this life just ends in silence

deeper
darker
the spiral keeps falling
(and as I slide down)
I run my fingers
across the ribbed remains
of things I can't remember losing
deaths that I don't remember
farther
farther
into the space below
(and as I lose myself)
I can feel, almost taste
the apathetic atmosphere
it would feel just like home
if it felt like anything at all
hoping
praying
as the Lack of All devours
(and as I floated, or perhaps drowned)
I waved at every lightless star
and thought it unfortunate
that I had no pity left
to spare them
love
hate
false reactions to meaningless chance
(and as I opened myself
to the wisdom of the Sleeper)
small claws of merciless truth
found homes within my head
and I learned that I had been quite right
but still oh so ***** wrong
letting go
letting go
unrestrained in the crypt of It
(and as It's sub-aural voice ravaged my mind)
I saw lights and colors
the likes of which Man will never know
I saw beauty disfigured
and ugliness glow
I heard the whispers of dead souls
and the soft tears of the lonely
I felt everything
and I felt Nothing
and as the End came for me
I wondered where the climax was
I awaited the glorious epiphany
afforded to those about to die
but I was only greeted with
the same old Nothing i knew
and as the gates of existence
slammed shut behind me
I finally tasted the irony
(I can appreciate a good joke)
and if I had still had a face
I’m sure I would've smiled
(this life does not end with a bang
nor even a whimper or whisper
this life just ends in silence)

wow dude the sadness in me chilled me to my marrow. I can envision little children studying your poetry for centuries to come in classrooms. Bravo for another good write.

Wow, for as cliche as that is for me to say , especially to you who continuously is the voice within my head.
Always,

GAH! This is an utterly amazing piece. I'm nearly speechless.... there's not even a word for how good it is. I'd cut out the parts I like and paste them here saying how fabulous I thought they were - but I'd need a whole page to do it... so much of this blew me away.
Stymied,
SNM |
