Sea of Forgotten Dreams

Cold and dark, the eyes of the depths glaring at the stars above. Few dare descend the steps which reach down to oblivion’s cove. Heavy, the desire for truth, like the chains dragging my body further down unto fate unknown. Beyond recompense, lies the ruin sunken to forbidden ground, now home only to the strangest of creations and catacomb to the drowned slaves of history. Will all memories be as this one day? Ghosts that haunt the corpses of humanity’s ambition? Black are the bells that once chimed to announce omen. Buried are the thoughts that walked my mind. Broken are the tables where ideas once feasted. Bound are the hopes, eaten by preying sharks of doubt. Weighing down, the garments choke the breath of life. There, where insanity was sane, beneath facade’s streams lies truth, in the sea of forgotten dreams.
