Destruction - Part 1
Esperança Cardoso © July 9, 2009
Black holes of the soul, dark and gaping. Always being filled, never being satisfied.
Unnamed restlessness longing, crying out.
Parched greedy lips, drink thirstily from cups overflowing with… emptiness.
Leaky dams plugged up with index fingers while the waters rage all around.
Broken places covered over with tattered sheets as moth, rust and light creep beneath the folds
Corrupting what lies beneath
The chasm opens ever wider, demanding more, consuming all, hungering for still more
Floods sweep overhead drowning; arms flailing, heart pounding, out of control.
Weak pleas, choked cries for help; Does anyone hear? Does anyone see?
Is this all there is after all?
Light is so far away, a distant memory.
Lightning flashes, thunder crashes. Waves rise and fall. Is this all?
Riding currents, helpless, hopeless. Surrender is imminent - Yes, surrender
Eyes closed. The darkness is now complete…(to be continued)
