The shadows engulfs the light

The darkness overcomes the light  
lower me then in to the frost  
of my winter grave  
with my soul without answers  
I come from a dark place  
where a child born dead  
in the lacerating silence  
of the indifference  
and the guilty horror  
of a blind humanity  
that assassinates a planet  
   
The shadows engulfs the light  
because there is no mercy  
in who fathered the torment  
to this eternal struggle  
between light and matter  
between good and evil  
between love and hate  
in the absurdity  
of challenging  
a wonderful "Creation"  
by demonic temptation  
   
The darkness overcomes the light  
is not a question of balance  
of Yin and Yang, as they say  
a picturesque theory  
which proves nothing  
only its precariousness  
in the universe of chaos  
and devastation  
where everything deflagrate  
in the last glow  
of a dying star  
plunging into a black hole  
   
The shadows engulfs the light  
in this "birth"  
"copulate" and "dying"  
prisoner of the body  
of desire and pain  
in a pathetic effort  
of this dragging  
in survival  
in the mediocre ignorance  
oppressive claustrophobia  
that suffocates us  
   
Abandon all hope:  
"there is more darkness than light  
in the universe!"  
   
The darkness overcomes the light  
and the clock is ticking  
I forgot the past  
not knowing about the future  
only few moments remains  
for happiness  
and when I cross your sweet door  
I lose myself  
in the deep space  
of your dark eyes  
only then,  
tears and despair  
seem to be forgotten
