perturbing light streams Flicking and slipping through like floating ribbons in space A blur of intense emotion encompasses me within All wrapped up in locked shadows sinned by slivers of silver Aching, awaking, a heart pounds Against drum beats of reveling, glowing patches of memory What sick flash of the mind's eye led me to these reverberations? Vibrating deep within, echoing off my taste buds The coolness of uncertainty surrounds me in a circuit of desperate reality Everything is moving - but I cannot feel it! I cannot feel the time - the purpose of it all I am transforming into meaningless blisters of blur White meeting shadow - shadow enfolding on fogs Crawling in the air, floating curls of hair Alone it seems these sensations flourish With only flashes of memory serving as companions Engulfed in the self unfolding like paper Drawing new holes - welcoming the empty Hope blown about in an visible breeze above Cringing leaves resting on its head There is no way to express The overwhelming sensations - this obscure wilderness Locked tightly up and loosened when alone No solid ground - alone I roam Into the void I go Into the void I stay Into the void I ever will be December 10, 2012
