Corridors dark as slime
Encrusted with nameless fears
Musty rooms
With ancient sweat clogging every pore,

Intrusive fingers
Grasping hands,
Creating gleeful shadows-
An age-old performance
On uneven lime-washed walls,

Hushed tones,
A push, a pull, a drag
Memories of a void
A black hole
Of everything and nothing,

The minute
That ignorance broke its mould-

Eyes shut tight,
Never knowing…
Never wanting to know,
Of ravaged faces
Behind colorful masks
Dancing an unending dance.

Scorpio eyes shut,

I like your uneven lime washed walls. That is very descriptives, and sets a mood that I can even smell, as well as see.

You paint a very vivid picture here, Scorpio.
Sends a chill down my spine.
