Numb

Sonance of silence
 devour you whole
inside catacomb of
 pungent sarcophaguses
An Ornated auburn seat,
 a posthumous throne.

Amidst unsettling dust
 of the cold damp tomb
That narrates
 Tale of once lived
pains endured
 and nemesis borne.

Under a tepid
 retreating light
eurythmy of sculpt
 as shadows seen..
While I, amongst elysian
 phantoms and kinsmen lie.

Sans regrets
 of mournful yores
embracing a perfect
 state of numbness
during life
 and after death alike..

Absolutely bewitching! I'm spellbound.

So wish I had written this.

Especially, "Under a tepid
retreating light
eurythmy of sculpt
as shadows seen..
While I, amongst elysian
phantoms and kinsmen lie.:

I am riveted. Speechless...

Yupp, me and my fondness for morbidity. Heehee.

Loved the ending, too. It renders the whole piece compact. ^_^
