Since every profile is foredoomed to destruction <br /> <br />each one of the profiles that together are the world <br /> <br />is a skull <br /> <br />These skulls together constitute a necklace <br /> <br />that dangles from the neck of a woman <br /> <br />She is the naked reality <br /> <br />standing on the corpse of the world of eyes and ears <br /> <br />She is the light that shines <br /> <br />When one is blinded <br /> <br />She is the noise that is heard by deafness <br /> <br />She is the smell when noses <br /> <br />are helpless <br /> <br />She is the taste <br /> <br />when the tongue is incapable of taste <br /> <br />She is the touch <br /> <br />when the skin is incapable of feeling a touch <br /> <br />She is thought <br /> <br />when the mind becomes thoughtless <br /> <br />She is the Dark Matter <br /> <br />that pulls the phnomenal world <br /> <br />by its nose <br /> <br />to utter emptiness <br /> <br />From darkness we come and to darkness we go <br /> <br />From emptiness to emptiness <br /> <br />From darkness to darkness <br /> <br />our sojourn <br /> <br />is ridden with hopes and despair <br /> <br />joys and sorrows <br /> <br />unions and separations <br /> <br />From darkness to darkness <br /> <br />Let us look into the eyes <br /> <br />of leaden eyed despair <br /> <br />and fall at the feet of the dark lady <br /> <br />who feasted on the blood of that poacher <br /> <br />Shakespeare <br /> <br />and stands on the breast of the fallen <br /> <br />phenomenal world<br /><br />Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-darkness-to-darkness-2/
