Trapped : cut off, shut in, confined.
Like a prolonged dream,
Running, not reaching anywhere,
Hiding, getting caught.
Dark : dusky, pitch black, unilluminated.
A glint of light,
Flickering near,
To rush or to halt
To stay or run away
Light : irradient, incandescence, luminescence
White wisps of
cob webs lying
Before, “quite down,
Go to sleep”.
Claustrophobia : Restlessness, temporary insanity, anxiety.
Will this be the
Death of me?
Alas, it's claustrophobic
In the coffin too.
Truth : verity, candor, honesty.
Empty, Venturing
through this, I
found solace. The
Light getting closer.
Aloof : withdrawn, detached, indifferent.
Releasing the dread,
Resting in the crypt
Below the place I
Called home.
Death : end, passing, ruin.
Conclusively comprehending,
the light
Shall
Never reach me.
In the darkest hour I
thread,
Into the deepest forest,
Unilluminated I hurdled,
With plentious thought,
I never cared about the
spirits,
The spirits of the night,
I was embalmed in
courage,
So I ran through the
labyrinth,
The labyrinth of
moments,
A new beginning it was,
But never did I find an
end,
So at a point I gasped
for breath,
And so it was for me,
A journey into the
darkness.
