Bogleech.com's 2016 Horror Write-off:
Thalarion
Submitted by
Joseph Bashaw
Before men climbed mountains in search of Shambhala
Before there stood cities in Atlantis and Mu
Before prophets dreamed of dear lost Carcosa
There shone in the mist-shrouded realm of imagination
The city of a thousand wonders, Unknown Thalarion
Shadowy towers rise beyond the moon
Spiraling into voids unseen
Shimmering walls keep human beings out
And hold elder secrets within
Mad daemons laugh at those outside
Who can never come in to see
Just what goes on in the walls of Thalarion
Which lesser beings come to envy
Although it is forgotten in the shadow of modernity
It is not dead nor will it ever die
For finite and destined to fall is humanity
While the unknown is forever
And forever will it endeavor
