Deeper

On request of Randomness from Boredom, I did another poem for MapleStory. It was terribly rushed, because I kept getting distracted, and probably took 20 minutes or so. Hope it's acceptable.

Deeper

Sunlight.

Sun, streaming powerfully

Through the leaves, touching the ground.

It's still bright up here.

-

Deeper down I go, towards my destination

And maybe towards the end

-

I know that I might die on this journey

But I am still going

Just once in my life, I want to see it

The fearsome one of legend

-

It's getting darker here.

The sounds aren't so lively anymore.

The chirping birds are gone

Now, there are only screeches and the sound of insects.

-

Deeper. Towards the centre.

-

No more light now. I am blind here.

I feel the way along the walls of this cave—

They are cold to my touch, and smooth

Showing me the way

Showing me the way to the heart.

-

-

At last, I am here.

It is in this cavern, this secret sanctuary

Hidden deep below the surface

Centuries old

The territory of the infamous legend.

-

There is light again.

Sunlight is filtering through the cracks in the ceiling

Trickling down in steady streams

Falling upon the old cracked stones

On the symbols inscribed in its great tomb.

-

The darkness pulses in its very walls

Powerful, like the beating of a heart

And I feel it.

This is my destination.

-

The heart of the Dungeon.
