Dancing In Blackholes

coinciding numbers direct a sad chorus of insanity
haunting seekers of a fellowship
that has long been bred out of human nature

and the conductor's wand sweeps low
catching the attention of unlikely spectators
a motion intended only to entertain

however the glaze of fantasy will slip
unfocused, a blur of facades rush past
intoxicating already tainted minds with too-familiar confusion

time scatters until no 'tick' nor 'tock' marks a measured length
it seems the only thing to do is glide in a circular dance of flight
waiting out a trance that may never reverse itself

each long forgotten breath is a reminder of an omni-present fear
such a one that will masquerade long after the sunrise
relieving every spirit of its last thread of reality

onward all will spiral, a sort of fall that seems to climb higher
this lack of control drives its captives to work harder
though their ascention yields no greater view or hope

chased by a guilt of unknown origin each will flee
thrown more surely into their task of falling
and gripping a new delusion of darkness with urgent fingers

only a solitary few still curse an alignment of digital variation
chests heaving in a fit of rage that will quietly go unnoticed
after all, who would drag themselves out of their selfish clamor even to glance

with the tip of a hat unseen until the most recent of moments
the conductor signals an ebony choir that sways as one
and the words to be sung are, "Humbly we await the end"

Author notes

Yeahhh, I went somewhere weird with this one.
I met a prophet today that pretty much picked me up and dropped me on my head.
I had a lot of fun with this one, try to just let go when you read it.

Enjoy.
Allura

    what kind of prophet is my question. hey, it's been a long while. how are you? This speaks volumes. you can email me or visit my blog for a more prompt response. i'm finally letting go of the ghosts and embracing the future. this place feels like it belonged to another life for me. It's like a dress I wore in a past life - somehow familiar but strangely so...
    Hope you are well and i'd love to hear about this prophet.
    take care, K

      I'm afraid I've lost your email and don't know your blog.
      This place feels all wrong to me as well, but then, so does everything.
      It seems as if I am the blackhole lately.
      MoonlapseVertigo55@gmail.com Let's be proactive, that's my email. Instead of me waiting for you to see this and then you waiting for my email, just email me when you see this. =]
      Tell you all about the prophet later.

      Kisses.

    Wow.
    I loved this.

    (I haven't talked to you in forever! I miss your reviews. (: )

    It was really interesting.
    You created this really in depth picture, but it's weird because ... I don't even know why.
    (Don't mind my babble. I'm just thinking out loud.)

    It's really relatable, I know I feel like this a lot.
    And it's sort of one of those epiphony things. Yo u know?

    Anyways. Nice job. (:

      Aw, thanks sweets.
      I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

      Sorry I haven't been around much. My internet was out for a while there, with moving and such. And right now it's on, but it keeps coming like in and out, so it's sort of sketchy what I can do. I really hate when I'm in the middle of a comment or something and it dies.
      I miss your writing! <3

      I've been having some really strange experiences lately, and then amplified by living in a world of boxes... I'm feelin' pretty crazy. I keep drawing pictures of people holding axes behind their backs, 'cause that's what I sort of feel like. xD I don't know if any of that helps at all.

      Epiphony is a good word to go with this poem...

      Thanks, honey, really.

    OMG! Roses!! >_>

    I like... Wifey... I like... LOVE this one!! It's so creative! It really is. I'm amazed, your poetry only seems to get better and better.

    This poem actually reminds me of when my muse comes to me allowing the creative juices to flow, so to speak. Probably because they mess with your brain! >_o

    Ouch, actually... This is a really spectacular piece! You should be a poet. >_> And no, not just one here on AP! Lol. A REAL poet. o.o;; Do it... Lol!

    Love You Roses!!

    Wifey,
    Alure Maryianov (Lol.. you know, the first time I got my name as Alure, it reminded me of you! And then I noticed your name! XD)

      Oh wifey, that's so sweet.
      I am really quite proud of this one.
      It seems like I can't read nearly as much these days, but when I do it's usually pretty good.
      I'm so glad you liked it, loves.

      I do hope to write some poetry 'professionally' but I don't think I could ever really depend on it as a career- I'm too inconsistant. But that is a very nice compliment.

      Haha, yeah, ever since the name 'Allura' was given to me I'm completely obsessed with it, and the word 'alluring.' =]

      Much love; many kisses.

        Yeah, it is a really great piece.
        Of course I liked it.. No, I LOVED it.
        This piece was really like perfection to me, it was amazingly written.

        Though, I'm not saying to make a career just based off of your poetry, I'm saying that like a second career, on the side, if you will, you could write a few professional pieces. Specifically, if you do, you can write your own collection in your own time-or something like that. Lol.

        I know. ^_^ I LOVE that name... And that word. :]

            You're welcome love.
            ^_^

            Yes, you go get that big corporate job and then caaaallll me, hun. Then like... kidnap me and make me your slave!

            We could be like... I don't know! Oh wait! Let's become secret agents next! We can be like, "Freeze! Put down the sausage or I shoot!"

            That would be so much fun! And then... You'll be like... writing that masterpiece!! OMG! Steak Sauce! Lol. x]

            You know what else is alluring?

      Thanks sweetie.
      I'm glad you like it.
      Eww, concussions... no fun. I've had many scares where they always think I have a concussion and won't let me go to sleep. Like on Friday. And then I don't have one and they made me miserable for nothing.

      Much love; many kisses.

    Well then Mistress Allura,
    This one is fantastic...!! I could completely understand where you were going here. I made a confusion connection and often this is how i feel ....lol..
    My fave lines are ..

    onward all will spiral, a sort of fall that seems to climb higher / this lack of control drives its captives to work harder / though their ascention yields no greater view or hope....
    [Aimlessly wandering through the feilds of society with no ending to the 'Big Brother' syndrome...]


    only a solitary few still curse an alignment of digital variation / chests heaving in a fit of rage that will quietly go unnoticed / after all, who would drag themselves out of their selfish clamor even to glance.....
    [For within the mind of the distinctly twisted there is no room for others...]

    AND YOU CALL ME A MASTER!!!!
    You are a CHAMPION!

    Loves Ya

    Jeffro

      Awww, thank you, sweets.
      That was a wonderful comment.
      I feel a lot like I'm spiraling lately, and it's quite confusing, as well as other things.
      Really glad you liked it.

      Thanks Master.

    yeah, it is kinda weird, but pretty cool. the language is just so great.

    The first line is like...confusing...but sounds so good you don't care.

      Thank you, that means a lot.

      Haha, yeah, that part makes the most sense to me but it would be rather odd to explain.
