Swallowed by the Womb of Tenebris
What calls to me from the surrounding abyss?
Not a voice, nor a person
The aura is the very space I live in
Like a fetus surviving in non existence
Did I choose to be born in the darkness?
Emptiness
Silence
Am I truly alive?
No light can penetrate the depths in which I live
For in my mind, light does not exist
Nothing
It is the still darkness of space, abscent of planets and stars
A black sun
The infinite reaches of ceaseless life
I'm confined to speak with myself
Am I the darkness?
The one which grips the mind of men, and drives them to madness
A force which drowns the brightest of light
So greedy, wanting, I devour all that carry hope
Not a voice, nor a person

A force which drowns the brightest of light

That was excellent. So deliciously dark 😊
I know I'm going to like anything that starts with an abyss, lol.
Superior job.
I was reading about Tenebris as I was unfamiliar.
So interesting.

I like how you remove many various aspects and elements of metaphor, considering the setting, and context of the narrative, yet still use very solid illustration and conceptualization. You capture a mindset, theme, or attitude without almost any physical allusion, or with extremely observant and definitive bound. Almost freeform nothingness, with the "potential" to interject, in its raw existence. Given the content, some of the expressions I find have vast application, or eternal inquisition. It's like the solidarity of evil is all that matters, when there is no hope or identity to affirm life or purpose. Only the uncertain depths, of which certainty is only known, without the 5 senses, are there to reaffirm the reality of null and void. Thanks for sharing.

A very astute deconstruction indeed. Well done, and thank you for reading!
