NIGHTERRORS V something speaks in stone
In a realm where silence speaks in stone
A fractured facade , all hollowed and alone
It stands, a sentinel in broken guise
With ancient eyes beneath a darkened sky.
Its face, once whole, now torn by time
Splits open like a forgotten rhyme
And through the crack, the void does creep
A doorway to where the shadows sleep.
Spires twist from ruins lost in air
Climbing upward, defying despair.?
With roots of thorn and vines of steel
Its crumbling form, forever sealed.
Eyes that pierce, yet do not see
A watcher bound in eternity.?
Behind the mask, the winds still moan
Of kingdoms lost and thrones of bone.
Yet something stirs within that space
A hidden echo, a trace, a face—?
A whisper from the past it hides
Locked in the prison where time resides.
And though the world may break and fall
The sentinel stands, above it all
Guarding secrets, silent, grim
In its heart
the void
light grew dim.
