Octogreu

The journey begins on still nights beneath the moon

Not ushered in by owl or wolf

My house of generations, her emotions that night unwelcoming

She, angel at sight, monster at heart

My dwelling here, day and night are indivisible

Fleeing from the creatures that kiss in cold mirrors

Tearing through halls of endless shadow

She, a labyrinth of inescapable terror

Fragments of sanity cling to the rims of my mind

Sunrise to sunset, running for unseen exits

Nightmare deathless within the walls of the house

This godless journey through the night never ending

On the eve of my father's last

The turned crucifix crashed to the floor

And within the walls of House Octogreu

The sun had set forever

Bestowed upon me, she damned me

Eternal life of cowering with her entombment

Salvation now only a child of light, mind created

The stare of her windows, frozen and grim, binds me

At the front door, she's barred and sealed me away

Ashes of her heirs, scattered all about the floor

Her families, submerged in a ghostly lake down below

Am I to join them for tranquility?

Her curse never ending

My line never escaping

Since the sun had set forever

Within the walls of House Octogreu

 

Reviews

I'm not much for reviewing.
Mainly because I suck at reviews.

But I like to comment, and I'm curious to know, what inspired the name "Octogreu"?

You've got quite a way with imagery.
It leads me to believe that maybe you can describe your dreams explicitly well.

very interesting......I am left with catacombs and cobwebs wondering of lineage...family trees....and descent in all forms
