Marooned by cyber will

maids betrothed to oblivion

languish in fetid caverns

of aged, live corpses

rearing to seize hearts

and conjure Mesmer power

in flaming esoteric dance.

As grisly drums vibrate

rocks bellow and fragment

signs appear in havens

where mirrored portals open.

A marbled stairway gleams

Dimensions of light beckon.
