Deeper Yet Poem by KENNETH FORDHAM

I fall beneath the reaches of mankind,
Deeper into the vast darkness that befalls me,
Never to touch the light of day again,
Loneliness once again enthralls me.

Merging into a deep dark unity,
One with the darkness abounds,
Ennui intensifies awareness of existence,
Rejecting the physical world.

Engulfed in a yawn by a world,
A world of pure perception,
Lost in a sea of unconsciousness,
Disgust with life’s obsolete senses.

Sleep naught, but never quiet awake,
Clutch of humiliation inappropriate for life,
Paralyzed confusion, diminished sight,
Deeper into the depths of ineptitude.

Condemned and banned,
I rest in an utterance of conversion,
Damnation beckoning me,
Unable to continue,
I sleep.
