Devil lined abyss

Invest in bouts of nothing  
Ample obeisance to the void  
A stark and curious depth  
Where from the nether, I’m deployed  
 
A murky masters presence  
A rustlers catch, evading  
Who longs to line the hollow  
And from whom are they persuading?  
 
Devil’s eye a watchin’  
Notching pleasure on his belt  
Ramping up the smidgen  
Til the nothingness is felt  
 
Stale, unfettered paper  
Written words upon the shelf  
Illogical distemper  
found within the faded self  
 
Devoid of all that matters  
Dancing devil lined abyss  
So tarnished in perpetuity  
That my world is lain amiss  
 
Wherefore thine darkest wisdom  
Its pleasureless divine  
Melancholy turns to vapour  
And only fools will drink its wine  
 
Thrust into omnipresence  
I’m all corners of the grave  
I’m vast and effervescent  
I’m the soul you cannot save
