1. CONUNDRUM UNFOLDS

The deathless void
Nothingness beyond the conscience
Disordered desire
The hollow vastness, a shelter of torment
The scorching fever
Amidst the blistering cold
I writhe and shiver
As riddles unfold

In the absence of light
I confront the darkness within me

Towards the unconscious
Sudden leap into infinity
Severed from the divine hand
And immersed in apathy
Emptiness is calling me again
The enticing agony
When sacred becomes profane
In a pact with obscurity

The sunless chasm
The heinous incarnation
The abrupt spasm
In convulsions, I conceive my creation
The shapeless spawn
The substance misbegotten
Corrupt in the core
Withered and rotten

In the darkest of nights
I submit to the shadows inside me
