The Lure Of My Abyss

A Poem by Davidgeo

.

in a dialogue with my nature

on the lure of the abyss

he says this to me...

at the bottom lies

what would consume you

but first steels your mind

turns your flesh into iron

provides you demons to battle

bathes your body in fire

provides you angels to love

flowers your soul with passion

all from the bottom

to you on your way

into the greatest unknown

where lies what will destroy you

where what will transcend you

turning the broken into fixed

giving pieces to make whole

all on your journey to the bottom

where lies what eventually will ruin you

again break you down

consume you

piece by piece

destroy you entirely

swallow your everything

eventually

leave you whole again emptied

to float downward

finally to the bottom

when you let it

when youre ready

when youre tired

from your journeys

from your battles

from carrying all the metals

and scars from the fires

you will float

to the bottom

strongly aged

fiercely loved

naked and fearless

then you will see it

in your end

you feel what it was all along

what lured you all this time

in the end

you will be welcomed

by our nature

into our abyss

to take rest amongst the rest

This was a great piece! I enjoyed all the visuals you scattered throughout the poem. You did an excellent job of wielding emotion to make a point.
I would use some punctuation more purposefully. I think some dashes and periods would help make some points more heavy.
Thank you for sharing!
