Waking Heaven, Sleeping Hell
In the garden of eldritch horrors, I lay dreaming
While my heartbeat ends its gallop
And at last with a stop, I awake screaming
A dark moon hangs in the sky beaming
Piercing my soul with bleakness from atop
In the garden of eldritch horrors, I lay dreaming
Each night I return to the place of horrors teeming
A dark viscous fluid drips from every crop
And at last with a stop, I awake screaming
The faint light cast by the dark moon is always gleaming
A silence so horrible you could hear blood drop
In the garden of eldritch horrors, I lay dreaming
What is there to gain from this place of ill-meaning
Where I lay every night defenseless as a broken prop
And at last with a stop, I awake screaming
The memories of these terrors never stop streaming
The sounds of bleeding plants, carried by every raindrop
In the garden of eldritch horrors, I lay dreaming
And at last with a stop, I awake screaming

This piece is a villanelle I wrote inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's work, the inspiration can be seen in the wordplay and subject matter.
