White
"WHITE"
White is a vacant colour
there is no substance
there is no depth
there is no surface
to check beneath ...
White is a base colour
Ground Zero where light drowns
a doorless holding cell for murdered souls
who wait and wonder lost
no escape routes, a captive place
on a blank page, where thoughts walk around in circles
in white shrouds with wobbling blancmange gazes
looking for their lost life story's words ink invisible
erased forever swallowed in White’s nothingness
White is not pure
Poppies powdered frost
Opium of an empty mind
Cocaine cut in lines
across a wordless page
a non-dimensional space
where sinners meet their lost God
in their white drugged vapid snowstorm brains
White is the torture of Endlessnism
a straight jacket padded room
no windows, doors, no floor
just never ending light switched on
a patient NeuroCell Nootropic sea
floating, no there is no surface, no memory
to check beneath the white pills
clouds that do not storm nor free
screams no longer dream in colour
White has sucked them in,
no memories, White is blind can’t see
White is powerless with no sovereign, no dominion
nothing but Eternity
White is a vacant colour
there is no substance
there is no depth
there is no surface
to check beneath …
