The Labyrinth
Archaic arches lead you to formulaic doctrines Runes line the walls as fumes malign alignment Mosaics' sagas foretell basic options Tombs shine as torches light up rooms' climate
Sciatic charges shoot down your spine as your greed is gauged by ethereal apostles Tunes chime as you hear malign melodies come from strongrooms Algebraic marvels are found in a tome filled with quadratic fossils Moons climb as you struggle to align clues
Arcane riddles involving mundane crystals Cryptic glyphs describe specific scripts Plain descriptions help to explain symbols Horrific nymphs affirm these simplistic myths
Pain limits your brain's coherence Apocalyptic conflicts in cataclysmic glimpses Profane apparitions threaten insane afflictions, mythic shifts and substantial militaristic twists
Chaotic cases of homoerotic matrons Enveloping darkness falls upon meddling prophets Hypnotic gazes infect the logic of all races Menacing markets cause unsettling sparseness Geologic phases annihilate tropical basins Deluging convents with menacing harlots Erotic maidens disguised as gothic angels Heralding harshness and ruthlessly deadening targets

format confused me a little, but despite it this is awesome. I love the way you place your words and give them motion-- a flow, and when I read it I can almost hear music.
lovely ink. thank you.
Kudos and greetings,
Elle.

Glad you enjoyed it, there was basically a beat playing in my head while I wrote this. As far as the format, it's kind of like a Ballad, with ABAB rhyming form, but also wanted to make each line rhyme in ABAB format, spent about an hour on this one.
