Eleusis

 

 

***

In stygian Eleusis, moon's pale glow withers, 

Murmurs coil boughs, secret vows whispered. 

Initiates light eldritch fires, piercing cosmic abyss, 

Persephone's wail echoes, haunting ethereal hiss.

 

***

Torches illuminate nightmarish path, sanity unraveled, 

Symbols woven into the rite, madness traveled. 

Through accursed hallways, Demeter's cosmic chase, 

Sacrament profane, unveiling darkened embrace.

 

***

Hierophant's threshold, keeper of lore's blackened core, 

Mysteries unfold, revelation through abyss explored.

No words, only echoes of chants, hanging in accursed air, 

Eleusis, harbinger of enigmas, where horrors declare.

 

***

O Eleusis, shadows and dread moonlit dance,

Seeker merge, soul ascends, remnants enhance.

A vessel for revelations, ineffable concealed, 

Whispers hush, lights flash, mysteries are revealed.
