Save

Have you the courage to reach across the Abyss for the whore of Babalon? To face the demon Choronzon within the realm of dispersion? Only thus canst thou join the Masters of the Temple...
The Abyss Through the light-years I searched for you Long eons walking through domains Lost to thought of mortal man Where distance is inconsequential But time strips bare the bones of remembrance Leaving friends and lovers blind In the demesne of eternity Torn asunder from both past and future The broken spring of clockwork time lies coiled at my feet And I drift amid the stars Wrapped tight in a sheath of irresistible limbo Hearing and seeing nothing through the filter of madness Comprehending everything and nothing As the universe rotates around the pain of a tortured child Welcome, traveler, welcome to the shores of The Abyss Welcome, seeker, welcome to the heart of the neutron star To the super-fluid core of the magnetar To the Event Horizon at the gates of infinity Eternal home of my lover, Choronzon Dread demon of dispersion Deadly guardian of the roads to heaven and hell Welcome!

Hey,

repaying the review. Great poem... I have like three poems about the abyss and one painting. Its a great and complex topic to cover. I also love the singularity/event horizon...You must like dragon, and wizards and stuff? I am obsessed with the lady of the lake, working on a short about her.. Much love and write on...

Maybe i will just stay alive a bit longer as I don't want to tangle with that Choronzon guy/girl/thing/creature guarding both those roads...Ed & Rufuz [w00f]

Yes and many are hallicinating on the way to their heaven and hell, aren't they? This powerful demon that guard these places has captured many in their tangerine dream. Beautiful ride trough the universe and the universe of the mind, very descriptive and picturesque poem Keith, Jasmin Horst
