Ægri Somnia

He did not move.

 His face transfigured.

 Hateful mask.

 

 Fathomless soul,

 Would you allow a question

 To be asked? None, sir!

 

 Eyes steadily fixed

 On the horizon.

 What fierce abhorrence

 Did this man await?

 

 Fordidden secrets,

 Kept it hidden well.

 Future holds nothing

 For them but cruel fate!

 

 Luminous globe

 Died.

 Left us

 In darkness

 

 Nemo's morbid slumber

 Bereft me of my mind.

 I felt my brain stupefied,

 Entangled and entwined.

 

 Suspicion seized me.

 Undulations of the sea.

 As I tried to resist sleep

 My breathing grew weak.

 

 Nemo's morbid slumber

 Bereft me of my mind.

 I felt my brain stupefied,

 Entangled and entwined.
