Fathom Infinite Depth |
| There is a pit I may have dug within one single frozen moment |
| In it lurks a haunting endless multitude of vile incarnate |
| We now are linked, I have become it’s counter-part |
| Its mindless pawn |
| Relentlessly racing encircling curse |
| Blistering, this unrelenting becoming to excavate |
| The rancid soil that lay upon the artifact |
| Why is my hand gone? |
| Constant begging, Pleading, Screaming |
| I attempt to reason with the recess |
| Fusing with the elder’s vision, to see as it sees |
| Does it hear me? |
| For I now hear it |
| This pit the past, and I the present |
| Deep behind my eyes we merge as one |
| This tunnel is the retina of the Ancients eye |
| Spewing forth from it’s dark chasm |
| The entangled, deranged, Constant vile constructs of the onyx |
| What lay beneath my eyes, exhumed from evermore |
| Our minds unable to measure |
| How minute yet immense the grasp of this vacuous gash |
| Excavating the pits innards |
| Bore an object that of which I craved possession |
| Slime, Reflective |
| I reach down to grab it, It eats my hand |
| Leaves my limb dripping |
| A taste of what awaits |
| I will take it to my casket, this incessant mesh of madness |
| My son and wife, and hand, and mind have left me |
| Incineration of my sanity leading me closer to death |
| Yet I must illuminate its fathomless depth |
| Emanating forces from this unearthly twisted retinal orifice |
| Drag me down at night to reveal |
| The awful dwellings of it’s depths below |
| Crepuscular visions of vastness haunting me |
| Trapping me. |
| Taunting me. |
| Draining me |
| Slithering liquid breathing |
| Black ooze leaking from my wounded limb |
| Insatiable, it’s gluttony to be fed |
| I want to wake up |
| I awake to find I’m staring |
| Oblivious into the pit that I have dug |
| Revolted yet I cannot turn away |
| Man’s attempt to fathom the infinite depth, lurking within finite matter |
| Man can’t fathom |
| Fuelling my crippling phobia of infinity |
| Consuming all within it’s potent grasp |
| After tasting my hand it demands more and more flesh |
| It sucks in stray birds from the withered grey sky |
| In fever I erode my fears. |
| Digging ever deeper still |
| As past, present and future collide |
| What remained of my mind is now crawling away |
| With the one hand that I have left |
| I wield the shovel that digs beyond earth |
| Through the dirt. |
| Through my eyes |
| Through the worms. |
| Through the world |
| As it stares deep into me, I respond with equal enquiry |
| Demented sycophantic liquid doppelgangers |
| Leak out to our surface |
| In search of life to feed into the gape |
| Taking over the world we know, as I join the world below |
| Merging with the spiralling retina of the mind’s eye |
| Altered, I face all my hells |
| Inside this pit I can’t crawl out |
| Man’s attempt to fathom the infinite depth, lurking within finite matter |
| Past the timeless tunnel awaits |
| Life in mass-less hyper state |
| Wake! |
