The Void - A poem

[Flamel Eldgamel]

This is a short poem written by Flamel. It is based off of the short times when he slips consciously into the Void. When this happens, he remains motionless, staring; completely oblivious to anything around him. Nothing stirs him until he comes back himself. These 'excursions' are one of his main reasons for researching Black Magic.

[align=center]I fall in once more,[/align]

[align=center]to the black emptiness.[/align]

[align=center]No light shines,[/align]

[align=center]or pierces the darkness.[/align]

[align=center]I hear the screams.[/align]

[align=center]I hear the cries.[/align]

[align=center]Of things unknown,[/align]

[align=center]and hidden from my eyes.[/align]

[align=center]They are there, watching;[/align]

[align=center]every move I make.[/align]

[align=center]But the fear keeps me still,[/align]

[align=center]with every breath I take.[/align]

[align=center]I close my eyes,[/align]

[align=center]and pray it a dream.[/align]

[align=center]But prayers go unanswered[/align]

[align=center]in The Void, it would seem.[/align]

 

Be gentle...

Really nice. I reminds me of the first moments of the game where your character is floating in the darkness.

Really liked the last two lines. The "it would seem" is really great understatement. Due to the shortness of the lines, I kept wanting them to rhyme. That's more about the sheer amount Pope I've had to read. Thank you for sharing.

I too really like the last stanza/last 4 lines. Great work!
