Thrall

Light a chord progression of sulphur, silver and mist
Set it serpentine and weight the tail 
Fixed upon jewel eye, begin your pass between upright columns
Dimly ribbed it clasps the shallowing shadow
Growing pale from black with furrowed intent
Aware of depth of tone and grains of structure
Static lattice encompasses plasmonic manuscript
Fang undoes the bolt, the door swings free
Creaked cacophony emitted by hinges three
Like clouds fast cross the peaks
The serpent's scales weigh the dream 
And the tale it does hiss comes measured equally
So step onto stair of basalt or granite or gold
And wind in this labyrinth where the vines are old
And the gourds are hollow and the insects are flat
And the feathers hover and silent are the bats
And amongst the orbs of platinum is but one graphene cube
Which suits your purpose if you wish to pursue
The wake of your chords, the snake rattles the gourds
The charm of holophony ringing true 
Your palm presses on corners, volts engage focus 
Electric blue now this room adorned with crystalline crocus
Spirals span from your heart, emblazening your view
Of the throne in the centre, humming for You
