Swallowed by Sorrow

by Chris C - Taurus

Possessed in wickedness’ ghoulish gaze
Groping out from the darkness it delivered a maze
Examining the engraving closely, “Life” it read
Curiously I opened the box and froze dead

Disoriented and isolated through thick, icy fog
Mind smoldered and lagged from overwhelming smog
Secluded and distressed in this peculiar world
Contentment forced from me in a convulsive hurl

Centaurs arise from the depths and collect my soul
A shallow corpse left for the feasting upon of null 
Smiles puddle and drain off by diabolic gargoyles
Life gyves my constant thoughts with toils

No one but nobody to bring me relief
My soiled being gutted with grief 
Screaming and howling through breeding fire
You neglect the cries of my mental expire

Never shall I again be curious of this thing called “Life”
For I have faced its bitter loneliness and lie in self strife

Reason for writing:

    Life & loneliness.
