“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!”

A dives deep into existential despair, cosmic inevitability, and fleeting moments of human connection, with a raw intensity that feels both personal and universal. 

DARKNESS OVERCOMES LIGHT

Darkness overcomes light, 
not a matter of balance, 
of Yin and Yang, 
as they say, 
a quaint theory 
that proves nothing, 
only its fragility 
in the universe of chaos 
and devastation, 
where all erupts in the final flare,  
of a dying star,
plunging into a black hole.

Darkness overcomes light

In this “birth, copulation and death”, 
body’s captivity, 
desire and pain. 
Pathetic drag of this survival, 
in the mediocre ignorance
that chokes us all.

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!” 
There’s more shadow than shine in the universe.

Darkness overcomes light

Lower me then into the chill of my winter tomb, 
with a soul stripped of answers. 

I come from a dark place
where a child can be born dead 
in the tearing silence of indifference, 
from the guilty horror
of a blind humanity
that murders a planet.

Darkness overcomes light  

and time tightens its grip, 
I’ve forgotten the past, 
I do not know what tomorrow holds. 

Only few moments remain to be happy. 
I cross your sweet threshold,

and,

as I lose myself 
in the deep space of your dark eyes, 
tears and despair seem forgotten.

Luca Della Casa
