DARK + LIGHT
Dark and light pay their respects
An inconvenient juxtaposition
An unwelcome assembly
An offensive reunion
Fearlessly they escort him with unhindered loyalty
Exposing a disconcerting truth
Unearthing a disturbing clarity
Stirring an unwanted wisdom
Both glare upon the depth of his neurosis
The cruelest of inventions
Subservience to his own paralysis
Self-destruction in the name of progress
He is cornered between the devil and the dark night
Armed with flawlessly designed chaos
Fenced in by his wreckage of glowing sin,
Powdered anesthesia, technicoloured amnesia
Sinking deeper beyond the tone of his decline
Shedding the fabric of his mass-produced creation
Disintegrating stale, picture-postcard memories
Deprogramming seasonal addictions
Dark and light guide him
He falls, freely, surrenders to where no one is
Beyond shadows to where emptiness purges
A solace, a newfound texture
The vacuum absorbs
The silence nourishes
The absence reconnects
The space forgets.
