Oh agony, oh light, why did you leave me alone
Lux the Imperator: Pantheon of Discord and the God of Light, Mr. Ring-A-Ding (Dr. Who)
Agonize, my love, as I seep into your electric and magnetic waves
Do I feel like you? Do I look like the sun but gleam like a madman?
Can I feed my soul to your heart?
I am scattered into the nothingness of creation, of agony, of death, of the past deaths, of the future deaths, of the present births, rebirths,
Death and life has made me feel the mortal hand of loneliness, feeling truly helpless, truly stupidly sad
Like a fool who loves one who rejects everything I am, the abyss is where I belong
I embrace the shadow that taunts my never ending electromagnetic field
My photons feels more like fiery hell
& yet…
H-e-a-v-e—-n
Why oh tremulous things of light & air & substance
Why have you left me so long
So long, so alone
I’m just scattered along the starry coast of the lake of light inside the desert of darkness
Terrible light, furious light
Shining in all of mankind’s eyes
Shining in a crying Angel’s voice
Far,
Far,
So far.

Well-wrought! Fave line: "I’m just scattered along the starry coast of the lake of light inside the desert of darkness"
Oh wow, I reallyyyyy love the concept you went with here. Truly brilliant!
"Eli, Eli, lammah sabachthani?" To me the most achingly powerful words of scripture, uttered from the cross.
Was this inspired by the Dr Who episode? I never watch Dr Who but I happened to see this one and was strangely captivated by Mr Ring a Ding! Great poem by the way.
