Nether 

So drunk in dreams of hope

Was I, a mere speckle of black.

Remaining for that one day,

 When my shackles unlock

And my blinded eyes shall see.

So weak in hunger of hope

Was I, a mere speckle of dark.

That wished for a beginning

When already nearing the end,

No less than a withered bloom.

So anxious in attaining that hope

Was I, a mere speckle of me

That once obtained, I realized

What a fool I was for hoping

In dreams of hope unworthy.

As the shackles of purity gave away

And the blind me could see,

'Such a fool' I say

'The me was indeed pure ivory'

And now I bleed into a blur,

For the world i now see

Is me in the stage of perdition...

I now stand free from tethers

Yet enclosed in emotions so murk,

That the mere speckle of me

Has turned far too caliginous to return.

As I endure each day's pain 

A stray tear slips by 

And slides down my frozen self

'What good is freedom,

 If lost our sanctum?'
