Il Dominio Sconosciuto
By Jessica D'Ambrosio
A heavy mist surrounds me
and tries to take my breath away.
I cry out for help, yet no one hears my cries.
I scream in terror, yet no one hears my screams.
I long for a release, yet none comes to me.
I begin to dream and my reality becomes a fantasy.
I behold my grotesque realm sever in two.
A black and a white world unfold before me.
I tend to journey toward the black world,
with the knowledge that it will seize my soul.
The dark angel summons me to proceed.
His eyes are black as midnight
and they burn a hole through my spirit.
Into the arms of the master, this child becomes His own.
I do not resist as He possesses my soul.
He transforms me into one of His own dark angels.
So that I might guide another soul into His realm.
I have abandoned the white world established before me.
Not mindful of what was procurable to me, I disregarded it.
In its entirety, I have cast the option aside to go forth into an
unknown domain.
I dream of this world
and what it would have maintained for me.
My dreams are of a white fortress, most beautiful in nature.
With fantasies and riches abounding.
The master of this realm is a radiant, heavenly angel.
Yet it repulses me to behold her.
Her hair is of the most extravagant gold.
Her eyes, blue as ice, are intimate and captivating.
Yet, it repulses me to regard her.
She summons me on to soothe my weary soul
and I refuse with dignity.
I am not compliant to proceed toward the beautiful white light
that appears so comforting to me.
I deviate from the beautiful angel
and am drawn back to the dark angel in my blackened world.
As I impend upon my reality, I begin to speculate about what
has possessed me to relinquish my destiny.
I have forsaken the world full of beauty and splendor,
yet I am not in desperation.
I have chosen to abandon that which has been intended for me
in order that I may journey forth into a world of unknowing.
A world of obscurity and fantastic wickedness.
I accept this world in order to break away from the standard of society.
In order to destroy the mold that has been set
and obliterate society that once stood so strong.
