Silence.

Silence beckons me into darkness,

As my tortured thoughts are un-caged.

The demons deep in my soul reveal themselves,

As cognitive inhibitions are let go.

Silence creeps gripping fear in mortal’s breath-

It hangs shallow and low across vast emptiness,

Yet deep and high through Never-Ending-Ness.

Fortunate souls see silence as serene,

Peacefully ignorant of the depths the mind taunts to wander-

I know the way silence lingers,

Beneath my heartbeat I cannot control.

Silence is alarming and as piercing as a scream,

My senses tingle in silence and I dare not move

In an ocean of dormant monstrosities.

Silence is black and absent of color

Reflecting all of the lights that are known-

A mysterious cloak

Over places I dare not go.
