Push me into the dark now and do so with a vengeance that will make me gasp. I know you
can, you’ve done it before.
Push me into the dark now and make my past crunch beneath your feet.
Make it seem as though yesterday never existed. I know you can, you’ve done it before.
Push me into the dark now and fill me with dull inspiration of agony. Bury my illusions and suffocate me slowly. I know you can, you’ve done it before.
Push me into the dark now and drown me before I reach the shore. I know you can, you’ve done it before.
Push me into the dark now and twirl yourself around me; let me struggle for every breath that I take. I know you can, you’ve done it before.
Push me into the dark now and besiege me with your angst and emptiness; extract me from myself and don’t be scarce. I know you can, you’ve done it before.
Push me into the dark now and bewilder me in your relentlessness; intertwine me in your evil cause, wreathe me in your sorrows and constrain me till I dissipate…
It would have been REALLY helpful to know what author function you picked!!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure your abstract concept is 'nothingness'? It sounds more like 'passion' to me...
Sorry, I just updated it. I chose the "Poet" function as it should (now) show in the headline.
ReplyDeleteI intended to refer to "nothingness" as an existential and abstract (important) concept, mainly, inspired by recent Western philosophy.
Should I have been more objective? How do you distinguish between "passion" and "abstract concept" ?
I agree that nothingness IS an abstract concept, I just pointed out that to this reader it sounds like what you are really writing about is passion (which is also an abstract concept, of course...)
ReplyDeleteAnd writing as a poet - no, you should def. not be objective, quite the contrary!
