Souless Depths

(free verse poem)

Dark dreamscapes falling into
fathomless depths.

Souless eyes leading to
empty thoughts.

Forever lost with torn limbs
inside an ebony casket.

The eternal night with silver mist
haunted by a tainted past.

Crimson blood pools upon a
starlit floor.

You cannot feel now.

In total oblivion you don't leave
this place, it's safe.

Close your eyes.

The body is weak as the lights
become dimmer.

Below the water's surface runs
red swirls.

You welcome the nothingness.

They close your casket lid and
lower you to a final resting
place .

A pure white rose with a drop
of blood,

All soaked with heaven's tears.

Falling dirt into a deep hole blocking
out the rays of your final daylight.
