Exquisite and beautiful
A hypnotic trance
That adds to the beauty
Of the forbidden dance
Your edgy new movements
Perfected; enhanced
Like the meeting of lovers
In an encounter of chance
That soothes the spirit
And lessens the grind
Then aged to perfection
Like expensive wine

I gander into the existential void
I flow along the waves
Hanging on your every word
Enlightened by a phrase
Your double entendres
Your Freudian slips
Sounds can be heard
Or read from your lips
All of it poignant
All of it clear
Aggressively waiting
For your thoughts to appear

It was probably a zombie
When push came to shove
They were always such a nuisance
From me, they get no love
I had one as a neighbor
He never paid his bills
But he lived there without cable
Which still gives me the chills

The pages come alive
With knowledge to share
Mixtures and potions
Magic and flare
Recipes used
Elixirs and brews
Porridge and stews
Never refused
Not even by the gentleman
With fine leather shoes 👞
But as the legend grew
You already knew
Don’t be confused
It’s just what I do

Desperately grasping
Into thin air
Stumbling backwards
Now under repair
But pieces are missing
Broken or lost
Yet the goal is still completion
No matter the cost
It’s something attainable
Rediscovering life
Conquering obstacles
The troubles, the strife

Opened windows
Opened doors
What is mine
Is also yours
Come and go
As you please
Birds fly south
So they don’t freeze
The fires burning
The dwelling’s still
Not exciting
No big thrill
Just a room
Inside a house
Or is the room
Turned inside out?

Just like an inferno
He raged out of control
A hundred miles an hour
Burning down the road
He took a left at Hell
He’d been there, you could tell
As he continued on down the empty highway
Heading towards the setting sun
Chased and on the run
But always staying one more step ahead
