#abyss poems on Hello Poetry

Luijoy France C Salcedo Jul 2020

Chills running down my spine
It doesn't go away as if it stopped time
It was so dark I thought the stars in the dark night sky has lost its shine
It was alarming, risky, scary but it was just fine

Surprisingly, it's comforting
It's cold but filled up with longing
It's dark and cold like the night sky of a late evening
Yet when you embrace it, it gives you a warm feeling like morning

Warmth is there, yes
But the darkness and coldness surpass the rest
I tried to escape from it and I did my best
For escaping from it is an impossible quest

The Flower of Doom already bloomed
The end is coming soon
I know cause even under the hot sun of noon
You can already see the moon

It had already begun
You can't survive even if you have your rifle or gun
The strength of your soul's will
will determine if your still going to continue living and have fun
But if your soul's will is weak
you'll quickly vanished and will forever be gone

So when you feel that chilling sensation down your spine, it's the darkness
When it tries to embrace you, nothing's left but sadness
The coldness will never leave you like a pest
That's the embrace of the darkness' nest

IT'S THE COLD EMBRACE OF THE DARK ABYSS

Soar

We cannot understand everything.
A harsh lesson from life.
Be steady, see the pendulum swing
In times of despair and strife.

Yet, I chose to know myself.
The dark caverns in my mind,
Those I had put on a shelf
That left me maligned.

I find myself on an edge,
I have been here before,
And when I fell I made a pledge.
That instead I would soar.

I look into the abyss,
It greets me as before,
With a smile and a kiss.
Features I grew to abhor.

What it does not know;
I am no longer afraid.
Innocence had to go
Just as the mist must fade.

I look into the night,
With a deep breath, I soar
Then the dark turns to light.
I am afraid no more.

I have been on the edge many times. More than I would like I nearly fell into the abyss. Yet as I find myself back here I realise that growth happens during uncomfortable times. I'm ready for the next challenge.

This morning I stared at my
veins, and I realized they’re as
blue as an ocean during sunrise

And I’ve been drowning in
myself since my first breath

For how long must I
breathe underwater?

Am I still alive if my soul
feels like it's sinking
endlessly
into the abyss?

I’m not dead but I’m not alive either.

Abyss

Numbness
In the quiet
Rattling peace
Confusion in chaos
Created by me

Hollow heart
Deadness within
It's not real pain
It's mental
Yet unbearably insane

Seeking punishment
Well deserved
It's ok
Turn your back
It's well earned

Quailing nightmare
Find no peace
Hurt me to ****
The beast
To make it cease.

Time's the enemy
For I suffer
Deeping hole
Widening abyss
Where I can't find my lover

We all have bad days, we are human. Some of us have a daily struggle with the hollowness left by the monster within.

Star Gazing -- A Haiku

I lie on my back,
gazing at the vast abyss
stretching above us.

On my own

I wish we could share burdens among us
Share whatever has our shoulder shrugged and our backs bent
Distribute that weight until it's as light as a bad dream on a good day
Chip away that burden with every smile and nice word received and sent

If we could share the darkest parts of ourselves
The passage ways, corners and closets that play host to our tormentors
Battle together the pull into the void that calls with promises of peace
Attack those spaces , bombard them with light  even to our inner centers

But I cannot share with you all that brings me pain
Yes it would be nice , but it cannot  be true
To give you one of the demons that have found a home in me
To make you feel what I feel could i still claim to love you

I am sorry, but these nightmares are mine and have been for so long
Not even the heaviest rain that hides and washes away tears
The rain that eventually stops and brings light home
That rain can do nothing to soothe and calm away this pain and my fears

I can't say if I am showing strength or something of another sort
But I will fight my void, shadows and demons on my own
Though I want to ,I cannot take your hand in support
Because when the darkness eventually takes me,  let it take me alone.

ABYSS

Staring into the abyss,
I saw the demon,
that tormented me on many sleepless nights.
Now it's staring right at me,
what it wants? I not know,
the plethora of thoughts,
running down my mind.
For the time has come to,
dive deep into it.
The uncertainty frightens me,
it cripples me.
But, I know,
when, I will emerge at the other end,
I will be a changed man.
For now I have to,
dive deep down into the chasm.

a poem to conquer my demons.
Thank you for reading.
