Unilluminated Poems


Basement

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Aloof : withdrawn, detached, indifferent.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.

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.
