Perpetual Dusk

Darkness opens its maw Peering into this nonentity It begins to enfold and consume me Into a deep introverted misery Ingested to an aloof center set A life commences bemused heavily Sallow in a hopeless zeal Eluding the relishing light of aspiration Waiting at sanity’s locked gates Bawling for an echo of help Stillness…ever waiting For an omen, one sign The voice of chance Grasping a splintered belief An exit exists to salvation Cindering confidence blowing The journey to discern What so many have mislaid Reaching for liberation Tearing through the walls Prying with bloodied fingers This quest ever persevering Until dusks minions Come to me no more
