Dark deep space (drifting)



The closest of stars
 is but a wick of a candle in its dying glow. 
As I float aimlessly
 in the abyss of cruel thoughts 
that mercilessly attack my tormented mind.

Shades of disturbia
 that flicker in the distance
 as the glow of that star loosens its grip 
on my suspended soul. 
That star, that once was a supernova.

Drifting away in a new realization
of a new gravitational centre to which I’m drawn
and constantly orbit
 in this mix of matter and or anti matter
 I am not aware 
as I seem to have lost consciousness
 in my constant drifting.  

 Orbiting around an unseen cosmic body
 its fabric sheer pain. 
Pain that freezes my face and cracks my lips,
numbs my soul and mortifies my mind. 
As I drift my legs bent at an angle 
and my arms in a perfect pose and balance.
Drifting into some dark comer of the universe.

This feeling i posses like a desperate electron,
wanting, yearning 
to be excited to a higher energy shell. 
To escape this orbit 
and the constant bombardment 
of harsh memories or just 'thoughts'. 

That star that has turned into a black hole 
that the light of what used to be has failed to escape.
Still i drift. 
Towards this invisible cosmic body 
whose fabric mortifies me.
Have i lost to gain, 
my soul leaving a trail of dark matter 
or anti matter i do not know. 

My breath is slow 
and suddenly a gasp of air 
and what seems to be a ray of light. 
Its gravity more powerful, 
Than these tentacles of shadows that linger

My trajectory shifted
that light pulling me in. 
Maybe its just another passing comet
or is it that star 
that was but a wick of a candle in its dying glow 
coming to life?

"in the confines of time and eternity"

Time and mortality 
the debris of a spoken word
withered petals of a glorious beginning
when it was spoken
 "in the beginning"

eternity and immortality
 the sustenance of a word spoken
 continuous ripples of a glorious beginning
from the moment it was spoken
 "let there be"

constellations that He shepherds
He knows them all by name
A third of the illuminaries 
torn by the dragon's tail
Futility pride failed to curtail

Witnesses of the Word spoken
 "it was good"
now confined to this debris 
of withered petals of creation
wrapped in the confines of time and eternity

... yet Polarized.

I fumble with my excuses
deep in thoughts that tumble into reality,
A reality i constantly have to deny
for the sake of the man i am.
The man i need to be
yet these traitors connive against me.
These two yielding traitors-
my heart and mind.
Do they not realize
this is a hostage situation-dire And shackling

Is it the hold of that gaze
that pierces into my soul
Beauty that invades my being
gentleness that pervades my sphere.
A sphere effectively affected
by a smile so captivating
Those intoxicating giggles
that send ripples  of this..
...this unfamiliar force
vibrating through my whole being.

Is it the sound of a voice
The reflection of an amazing heart
The constructs of which
are kindness  and the fear of God.
A fierce fire that flames inside her
and covers her in her mesmerizing beauty
The beauty of a godly woman
Her mind a dazzling universe of inspiration      
Her character etched
in that Divine force
that brought the world into existence

Please shut down my heart
Shadows hover over it..
Please hard reset my mind
Darkness lurks by..
Dark and deep yet so inviting
Desires to stop fighting..
Fighting with myself
In this place where my mind retires
And i sink even deeper
Into this ... this unfamiliar force..
That's pulling me in like a black hole
