OUBLIETTE

How much lower can a person get
Than drowning in an oubliette

They've lobotomized and pithed my brain
If I wasn't then, I'm now insane

Spinning down the vortex to hell
Where my soul will forever dwell

Save me from this cursed pit
Else by fate, I shall perish in it

I seek divine, truth, and light
But feel darkness as the night

Nighttime shines with moon and stars
Gods and goddesses from afar

Certainly They can lead me out
Toss me a line, show me the route.

Or if I'm to perish where I've been thrust
Here this body shall turn into dust

My soul will be free 'til time has an end
To join with my sister, lover, and friend.

Or send my soul to the Chamber of Guf
Perhaps this lifetime wasn't enough

I have just one wish when to my next life I ascend
I will have my sister, lover, and friend

~Gaylene

This was written over the last few days, it took a while to "give birth" to it, but as many, sometimes the best take time to come out. I am very happy with this poem, and hope you read it and see/feel the positive message I'm trying to convey.
