A friend.

He sees the world with eyes unscathed

of empty flesh and soulless gaze

and to emerge hes braved the depths 

of wading through a pitless grave

Cut beyond a tainted web

entombed hang the blinded mass 

No pity as they writhe and wail

for all must breach the underpass

left to his course, a flame ablaze

Light scouring this barren land

reach out for the dying earth

while ancient planets gather round

Womb of existence

Icy air hails crimson drops

and straying from the common vision

He is possessed to reach the top
