Amorphous Miasma



Corruption spreads, black stars seethe,
Harvest withers, sickened oak beneath.
Maddening vapors choke and bind,
Devouring life, formless and unkind.

Corruption's grip, a spreading blight,
Black stars writhe, casting a blinding light.
Harvest fades, wasted and gray,
Unhallowed radiance, an eerie display.

In underground chambers, vapors breed,
Gestating horrors, a foul misdeed.
Monstrous constellation, shape untold,
Engulfing all, in its maw so cold.

Amorphous miasma, ghoulish and vile,
Consuming life, with a wicked smile.
Vaporous jaws, devouring with glee,
No escape from its relentless spree.

From heavens fell blight, soil tainted, with decay,
Feeding on all creatures, in its toxic way.
A harbinger it was, a glowing, cursed stone,
Birthing chaos, a curse with seeds sown.

Withering, decaying, the vine's sad display,
Nature's beauty fades, in shades of gray.
Life's vibrance lost, as darkness holds sway.
Amorphous miasma, drained light of day.
