Abyss

Abyss

Darkness.
Engulfing, Enfolding, Embracing.
Sweet as a lovers kiss.

Pain.
Excruciating, Blinding, Sublime.
Delightful as summer rain.


Fear.
Rending, Crumbling, Encapsulating.
Something to hold dear.

Filth.
Nauseating, Vile, Disgusting.
Something to cherish with.

Tears.
Weakening, Shattering, Ruining.
The sum of our years.

Violence.
Spontaneous, Random, Unceasing.
Nothing can replace it since.

Illness.
Demoralising, Despairing, Undefeated.
Sweet, Sublime Bliss.


Love.
Warming, heartening, contenting.
Crushed like a dove.
