My painting, differ from the night before
The goat, the rat has moved within the canvas
His figure presented within the doorway
Horned silhouette, living shadow
It’s here I can feel its filthy gaze
Putrid stench fills my home
Down the stairs, they are never ending
Lights guiding them down
In the mist, another world is waiting
My black drink presented at the bottom
Peering down into the cup
My reflection slowly disappears into the blackness
It absorbs me, I consume it
My beloved haze returns
How I’ve missed feeling weightless, unburdened
The mist thickens, tall roots creeping up the walls
Where do I truly reside
She calls out to me, a melody from heaven
Resonating all around, absolute purity
I cannot help myself, I must find her
She is mine and I hers
She whispers it to me in my dreams
So familiar without any recollection
Come and be with me
Together we’ll receive our ascension
By the fountain is where she waits
In the water nude
Long black hair covers her, she turns to me
May I heal you?
I cannot form words, she moves closer
Gasping for air I struggle to breathe
She is beautiful, I feel frightened and calm
All in one instance
She now stands before me
Her skin cold as ice
My thoughts escape me
My soul is torn
My consciousness fades
