Staring Into the Abyss

Lachrymal layers within the Abyss of love’s laments that reminisce
Upon the edge a barbarous bliss which began with the eternal kiss
Where serpentine shadows swell and the jaded jackals joyously yell
Riding the conundrum carousel an elliptical obliquity of their dwell

Spectrum colors fade to black in creation of the parasitic paranoiac
Marauding memories of the amnesiac harried hearts of the cardiac 
Forever falling within the pensive pit where my soul begins to split
Corrosions of conformity commit where gods of good & evil transmit

Absolute oblivions that hibernate emotional echoes that magistrate 
Illicit Idols that isolate commanding the fallen angels to germinate
Gravitational graveyards in rotation and demons dance in damnation
Malignant matter in mutation dispersing fear and irreversible isolation

Whirlpools of the great divide where some will escape and others hide
Where the defeated darkness is my bride and sub-zero sorrows collide
Whispering wounds with a hiss escaping velocity of loves that we miss
Mortality such as this all stands still as we stare into the abeyance abyss.
