In the
Illusions
I tried to stay

For
In gilded
dreams
The torments
Slip away

When peace
Comes
The chains
Will sway  

Leaving
The soul
A million
Ways to
Masquerade

So I ask

Asleep
Do I
Remain?

I know
I’m not
Needed out
There
Anyway

If only
You knew
How brightly
You shined
Against this black and white
World
Through my eyes

Dark iris
veins tainted
and seaside dreams
guide me into
your nights

When my veil
is thin, and the truth
is floating in the
elusive wind

I follow the noise
and seek the storm
for my youth evades me
with each passing sigh

Dark iris
and burning pupils of desire,
I follow you to the unknown
place of worship

I pray to the dark moon
in awe of the sight
and dream of him
in black and white

A light meets
A darkness
Hideously
Tamed

A match
That knows
No balance
Only pain

He swoons
At her
Smile

She
Burns in
His flame

Everything
Freezes
To capture
This moment
In a timeless
Frame
