Appointment with Loss by Damien Ashton Tuesday, July 22, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan
Foreclosure of infinity A prison built of lies Corrosion of serenity Salvations slow demise Beneath a shroud of sorrow Undoing what’s been done Obliteration of tomorrow Slaughtering all things to come The segmentation of stability Reason stripped from rhyme The vastness is now empty A fractured span of time Writhing just below surface A truth from which is run Now a fugitive of purpose And the ending that’s begun Within a forgotten memory Dwells a madness so serene Screaming the hidden history Of an uncontrolled routine And suddenly it shatters Each piece now of its own The whole no longer matters With nowhere left to roam Now all fades to nothing As land falls to the sea Comprehending this last something What is here will never be
Malevolent Minds

Sometimes it seems that this doom is a certainty, that it's only a matter of time before "the foreclosure." Will mankind cure the default? Great, well written, thoughtful poem, Damien!
