We sat as drenched pitch engulfed in ooze and time forgot
Deafened senses turned inwards to raucous sensations, pounding, prodding, spinning vomit
Light hammered out in steps of millionths of decrees
To dispose even brighter a magi evolve
Burning retina turned haloed inverse transfixed
Soaring hearts with each trick mind screamed in anguish deplored
Wishful Woven Web of answers implored
Truth died as the victim ignored
A crooked finger beckoned “Step this way”
A duck, a horse, a dog, seconds, hours, days. I do not recall
Laughter peels fell and washed unnoticed, unfelt
Reality struck regained its way
Ordained by slight of hand, the games reward
Mesmerised by an enlightened Cherub with reddened orbs
I cried “My saviour!”
Bound precious dopamine stupor induced, reduced
A fatal flaw paid by evolution’s 30 pennies, no more
Vibrating wildly externally calm
A ravished mind died that day
I wept and wept and wept
I’ve barely slept
