Black As Black
Wherever comes this strange, black chill
an overwhelming desire, here at the brink
so inexplicably drawn and curious to sink
into the abyss of an unknown cavern?
Weighty and darker than the deepest ocean
from blackest ink of a moonless night
its mystery surrounds, as I take flight
under its solemn layers of silent secrets.
Vision now vanishes, only touch to replace
for there are no images to embrace
nor sights to trace in this wretched place
a devilish black hole with an evil face.
Black upon black looms wearily ever on
while hemmed within cold, slick craggy walls
black bats shriek, the midnight hour calls
as I stumble into the black void of a forever fall.
