Into the black

by priyanka-dey

What lies there? There, that vacuum I’m staring into… Hey, do you live there? There in that orange-black expanse? Will I reach you? Can I hold you? I have my arms spread out wide! Can I know you? May I behold you? For one one time!? For you seem to be a flavor, I imbibe when I sleep. For you seem to be a torture, That keeps me awake as I breathe. A faceless entity, A significant nobody, Why must I stare into you? Why must I want to be a part of you? There where the Sun melts away, Where the Moon marks the end of day, A few dazzling specks, Only drops of dew, From my colourless eyes, They reach to you. Scattered in what lies beyond, Swimming in the arms of the dark, I wonder if all my answers breathe, Breathe, live, right right there!? All those…I’ve had to let go, All deaths that have passed by so slow, Time unlived…time unknown, I wish my life, you live right there! For here I walk an unseen road. The same paths to travel, Only one air to breathe, Nothing is ever different, Alas! Only one life to live! Here I shan’t find that life, This little time and infinite memories, I will carry them all! I will take them with me… Once these eyes close shut forever, Once, my breath marks not another, This soul shall fly, she will escape, Down a road, you cannot trace— Then into the black, Into fresh green leaves, Into fading time, Into new found memories, Into a finally found paradise, Into these unending skies, Into my long beholding eyes, Into my lost lost life…
