No Tomorrow
The cavernous cave- leading
Nowhere, yet I creep into it
Like a forbidden lover for
His verboten beloved.
-
Those ghastly howls of
The creatures unknown,
Lost and a little hopeless,
I traversed.
-
Shadows of the dead,
Walking beside me,
Not willing to believe,
Yet I walk.
-
From that crooked rock,
A shush did creak,
I shushed it back,
'Silence here, nothing more'*
-
In the middle, I reached,
The sky now gone,
Laid rest on the rock,
God, stop with this song.
-
From far of the tunnel,
Resembling a wave came
Gushing in, sweeping,
Away the pain.
-
Body ripped in pieces,
Soul detached for good,
Hair turned to threads,
God, it this where you stood?
-
Repent, the end is nigh.
Repent I did,
Silence became me and
I, a memory.
