Throbbing

I once dug a hole

A hole so deep that darkness feared to escape

One so deep that it merely consumed all radiance.

And for a while I stood at the edge of my creation.

Then, without hesitation, I dove blissfully into the chasm.

Allowing it to swallow me whole.

With no worry of ever reaching the bottom.

And when I crashed, I fell into a pool of blood.

Red waves crashing over me, pulling me into a whirlpool.

Draining me into a thin pulsing tube.

Where I heard the beating of a loud drum.

And as I traversed the dark channel, drowning in the flowing river.

I was spit out, onto a wasteland laden with large glass shards of flesh.

Frozen pieces shattered and scattered across the dry, black ground.

And with each pound of the drum, the fleshy fragments pulsated and cracked even more.

Turning towards the deafening sound, I saw my own heart.

Bruised and battered–scarred and tattered, yet still beating, through all of the pain.

So I close my eyes and start to suffocate, choking on the overwhelming feeling stabbing at my chest.

Then with a jolt I open my eyes, gasping for air.

Because the thought of her saves me every time I forget to breathe.


Clouds turned into dirt, a walking place for those in euphoria.

An ecstasy unlike anything before, consisting of every happy moment.

A smile high above falling slowly in the approaching light, happy to see us but sadly letting us go, as a quenching inferno begins to devour our world.

And the horizon so far away, our warning signal that such an amazing walk will be over soon.

And even though we ache for more, we dread over how we will suffer in those last moments.

The best moments, the ones we remember, the memories planted in our minds as light begins to seep in, burning our bodies.

And we cry for it is all over, as the cycle continues…


Residuum X

And so the ashes began to drift over the corroded earth.

Silence lost within the tormented screams of yesterday.

A beautiful vista is left behind for those lost in oblivion.

Taking with them the memories they created.

Sublime in all ways, fields of black and grey once cluttered; now elegant and pure.

Peace flowing through the desolate lands.

Soon falling onto their final resting places.

Mourning over the rising sun, confused with the lives they retained.

Awaiting the cold embracing touch of night, to desperately sulk away.

Accepting their fate, ready for the aftermath.

Remnants of the devastation, left with the awe of a destroyed past.

Given an unknown reality, leading only to Rebirth.


Lost in the Drift

Rolling down flowing hills

Speeding swiftly Sliding steeper, Sighting only depth.

And finally slowing, regaining nerves

Steering towards safe shores

Grasping tipping the last life line…

Frantically swinging, scraping and bleeding down faster than before

Uncontrollably being dragged, quickly losing breath.

Soaring into the air, floating, viewing the disgusting beauty.

Flying into nothing…

Plunging into the abyss


Apex

Black…

Colours bursting

Soaring through space

Painting the blank skies

Ever present motion in stillness

As nothing transforms and becomes something

Explosions awakening the dead of placid nights

Disintegration into the flowing heavy air

Inertia returning from constant motion

Staining the empty canvas

Falling from Cosmos

Colours fading

White…


Inner Demon

An entity lurking deep within

Jailed behind rusting bars

Waiting… always waiting for the perfect moment.

Lusting for blood— ever ready to Explode

as it observes the sluggish decay of its barricade.

The creature salivating, anxious as its moment is rapidly approaching.

Constantly growing stronger as it feeds on all negativity.

And here I focus on containment.

Control is all I have

but certain catalysts push me ever closer to breaking.

And I’m left wondering if I can continue on.

Longing only for Release.


Breathing

Sitting, waiting in this dark confined box

Already accepting my fate as the walls seem to be closing in

Loud thumps waking me whenever I begin to drift away

Muffled screams scratching their way into me

Putrid smells filling my home

The feeling of my body consuming itself

 

Exhaustion prevents my rebellion

Too weak to act, I’m startled by the sound of the ground crumbling

My small compartment begins shaking

As rushing water begins to flow ever so violently

Awakened by the wet floor, I’m surged with renewed vigor

I begin pounding, pushing and kicking—futile attempts—as I soon start to panic

Water quickly rising, my movements become more taxing.

One last breath, as I go under

Shaking, fighting, looking for escape

And then a blinding flash as I fall in assent

All is still, as my heart stops


Lonely Ghost

Am I transparent?

Does no one out there care?

Everyone walks through me—casting me into their shadows.

Alone in the masses, longing to be heard.

I’m lost in my own contempt.

Collapsing to my knees,

pounding my fists on the pavement,

and crying in loneliness.

I’m screaming for somebody, anybody,

to answer me and free me from this hell.

I’m left only to hear the howls of my wandering echoes.

Apocalypse

Winding wind turning and twisting wreaking havoc unimaginable

Inextinguishable fires fueling the chaos

Carving a path through the land tearing its way to me

Death shrieks out a laugh

As Demise becomes my fate

The ground begins to pulsate, powerful tremors surrounding

Hands like tendrils begin rising from the pits

Tearing at my limbs .

The moon falls

The Sun Erupts

The Sea brings shade

And the world leaves me

With nothing left to see

Desolation


Conflagration

Fire illuminating the lurid skies of night.

Smothering the moon out of the heavens.

Eradication is imminent, as everything perishes before the pyre.

An inferno floods its way through the land decimating all before its path.

Rain turns into steam; wind drives the blaze.

There is nowhere to hide – gruesome screams are heard in the distance as life is consumed in the sea of flames.

Fleeing before the darkness, smoke racing—expanding, reaping its way through the land—with death directing its swift pace.

Dashing through the ashes, ignoring the small burns as the Ripper approaches rapidly.

Breath forsakes its master, as the overwhelming black wall devours its next victim.

The slow, powerful convulsions initiating the blood’s rebellion against its own.

Forcing breath to return, accepting the noxious embrace of one final attempt to endure the inevitability.

Life – watching its compendium – begins its descent into oblivion.

Asphyxiation
