In Dark Kingdoms

By Melankolia

The castle blocks the only light
The way to sanity sealed.
The winding path unto oblivion
The stars scream out from silence.
Locked in rooms of continuing madness
Finding shelter in the arms of death.
Windowless soul gazing beyond
What have you found among the shadows?

A break in the clouds, an ethereal haze
Lighting the path to the last watch.
The loneliness seems heavier than Earth
Perched on the back of Atlas.
So enter the Dark Kingdom....the panacea awaits.
Lay down in the cradle of thought...
Finding peace among the ashes...you will...
Be born again in new day's light.
