Love and the Darkness therein

i scream out from the vale of defeat,
my apparition comes to be a shadow of
death and its warriors,
my conquerors have refused the battle an end
i scream for an end to this eternal torture

therein lies my fault,
inside this deep cavern of solipsism
wherein man findeth not himself and,
shadows deputise for the weak

i await a transition into another state,
away fom this sight that is, Me
yet! i can not see inside of me
there seems to be a deeper cavern,
a Darfur of the heart,
where blood and silt flow in unison
and lies and vengeance bond together

i dare to dream
only nothing seems to emerge
the darkness has swallowed me,
deeper than i thought,
i am almost a part of this darkness
a part of the deceit, envy and lust

But i realise it is darkness?
then light exists!
Yes! i am not totally etiolated

i am just far too lost in thought
then the first ray of light
strikes me
and i awake to life
to reality
to the truth
to HER
to LOVE
