Percy Bysshe Shelley
Silence! Oh, well are Death and Sleep and Thou
Three brethren named, the guardians gloomy-winged
Of one abyss, where life, and truth, and joy
Are swallowed up--yet spare me, Spirit, pity me,
Until the sounds I hear become my soul,
And it has left these faint and weary limbs,
To track along the lapses of the air
This wandering melody until it rests
Among lone mountains in some...
The water rippled,
Yet didn't break,
I stepped lightly.
The flowers died,
The petals crushed,
I walked slowly.
The ice dented,
Cracks formed,
I ran quickly.
Leaves flew,
Blown away,
I stumbled slightly.
The ground opened,
Beneath me,
I slipped,
Into the abyss.
i am leaking
of my own accord
to relive every fucked up moment
a hundred lifetimes over,
and to pull them in the pit with me
so the gaping abyss isn't as lonely.
life goes by in a blur in this hole.
straight past the sunshine, the garden,
the love,
the light.
the abyss is all you know.
In this cold asylum
They drug me in the bottom
In this death of patients bed
I'm seeing my visions red
I know I may not be myself
Didn't you know, the illusion is ourself?
I never wanted to see my face
This is just a playing case
They never love to see me this
But I love being the abyss.
In the shallow waters, children play
Crashing waves all night and all day
Beautiful shells, colorful fish
For what more could one wish?
Then you go deeper, into the open
Where whales roam and ships lay broken
Filled with multitudes of life
With which the ocean is rife.
Deeper still, into the abyss
Where light dies and things seem amiss
Monstrous things with long, jagged teeth
Swim all around in the underneath.
Then there is the bottom of it all
It's there that you feel so very small
No man can go that deep
Down where lies the things that sleep.
I went into the deserts of dim sleep--
That world which, like an unknown wilderness,
Bounds this with its recesses wide and deep--
There is a pain -- so utter --
It swallows substance up --
Then covers the Abyss with Trance --
So Memory can step
Around -- across -- upon it --
As one within a Swoon --
Goes safely -- where an open eye --
Would drop Him -- Bone by Bone.
