I swore I'd take myself

to realms of liquid lake

where hate squid surfaces

and scum a delectable sin

but earth pulls

duty stings

peace draws

invisible string

my refuge is my mind

a place I choose to hide

dark corner, wrapped in hell

of other these eyes spell

astral traveler

burns his home

takes a ship

to earth bore

waves drop to earth core

vessel heaves and cracks

kraken rises higher

swallows hero whole

swimming deeper

to aether gate

Cthulu melds

into sea of hate

regurgitate

man form spews

toward star lake

found his truth

no earth pulls

duty sings

of my becoming

endless being
