Darkness Poem by Dante' Camerlengo

A Poem in Luc-Bat

Darkness (not Byron’s)

The deep darkness did fall.
Finally slumber stalled no more.
Thoughts arose from their core
Like ash above, they soared then died.
My voice unheard, I cried.
And then again I tried, but nay;
The words, I need to say,
Powerless on their way, took flight
Towards strange, distant light,
Then echoed back a nighttime Hell;
Inward my soul then swelled.
Tolling of Iron bells then rang.
Then a darker night came.
With: thunder, wind, and rain that cuts
Large chasms’ out of ruts,
Valleys, canyons, your guts-a hole
Blacker than void and null;
A contrast of Sun’s golden air
Life no longer needs care.
The end is now, not near or far.
Remember where we are?
As always for a star... night shines!
And awakens the mind;
It is then..., that it’s time..., life crawls.

Dante' Camerlengo 8/08
