This poem came from something that suddenly struck me while I was camping a while ago. The first paragraph just hit me while I was sitting there, and after muttering it to myself a few times, I decided to write it down befoer I forgot it. Later, when I was typing it, I worked on it and came up with this poem. The quote at the beginning is something I came up with specifically for this poem. It's supposed to be a kinda "cross my heart, hope to die" sorta thing when making a promise.
"I promise this, I swear to you, may the stars fall if my word's not true. My life is yours; do as you will. If I betray, may all fall and fail."
Everything falls,
It drops, it plummets
Death rains,
It falls from the sky
Pouring down upon the earth
As a cold bringing flame
As the end draws nigh
The astral bodies fall screeching to earth
This is it, the last assault
An acid test,
To decide the fate of our race
The actualization of our worst fears
Multiplied a hundredfold
As the screaming terrors' onslaught goes on
A bone-chilling aphasia sweeps o'er the world
A death-hush; a final, silent prayer
For this calamity to end
But it continues.
As all falls apart and the stars drop from the sky
Nothing matters, all is lost
Panic and terror rule over earth's last hour
No premonitions conceived by any mind
Could e'er have measured up to this
Beyond all comprehension, time itself fails
And the aeons unite, in a single moment
Of neverending horror that persists for the mere blink of an eye
Earthend--never expected, never forseen
Stiking with unimaginable fury and magnificence
Purifying and corrupting in one fell swoop
Diamonds dissipate
Wills shatter
Souls are torn
Death and life amalgamate into one
Love is razed
Annihiliation is lost
Being is destroyed
Nothing itself cannot be found,
And existence is naught but a faint mem'ry
Why did we wish for starfall?
