Void. Darkness. Emptiness.
Of mind, of thoughts, of events -
I see a flicker of light;
Nada. A Mirage.
Void. Darkness. Emptiness.
Emptiness permeating everything;
At peace, I am now, losing,
myself in this void.
Tranquility within myself;
long devoid of internal conflicts,
turmoil - tearing myself apart.
Emptiness filling up my entire being
Every waking moment
And even when not...
Void. Darkness. Emptiness.
Aphrodisiac - to have not
Experienced this emptiness.
My Opium.
Convoluted thought processes,
Sense of reasoning, discretion,
All marked clearly by their
Absence...
Void. Darkness. Emptiness.
Emptiness imbuing me;
Engulfing me.
And from the void,
I see a familiar figure rising,
As though from the ashes.
A distant silhouette, contours
Defined by darkness...
Form defined by nothing.
And as I approach the figure, it disappears
Leaving, but a lingering
Presence in the ripple
Of the void.
A ripple ...
A last wave ... and
empty once again.
Void. Darkness. Emptiness.

Emptiness is the state of trance which is the road for salvation.
I guess this poem is about the thought on the existence of emptiness and trying to come out of it. The best part is that how it explains that a ripple can also be a ray of hope and every small good in life should always be welcomed.
Your poem has a very gut-wrenching effect on me, although you mentioned that you were not in a sombre mood when you wrote it. Though very beautifully written, I for one, am not going to read it when I am feeling low :)
Just when one thinks that finally there is a slight hint of hope, you put an end to it too .. quite mercilessly ..
Void darkness, emptiness filling it.
making me cringe
look within..
the familiar abyss
of void darkness, filled with nothing.
making me grapple,
for words for moments to pulley me out
from the void darkness filled with nothing
making me shudder
at the engulfing cosmic universality of
void darkness filled with nothing
i wriggle to purge my being of
the encompassing void darkness filled with nothing
i feel me but numbing inch by inch
it has engulfed me, you and the galaxy,
the void darkness which has now filled everything.
