NIGHTERRORS II silence speaks volumes

Shattered, 
A city skyline weeps within
Tendrils of the deep
A broken world, time's cruel grin.

The compass needle spins insane
Lost in a dreamscape's refrain
Echoes of what was
Whispers in the silent mist.

The sky bleeds into the labyrinth
A canvas of lives lived out fast
Words etched in stone
that haunts forevermore. 

What Jagged maw, extends into eternity 
titan broken, spilling gears of city, drowned.

Pieces and parts of a mortal tear
twist in the hollow of time
 a nest of nightmares absent of rhyme.

A single, eye stares from the depths
reflecting a desolate shore, a skeletal horizon.

A monument to forgotten industry 
in the machinery of despair.
Dreamscapes bleed.,
Tentacled secrets unfurl. 

Time is bent and broken
Points on a compass unseen. 
Is this rhythm or requiem? 

An abyss stares back, unblinking. 
We are both creators and destroyers, 
Of oblivion. 
Listen closely.
The silence unspoken.
