Forgotten Tome
By
Myself Unbeknownst

Spinster's spinning spool
From the bottommost pool
To the heartless peeling lofts
Atrophied webb'd-brain be lost
Inside the distant maze
Outside the spidery haze
Blue jacket, broken spine
Vortices in vertigos unwind
Torn out pages, empty between the covers
Loneliest shortening left with my druthers
Drifting timelessly at sea
Inconsistent transparency
Soulless cage, blackened heart, forgotten tome
Spellbound in a fugue is where I roam
Underwater veil, beneath the sheet
Eyelids beneath crysalis, encrusted sleet
Godless peoples locked in a winter's night
Pickpocket prophets turn the cruelest sleight
The digger's ditch enwalled in a solo dance
The softest deathly hush is the duskly trance
Arms bound in this manner
Ageless eye-croft scanner
Is all that I dream a fictional race?
Nightmarish high-life minus the embrace
Stinging dagger's sweetest promise, for this enclosing asymmetrical cell is the coolest dungeon, warmest plague, and unmysterious of all.  All unforeseen life is like a forgotten tome, pageless and wordless, like a hollowed prophetess holding back the blissless kiss. Nightshade and scream-monger waltz hand-in-hand, like a warpath firebrand.
