Welcome to the Darkness
You spend the day, like many past, seeking a reply.
To the query you submitted, simply asking 'why?'.
But there is nothing to be found, where you are roaming now.
The question you should ask yourself, is neither 'where?' nor 'how?'.
You search in all the wrong locations, looking far away.
You're travelling from place to place, instead you should just stay.
Remain where you are standing now, don't take another pace.
The path which you instead should follow, hides beneath your face.
Remove your mask! Search your heart! Then dwell into your soul!
And when you find an empty nest - dive into that hole!
Leave the light behind you, explore your darker side.
And be prepared for hell and worse - for this is where I hide.
The darkness that you hid so well, the hatred you surpressed.
The evil that you so deny, will never go to rest.
For each time that you lock me up, or make me go away -
My strength increases, inevitably, and now I'm here to stay.
Consume your every fear, I will. Feed upon your fright!
Welcome to the Darkness. Welcome into the night!
The Urn of the Darkness
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination...
Silently the senses abandon their defenses...
Hopeless to resist the poetry I write...
for I compose the poetry of the night...
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour...
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender...
Hard as lighting and as soft as a candle light
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the Darkness of the URN...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before...
Softly, deftly, Darkness shall surround you...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the URN..
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, New World!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
to the power of the URN that I write -
the power of the Darkness of the URN...
You alone can make my poetry take flight -
help me make the Darkness of the URN...
Fate Of Humanity
A feared leap onto a hidden stepping stone
Blindfolded and reaching,
along the chosen path
I found a hand -
The first niche in a darkened world
The initial feeling of belonging.
My first friend of my new beginning,
at ease, tranquil, yet eager to please.
And then I felt like I belonged...
amidst those so foreign.
Alongside, a carried torch,
a happily flickering light
to brighten the drab grey stones
that surrounded and engulfed
A leader, a guide, my mentor...
But as soon as I found my balance,
when I could finally stand alone,
and easily found new places to step -
I didn't need the hand...anymore.
Yet within, I never forgot the aid
that was so generously given...
And of late, I see so much has dimmed...
A selfish bastard snuffed the torch,
bringing down thick a blanket of darkness
and leaving that gaping hole
where such a happy disposition
could always have been depended upon.
I carry on in solemn tranquility,
silently mourning, quietly grieving,
thinking that one so bright...
will never again rest his eyes on the sun...
and feel its delicious warmth.
In such a world, light diminishing
leadens the hope in such penetrating doom
as the youthful are constantly
being taken away -
I mourn the loss of a friend
and the fate of humanity...
The only consolation is that
his creative soul...
may ever fly free.
"The death of another person is perhaps the only genuine supernatural event
we ever experience."
