Essence Esoteric

Shadows aren’t soft today and more restless than the prancing winds

There’s some strange aroma; some ancient magical spell could have escaped from the cracked phial

Walk carefully, the steps seem wobbly and strewn glass can inflict deep pain

Contradicting their nature, the voices sound heavier; some confusion and dizziness

The air feels stifling and penetrates the being with an unusual message 

Could it be the influence of Mephistopheles and his whisperings of esoteric messages?

Even the lights are dreary; away from the routine vibrant nature, it sings sorrowfully 

Whoever the curious being was, playing with the deeply buried phial is proving to be sinister

Now, any crack that appears will be filled with the poison disguised in aromatic immorality
