Lullabies from the Underworld
A poem
A poem
Echoes reverberate through obsidian halls,
sombre whispers carried on decrepit wings.
Melodies seep from fissured stone,
birthed in the loins of the interminable abyss.
Primordial rites resonate,
chanting of eldest horrors, unkempt and unspoken.
Baleful murmurs from the maws of forsaken deities,
strains of dissonant genesis,
lullabies from the underworld.
Harmonies writhe in eldritch madness,
cradling malefic conjuring in discordant embrace.
Feverish wails bleed into tenebrous waves,
the susurrant mantras of places
untouched by light’s caress.
Abyssal recitations, vile and mesmerizing,
serenade the slumbering nightmare progeny,
their dreams aswarm with cyclopean whispers.
Crepuscular invocations rise,
an overture to shadowed rites
where obscure figures move in frenzied choreography.
A lugubrious siren call to those
who court the forbidden,
unravelling razors across their tainted souls.
From ebony throats pour forth unhallowed verse,
a virulent banshee nocturne
luring the unwise into eternal reverie
within perpetual night’s boundless heart.
