Coiling, twisting, constricting

Around my neck, a noose of damnation

Binds me for my indulgences and wicked ways;

Redemption forever eludes my reach...



Burning, blazing, scalding

Is the conflagration within my aching heart;

Passion long forgotten yet forever present

Within the rhythm of my existence.



Falling, tumbling, unravelling

Down into the chaos from which I evade

For the sake of self-preservation

To delay my inevitable fate...



Calling, whispering, screaming,

My desperate words are ignored,

Muffled by the octaves

Of discord and undoing.



Drowning, choking, struggling,

I try to hold on

To this pitiful reality,

Drenched by delusions of grandeur...



Erased, dissolved, undone;

At last, I am at peace...

My empty husk dissipates

As I become one with the endless void
A free-verse written for NPM in april...

Do not know what it is about too much though... It is quite complex...
