The jewel eyed, breathtaking beauty
Seemingly stolen from my dreams
Has entered upon my waking hour
Slipped through unconscious seams

Her captivating presence
Commanding the gaze of mine eye
Slips softly around my periphery
Silk wonderment in diamond sky

Her velvet, supple hand
Trickles softly down my face
She steals away my whispers
And leaves behind an aura of grace

Her satin lips confound me
Mystified by luminescent smile
Fingers dance along the edge of her being
Entrancing curves have me beguiled

She dances in a ring of fire
Rhythmic freedom
No need to guide her

As she dances
Ground begins to shake
As her mind slips away
Her soul is awake

Shes dances
And the serpents sway
Their eyes affixed on beauty
They dare not betray

She dances in a ring of fire
Her body moves dangerously
Contorting the curves
Of my desire

Rhythm inflames her passion
Crazed temperament
Envelopes her eyes

With silent screams
No water gleams
As blood drips from her eyes

She dances in a ring of fire
She calls out to me
Take place beside her

Conquering injurious visions
And seething, jealous dastards
"Will you live for me," she asked
A greater question than the latter

Hovering somewhere between
White light and darkness
Wakefulness and dream
Reality and surrealism
I exist everywhere in between
The subtle nuances of life.

Too many questions
Mindless suggestions
Unanswerable inquiries
No one to invent them
Chaos resides in
The hearts of many.
Madness subsides in the
Minds of the controlled.

Slaves to history
Repeating the past
Ignoring lessons foretold
Slaves to a new generation
Degrading too fast.

We outlive our sons
And plague our daughters
Attempting to safeguard her
From newer selves disorder.

Only to fail and be broken
When she hides secrets
In shelves.

Afraid to express emotion
To her book she will go
History repeats itself
Impending doom
We all know.

I've been waiting near the gates
All the while, searching for the key
To unlock the meaning of life.
Planting seeds, but getting
No fruit bearing tree.

Peering through the gates
Waiting for my chance
I've heard the feeling is blinding
Man becomes hypnotized
Stuck in a trance.

No sense of what has come and gone.
As you look into the future
Sitting on this arid ground.
As I discovered an exuberant creature
My heart began to pound.

Have you come to take me
Through the garden of
Unknown sensations
And unfamiliar relations?

She grasped my hand
And I tasted the flavor of life
Bittersweet the sensation
The exhilaration of tasting fear
For the very first time.

I sit, pondering
In the midst of society.
Finding comedy in what
People deem normal and reality

Driven by greed
And unnecessary vices
Forgotten this kingdom
Requires sacrifices

Gone are the morals
Insubstantial dreams
They take for granted
The simplicity life means

Watched humanities EVILution
I watch souls deteriorate
And feel saddened as they think
Money makes them great

No longer is man measured
By loyalty and true worth
No longer do we care
What happens upon exiting earth

A man's word means nothing
His promises, empty
Gone is the time
When lovers loved gently

A crime of passion
And the offspring shall suffer
Feasting on the failure's
Of another man's brother

Ordered by cardboard generals
Bombarded by corrupt media
Spoon fed lies and injustice
Choking on our own neurasthenia

Inhale the pain
Exhale the bliss
Inhale before
Your soft, luscious
Kiss

Nothing is real
Wandering blind
Eyes closed to the world
Left far
Behind

Images of war
Splashed across the silver screen
Images of lust
And everything
Obscene

Flowing hair
In a state of liquid suspension
Wading through the night
Attain the impossible and
Change your perception

Of endless nights
Leading into sleepless days
Rediscovering love
And it's passionate craze

Of self war and self sacrifice
At the hands of another
Ripping dignity apart
At the helm of our lover

To forget parts of our being
Left on lonesome, cold shelves
We all need to learn
To rediscover ourselves
