Dark Heart

A Chapter by Abdul Batin Osman Bey

a poem inspired by H.P. Lovecraft

Ancient rituals rural Vermont

A performance seldom seen by natural eyes

Mysterious flames of ever changing color

Kept the naked images blurry

Celtic rhythms kept knotting time

While they yelled out honorary titles to a pre-human god

Vortexes of Chaos appeared in every direction

Shifting spiritual waltzes among the bare

Spreading the heart of Darkness
