Nepenthe - Horrendous

It’s a blinding, pervasive light

Today the sunrise is vermillion

I will drink the tears of the stars

Fill me with flames, shortcircuit my neurons

I probe the intangible spectra

Whisper truths to the ones who can’t speak

Climb out from the stifling void

Emerge the rising sons of neptune

But the path is perilous

Beware the siren’s call, it churns and swells

A respite to distract from the trail, but…

The nepenthe… it kills

Cast it aside

It allures, but the concoction is sinister

You shall not trespass at the gates of gods

Avert our wanton eyes, preclude our inquiries

With hollow stimulation and promises of eternity

Reject the nepenthe

Follow the serpentine vermillion to the brink of existence
