Octavarium

Octavarium

A Poem by nigrum homonculus
"

life comes full circle

"

I walk a path of gold

Stretching beyond the horizon.

Not aware of a pitfall.

I fade into the black with velocity.

Days it seems…years even.

Just descending into the noir.

But there seems to be light

At the end of this vertical tunnel.

 

Furiously I approach it.

Gaining speed with ambition.

I’ve exited the octavarium….

Landing firmly on my feet.

 

I walk a path of gold

Stretching beyond the horizon.

Not aware of a pitfall.

I fade into the black with velocity.

This is really insightful! I love how you ended it as it so began. It fit very well that way. I also love your words choices, such as velocity, noir, and octavarium.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing it with me. :)

I love love love the repetition in this. Almost as if the person might be trapped and forced to repeat day after day. Trapped between worlds? Trapped in time? I love this, great job!
