PERPETUAL DARKNESS





Through a hole in ground

he fell

into a faded room.

Many people are there.

All talking.



Some’re gesturing their hands awkwardly,

distorting their faces -

to help the words.



Not a word could he understand.

They all became a hum,

that made his body shiver.



God, is there anything else?



Keep on looking.

Keep on looking.



In accord they all repeated.

i aplogise (forgive me if my spelling is incorrect), but my computer cut me off. Perpetual Darkness has opened a door in my mind which i have yet to enter... and for this i thank you. do believe in existentialism? if philosophy interests you, you should go to www.dividingline.com, you would probably like the works of Fydor Dostoyovsky.

I agree with the others who have critiqued this poem already. Very thought-provoking and deep. :) And sometimes I feel this way too. :) It's a really nice way to weave this kind of feeling in words because sometimes we can't write or describe how we feel. :)
