Darkness


 

I wander through nothing but pure emptiness

Thus I dare not holler in the dead of dusk

For the darkness of only hatred

Will take me nowhere through the cave of death

As the soul of evil had thus held me captive

I cannot escape from its overwhelming grasp of disparity and weakness


 

As the heart of ice thus chills the summer day

The thoughts in such a head like mine

Only thus stay the same

Whilst the identical reflection 

Of my selfless clone

Never changes its form of eternal darkness


 

For the center of my spiritual illness

Can thus only encounter only difficulty in finding its desired purpose

For the hearts of light will burn out its faithful candles

If the hearts of darkness will overcome thee

As hatred thus can be defeated

Only death will need to burn out its willingness to make others suffer

For its own hateful deeds will soon come back to itself

For dim light of unfaithful souls

Will dare deny to encounter the pure of dark


 

Will dare not speak out to darkness itself

For they cower in the pureness of light

With no perception of their direction in the darkness

Only a headless soul replaced with its lonesomeness

As they only allow their fear to overcome them

In the pure of darkness and dusk

I dare not husk;

For thee will only busk

In the dead of utter darkness
