Bailiwick of Legerdemain 3: The Skull of Anthraxus
By Riven Waker
Let us not enter that door
I whispered to her low
It passes only
one way
But she took me through
Nonetheless
She
passed away as I
Passed into madness
Upon the spiral stars
I abided with her
Charnel form
Alone
Passing down
the stairs
Ever upon the landing
With those horrid stares
Across the windowpane
The throng of insane women
Innumerable
upon the land
Possesed covering the span
To the infinitely distant
and
Endless horizon
Envincing vulgar and gory displays
Which I shall deign not to describe
Divulging their obscene hunger
That I should take my only exit
To brave and break across
that
Monolithic windowpane was my
Only answer
Building infinite speed across
Endless distance
Leaving
time undefined
Unmasking the torment
Leading to the walls of
Mirrored pools
Down the cataracts of the Styx
Dragging
my whole universe
Into the depths of the abyss
And what happens
when
B;ack holes collide
An eternity in the crypt
Awakened by the panther
And through that wall into
The
manifold chambered
Hive depth form cell
Labyrinthine
passageways
Lead to the countless attics
Where each overchild
shall
Make offerings to the demi
Lich altar
With
countless forms
Such as goat's head
Or raven's or anything
Imaginable
But in this realm a ram
The maggot ridden
head
Of Anthraxus taking form
With each new feeding
Glowing
brighter in the
Black light
And through the wall of
water
The pact of the warden and the cryptkeeper
I awake to the
cats growl
Neath the new moon I howl
To take out the other monsters
We are the overchildren
And we feed our fathers
Death

I'm really curious where this series is going to end up. Captivating would be an understatement. Your works play like a documentary in my mind. Write on sir.
