I sit here
In this desolate wasteland
Called my room
Counting
Seconds, minutes, hours
Only to notice
That time for me
Is standing still
Lovecraftian horrors
Appear like shadows on the wall
As I stare into the distance
Watching, waiting
Unaware
Of the world's affairs
Only to be disturbed
By eldritch tongues
Spoken
From the shades of blue
That with midnight
Softly appear...

Like Night needs Day
Good needs Evil
I need you to be complete...

Desperation of horrors in the mind of H.P. Lovecraft.
I think he was a little too consumed with weirdness.  
Things we needn’t fear at all, especially eldritch tongues.
But your title makes the murky clear “Mind's Poison”
I agree.

Very interesting read.
Enjoyed.

I like the uncommon words you choose to use, plus the fact that you write my kind of poetry. ark. Although these days I am writing more on the subject of love, or rather a particular woman who has beguiled me. Nice writing.
