When In Hell Do As the Demons Do

Within Dantesque fields of dust a calcifugous crushing crust In layers of lactating lust demoniac deception a deist distrust Hibernating hallucinations of hope in cathedrals trying to cope As we push the envelope on a rambunctious rapacious slope Tangled in declivitous dreams haunting breaths of silent screams Reality is not what it seems sailing souls in sanguineous streams Rays of darkness in derelict display like the mantis in perpetual pray Dragon’s fire of seditious spray falling asleep admits meadows grey Mellifluous mansions of desire nestled in the night a papal pacifier Mephistophelian monstrosities up for hire an abysmal abulic attire Dancing demons in anamorphic air a scurrilous seduction in a stare Fallacious faces in their lair semisynthetic surroundings in a scare.

You depicted this picture of nightmare with your usual, precious words. Very intense and appropriate for hell-like nightmare. Haven’t seen you lately in this space WW..glad you are back. Best for a win.
