Dismalediction and the Remedy - Blackthorn

No more blood, nor claws, nor fangs

Just an otherworldly touch

You will feel no pain, nor fear

but persistent yearning

for nonbeing

The persistent thirst for nonbeing’s

Hidden well inside one’s mind

It cannot be satisfied and

Keeps haunting mankind…

II

I tried so fiercely

to dissent but stone-cold hands

covered my mouth,

strangled my neck

at objection attempts

Touch me

Cursed and blissful

III

Dare to follow me and

I will follow you forever

A thousand doors will open where

there were only blank walls

before

Remedies, orations, teardrops —

Torn nets for the almost gone

Though I drained the chalice of life

They still fill it on and on

IV

How

Could I not notice

Void and your eyes look the same?

I’m sick and fed up

with being deceived

I’m quitting now this game

Rivers,

Chasm rivers

Flowing down, down

Carry me away,

Make my heart bleak,

Calm and free
