The Dream Descent
By Riven Waker
Each thought alludes me to follow
As I drown in tormented anguish
The realization of this sophistic way
Artifice deadens by collective
cascade
Cold tentacles reach out to every soul
Clutching
the once cherished in blind
Hatred and madness displace all held
Dearly bought are the baubles there
Flay the skin of the sentient
deceiver
Rend her flesh and lay her barren out
Hallowed and torn
to charnel cleaved
Terrors and voids swim narrow ethers
Die
again leaving one and do not cease
Do not question the horrors before
you
Threadbare in torture they shall kneel
The blissful writhe
in endless death - soon to pay
These are the depths of meaning
in shadowed lakes
Jest as the mealymouth philosophy they've sold
It will be as such in the grimmest mock tone
Slaughtering creation
turning salvation astray
Beams of angelic light trapped forever
In black mirrored and lightless labyrinth
Eyeless slave gods
devour flickers of night
When daylight was the sum of all eons of
life
As the dreamers descend into {coldest} oblivion
Arise
nightmares awaken and conquer

Powerful and post-apocalyptic feel. As usual vivid visuals throughout. I really liked the way you ended it in the last two lines. Left me wondering what would happen next. Cool man.
