Consummation

Jan 16, 2019

As I fade into nothingness
I await to be enveloped
Succumbing to the calling
To become the void that I once was

As all things must fade away, be forgotten
The embodiment of a warm caress
No matter how comforting as it once was
Arms outstretched no longer

I search for a glimmer, a hint of burning embers
Looking far across the horizons
Even though I know
The flames have sputtered into ashes

Reawaken and fulfill
Resurrect an empty husk
Wash away the rotting insides
And come back to the land of the living 


The Foreboding

Bathed in the lull of starglow
The final curtain between strangers in the night
As we lay atop sweat, blood and entrails
Atop the corpses of the fallen undead
Pangs of longing and wistful aromas engulf us
Holds us tight
As if we tumble down a rabbit hole
Only to re-emerge as the dying embers of ethereal moonlight caress
Luring us back into eternal slumber
