Netherworld
Drink in the sea of the Serengeti and savor its lasting breath, asphyxiated and strangulation: crystal and fantasy caves; scuba, snorkels, accessories,
gagging out gray oasis, this tasteless favor flows with shallow clear liquid, of boredom.
Gasping at a circle around pale oxygen 20,000 feet beneath the underworld.
Stranded between hypersomnia trail with insomnia, where an underwater diving
game of pressure: deep darkness, caves lasting forever.
The reflection of crystal ceramic permits guidance through blackness.

inscribe nexus, and seal oracles, to rekindle immortal memory, nectar.
Sit in the kindness of a stranger, whose full cup of liquid flows freely.
Dreams from grandfather's liquid silk this endless flowing fountain under-
Water, drank life-giving, gone forever gone. Once this unquenchable thirst.

Leaving hair-raising monkey skid marks; to summon water gods from the
other side, where souls roam through a deluge unknown among mystical
Creatures seeking a dark star. They heard of a place where light never shines.
This nameless dark star resides; so, they decided to seek out this nameless dark
Star joining out into the unknown in the light of day. Where mysteries slept upon.
Arriving at this obscure ocean floor. That overshadowed a dark star.

This poem gave me the feeling
This poem gave me the feeling of travelling through a portal to another dimension, to maybe a star that's filled with darkness and mystery.
fascinating read that captivated my imagination.
Although I do realize it's about diving deep in to the darkness of caves.
