Channeling H.P. Lovecraft.
Dreams of Idh-yaa
(A lone voice whispers)
Her hypnotic ruby eyes
When she appeared, knocking softly on my front door
Wore me out instantaneously with revolving shadows
Blooming with mystical colours of deep dreams
Echos of an unexplored multiverse
A place where unfulfilled desires and cravings linked to lust
Could be so easily dissolved and resolved
They whispered of archaic realms
Revolving around humanity
Like old satellites unseen
Twinkling with sparkling obsidian dust infused with a fervent red shimmer
Of something transmigrational
Something so mysterious and sensuous
That when she suddenly willed it to appear
You could sense it would be utterly insatiable
Her smile carried a hidden memorandum and invitation
That was inescapable
For with one look
You knew her courage was unshakable
She appeared to me like a ghost in the night
Offered me a sharp drink
To sink before our libidos began to fight
Her real name is still truly a mystery to me
As I wait impatiently by the fireplace
At The Shadow and Key
For her return
But when I pause and reflect
Will I ever learn
And like so many before me?
Will I come to eventually understand?
That she's just one of the many saboteurs
Sent by the hidden Masters at Arms
Like wild-eyed birds as this world turns
To seduce and collect
Or am I just another blind fool
Chasing after love
As the world stands at one minute to midnight
Before everything goes nuclear and everyone burns
As submerged Gods dream
While their dystopian plans take effect
