Nobody, Noone, Nowhere



A facedown vista drooped in meet with I,
Frowning along by hundreds of teeming own peril,
I could not discern one from the other from there up high.
Revealing my backend eye, fearing the all-of-it soon to meet my heckle,
There throttled and be held back, it would let me not out without a sigh,
I was alone, forgotten, and too wretched to be found even with the devil.

The interlude he spoke, fluttering a once, a twice, and a thrice,
Its incessant search for the place to call the blossoming bank,
Sought and fought for a welcome and entice,
Down the grottos, down the crevices from day's long sank,
Nothing but endless murk and inexplainable price,
He came to be here, the minus place to thank.

There and then I saw my hand in unison,
We became one and I empathize,
Did a twirl and smiled with a titan,
Soaring and bellowing I emphasize,
The thing we see in laden crimson,
Of what is to be a rhapsodize.
