My shattered utopia
Can only be restored with
My self as burnt offering
Tag: ways to die
Monotony
Every day is just like the
Last; desperation flashes
Through me; I swallow, again.
Acceleration
Waiting to hit rock bottom,
I continued to fall, through
Infinite space, faster still
Haven
Where can I be safe?
How can I escape?
When will you forgive?
Oath of Secrecy
I would not be a mage of
Any worth had I not burnt
Every tome before you came.
You may torture and kill me
But you will never learn the
Secrets of my mystic arts.
This Heavy Crown
Though I am a mighty king,
I am an illustrious
Prisoner of this mantle.
If my strength should fail, even
For a moment, I will be
Executed by next moon.
The Seal
Hesitating to open
The ancient reliquary,
I finally cracked the seal.
A mist of dust clouded my
Sight, and I gazed at a small
Mirror. My face contorted
Until, as my consciousness
Died, I recognized the smile
Of that blessed Saint Amun.
Things Fall Apart
It’s not ambiguous. The
Net tightens. The darkness falls.
Everything we feared, comes true.
Under a Perforated Sky
These years have been an
Ever building Crescendo
Without climax; I
Endlessly repeat
My devotions, awaiting
Some judgment, some peace.
