⬠āCarrying out oneās words.ā
The water is still on summer's eve,
A fact, to some, is hard to conceiveā
No matter hard winds or pounding rain,
The water remains a shiftless plane.
A mystery to most but a burden to some,
Read from holy books and beat the drum,
To some, science the only plausible reason,
But to others, systematic knowledge is treason.
The fact stands that this body of water is peculiar,
Pushing the boundaries of what is familiarā
It glistens in the sunlight and under the moon,
Glowing bioluminescence in the heart of a lagoon.
The rumor mill churns out a watery grave,
That some who visited couldn't be saved,
Those who have found their ways back,
Seem to be riddled with too much to unpack.
The hollows are wooded and very steep,
Amid stretches of slack water running deepā
The sounds that play out echo inside your head,
Whispered thoughts from what could be the dead.
This place seems haunted and gets under your skin,
Carves into your soul and works out from within,
It will eat you alive and then spit you out,
Into the nebulous void of perpetual doubt.
If you manage to somehow work your way in,
You will reach an end before you beginā
You will find creatures wearing your flesh,
And demons will deem you prey to enmesh.
If you make it over a bridge and down a long path,
You will see the sun go down on the king's wrath,
A crooning melody can be heard across the way,
You might want to leave but you'll be urged to stay.
By the water's edge, you will meet a girl,
With gleaming skin in the color of pearlā
Her voice is sweet and will draw you near,
But she is nothing like how she appears.
She has razor-sharp teeth and pointed nails,
Coal-black eyes and iridescent scales,
Her voice is hoarse and drags like salt,
When she informs you that this is your fault.
She reaches out and firmly grabs your wrist,
Her slimy fingers are cold and begin to twistā
She pulls you forward into the glass-like pond,
And as your lungs fill with water she grows fond.
