A sorcerous existence aloft times innuendo   Erect on pinnacled powers crescendo   Endowed with longing for immemorial allure   A nigh-forgotten vestal grace bestowed death premature      In the despondency of my craft absolute   I'll claim her back from 'neath cypress root   And venture descent down gulfs of crepuscular depths   Traversed, but by souls cursed, hellbound and unwept      By blood offering and commune ith the render of veils   Revealed was the dire path that leads on though the hells   Armed with resolve and hexian tools of the trade   A lone figure transcended the threshold of this stygian arcade      He endured tribulations of deathfiends vexed   Journey to ill-omened bottom ordealic perplexed   But at last his abysmal course took an end   In a place angels fear tread and legend portend      Cacophined by etheric familiars croon   Ensnared and absolved through blazing rune   Divulgations of necromantic revelations stargazed   Thundered the towering domes of charnel caves      With wizards shrewd, guile and cunning   Encircled by bloodsourced philtres bubbling   Amidst pentacular conjured preserve   Fabric of sepulchral reality was curved      Exempt from soil by cryptic verse   From death's repose a spectral Venus stirs   As a blaze born on Hadean night   With skin of graven marble and eyes bright lazurite      A vision returned from beyond the grave   To an abandoned soul which longing gave   A geas to a realm unshoned by Praesepe   For here to reside forever in phantom shaded matrimony
