“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”
― Cassandra Clare


Its tenebrous beauty swallows me whole
Taking my dreams and shaking my soul
The infinite void presses my doubts
Changing my creed and removing my shroud
I have nowhere to hide from this ubiquitous pitch
Pervading my spirit and tearing my stitch
I am drowning within my own cognition
At the sight of this expansive apposition
Logic becomes a powerless fool
At the feet of this aphotic jewel
Our trivial minds cannot grasp its splendor
For it is neither the side nor the center
I surrender, I surrender
