Death awoken

A.B. Jakobsen

I loathe this dreaming menace so

For had i known what skulked behind its grotesque gates 

I'd have thought this insomnia a blessing

But of all the nebulous roads that my mind could traverse 

It chose the bourne which i shan't soon forget

And the impossible terror that has me beset

A cacao daemonical god which sleeps immemorial 

Shared its dreams of beyonds with me  

And its black venomous blood crept my dreams nigh

Till all I knew had sunk forsaken 

In infinite billows of boiling black

And thro most striking horror, I felt myself waken

But with open eyes I was taken aback

For persevering darkness had enslaved my sight

My heart had seized its stoic beat

And yet, my thoughts remained intact 

 

Now in timeless passing I've stood upon 

These dark desolate azures  of great infinity

Yearning for the warm glow of the morning sun 

That lies deep in clutches of wicked divinity
