Nyktalgia

Nyktalgia

Hopeless a body starts to fail

Memories fade but scars still remain

Through dark nights of struggle, time, decay

Cosmological letdown - irresistable negative sway



evoke the spectres of a black night

a downhearted asylum devoid of light

When all hope is in vain

dolorous mysteries - fathomless pain



Amidst the soundless solitudes immense

This oppressing silence which benumbs my sense

wrapt in my own nighted doom

that yawns with abysmal gloom



Illuminated bitter visions of illusion

lost myself - gone too far in self-confusion

I am about to follow my last track

I failed: my spark of hope is black



Vanquished on the field of life for the end I yearn

The spark is quenched nor ever more will burn
