"Ancient" A Poem

Ancient

You are ancient.

She is ancient.

He is ancient.

Your souls

Of course

Hauntingly ancient.

All of your past lives

Beyond meager measure.

Something horrifying

And beautiful

From time past

And yet to come

Binds you.

You are hers

And she is yours.

He is not.

You dark

She light

He emptiness.

A benevolence out of time

A lost heart to claim

A malevolence from hell

Souls aswirl in a

Maelstrom of

was

Is

Will be.

When darkness

Descends upon light

Emptiness intrudes and He

Tears, rips, and sunders

Bodies, souls and minds

Shredding what should be

What must be

Now can’t be as

The sick truth that

Annihilates love.

You are ancient.

She is ancient.

He is ancient.

The Darkness that

Needs the Light

As the Moon

Needs the Sun.

The Sun is the Darkness

and the Moon is the Light.

The mere speck

That separates them

After all these lives

is Emptiness.
