Poem - R'lyeh

I've been in a Lovecraft mood lately, and wrote this poem back at the beginning of the month. Next week I will check back in, and let you know how Camp NaNoWriMo went for July. For now, enjoy some Cthulhu-inspired terror!

R’lyeh

What days are these?
I find myself
Lost on darkened seas
I cry out, but no voice
Hears my muffled pleas

So turn I will
To splintered oar
My fate not yet seal’d
There is time yet, if
Courage is tempered as steel

From deepest black
Does shadow rise
Unfathomed crack
Where he abides
Deepest terrors wrack

As shattered steel
My fate becomes
Insanity crushes real
Now left to rot in nameless void
Consumed by endless will
