The Seduction
So there I was.
Standing right on the edge of this fucking huge vortex, watching everything around me get sucked in with amazing speed & force. Then implode on itself leaving debris scattered as far as I could ever hope to see.
Yet, I myself could not feel the pull.
Strangely enough, my balance was purely impeccable. But that does not mean that the effects of the catastrophe were lost on me.
Oh no my dear friends
in fact, as we all know, chaos rules
& the King of which had sent a ransom for this jester.
When you have nothing to lose, you tend to pay with anything or anyone that you can get your hands on & I was not averse to throwing a few seemingly innocent, sacrificial offerings to appease the beast that was screaming my name in the cold, still night.
However,
“You cannot see the eyes of the demon, a till him come callin’!”
Well, who was I to deny him of what he had on offer for my troubles as it were.
Now at this point I feel I should address that, while this may read with a dark underlying tone I am not bringing said things to light because I regret anything that may or may not have happened or has yet to happen.
Merely just to record it here for the purpose of posterity.
Beings of instinct will understand that it is not always up to the individual on which path it is they choose to tread. Even more so when the path you wind up on, has chosen you.
Beckoning to your very soul with words that are always left unsaid, yet, whispered in such a way they could not possibly go unheard.
It has long been maintained that, as soon as you cease to search for something it has the most terrible & maddening habit of, not only immediately presenting itself, but stands there directly in front of you, demanding nothing short of your complete & undivided attention.
This is not always a problem & has quite often been the best way of obtaining something long sought after.
So, what has all this nonsensical ranting have to do with anything at all, I hear you ask?
Well perhaps nothing at all, yet.
Sometimes things have a way of explaining themselves better than any amount of words could achieve.
This is your crossword puzzle, so you fill in the blanks.
Wise words echoed in my ears the whole time: “Buy the ticket, take the ride. No sympathy for the devil.”
As it were & as it should be for the devil incarnate himself.
Destruction has always been far more appealing to me,
yet I also crave a certain level of order, which could in part completely rip everything to pieces.
This brings us back, to the seductive vortex I found myself standing over.
Watching with utter obedience, waiting for the next big
BOOM!
Being a creature of a sometimes, over-intense observing nature. I know that there is nothing in this case, that I have any control over at all. This is, within itself, terrifying & yet somehow so completely bewitching all at the same time.
Along with the afore mentioned tendency to over observe, comes the counter-balance of over-analyzing everything to a point where you are left with so many variables on the subject and then ultimately:
confusion.
So where do you go from there?
Is it wise to stop thinking and focus only on the here and now?
What happens, when the vortex swallows you whole?
Not only spinning out of control yourself, but also being treated to a full-force, horror viewing of every tiny thing that was sucked in before you, get ripped to pieces right in front of your very eyes.
Choking you with the dust of a thousand broken hopes, dreams and cold harsh reality.
There really is only one thing that can be done at such a time.
Hold the fuck on to anything that remains stable, pure and true. These things present themselves in many different forms.
The most important thing is that they contribute a certain level of optimistic outcome for the intense amount of energy & emotion that will ultimately, manifest within you.
With no such outlet, there becomes a build-up of pressure behind the blockage.
If the pressure is not dissipated, the resulting effects are explosive not to mention potentially destructive.
Humans are like walking time-bombs.
Some far more explosive than others.
But even a small blast in the right area can cause total mayhem.
It really needs not to be said, as this is pure fact about every single one of us.
We will all go off at some point, some will cause massive impact.
Most will fade out before they are even noticed, but we all fall victim to at least one completely life changing shakedown.
What you do and how you come out of it on the other side is up to you, your personal convictions, beliefs and ultimately experience in life itself & the lessons learnt along the way that will become the judging factor of how the fall-out is dealt with.
