Lost in a labyrinth of polished mirrors,
In a kingdom ruled by shame and fear,
I laid imprisoned by doubt and hate.
Like a rare bird with clipped wigs,
I quietly guarded my very own prison,
Holding the key while longing for a freedom.

While wallowing beneath my shinny masks,
I lost sense of my true reflection,
The very essence of my shattered soul.
Drowning in an insatiable thirst that never ceased,
I begged to be seen, heard and felt,
But choosing the sweet refuge of self-annihilation.

But when you can no longer thrive in oblivion,
All the mirrors finally begin to illuminate,
Revealing the very truth of my eternal sorrow.
Only when scars can bleed without bandages,
The soul can free itself from all invisible chains.
Blazing hot sweats rolled down my back,
A cloudless sky was at reach from my palm’s view.
My eyes centered on the sun as it stood above my head,
Summer’s end sneaked around the corner,
But its endless heat
Fooled me to think it would never cease.

Milky sand grains covered my toes,
Beach ***** rolled back and forth.
Children’s castle were made and later destroyed,
Clear waters waved in my thoughts.
It was suppose to be a beautiful day,
And until that moment, indeed it was.

The moment the earth shook,
Loud voices suddenly began to rise,
And Footsteps tumbled the ground.
I looked around,
Right, left, up, down.

The sun blinded me from the truth.
When the photons in my eyes reassembled the image,
A shock traveled to my heart
Making it pump furiously in my chest.

A desert ahead of me laid,
And content faces had ran from my presence.
The air dragged my body forward,
The ocean rapidly seemed to disappear.
I looked upon the never ending horizon,
And its line had ascended greatly.

At that moment,
I refused to run like all the others,
I refused to avoid its magnificent moves.
The winds pushed me backwards with a tremendous force.
Sprinkles of icy water splashed against my skin,
A great calamity I was bound to face.

Shadows covered the surface of my dread,
An enormous wall of wetness surrounded me.
In a blink, I was no longer visible to the eyes of men,
Even God could not spot me from the heavens above.

I gasped for air in the salty waters of the ocean,
But there was none to be found.
With that last thought in mind,
I drowned myself in its eternal beauty.
The deadly air of autumn’s blow,
Empowered winter’s cold to flow,
But spring’s warmness began to grow,
Releasing summer’s smoothing glow.


It started out as a mer gaze,
Bringing my lonely heart ablaze,
We were lost in a lovely maze,
Surviving the long autumn days.

Can we handle the freezing cold?
The one that wraps us close and hold
Unto each other like glimmering gold.
As time stops, turning us into winter’s mold.

We slit in half, when spring arrived,
As I believed love was thrived.
I felt you had my heart revived,
But it was clear you were contrived.

Now summer begins to boil down,
I can see all your endless frown.
You indeed fooled me like a clown,
So I watch our affair slip, drown.


Summer was to bring us together,
But spring showed we are light as feather.
In winter we were twined with tether,
Did you enjoyed autumn’s weather?
When my eyes embraced yours,
My knees felt weak as my heart drove fast.
Your scent rushed against my pores,
“May I steal a kiss?” I asked.

The aroma that was your breath,
The sweetness of your luscious lip,
Uplifting me from the grasps of death,
I draw you closer, won’t let you slip.

The rush I feel when you’re near,
I can no longer hear the screams,
Pure ecstasy masking my fears,
You are that bundle of dreams.

From the towering abyss,
You reached down to me.
I’m in such a state of bliss,
Please don’t ever flee.
I have waited centuries for your touch,
And even now I can barely get enough.
I cry to you baby don’t ever leave,
For you are all I need to believe.
Believe in this journey they call life,
I can no longer feel the tip of the knife.
When with you my wounds heel fast,
I am finally ready to forget the past.
Never have I felt this rush before,
A true sensation I can’t ignore.
I feel younger, stronger, hotter, prouder,
I won’t hold it in,I shout it louder.
Skin tight, our temperatures fuse,
A race for you is one I will never lose.
Forbidden, but so luscious,
Its home, sinless and heavenly,
Its mother, prohibited, yet tempting,
Its blood-red venomous skin so crisp,
Its body perfectly rounded and smooth,
Its polished shine blinding our faith,
Its warm, juicy core ever so gushing,
Its earthly aroma sensational,
Its nucleus fully fertilized.

Seduced by its mysteries,
Our poisoned young minds,
Could not hold its hunger
For wisdom and knowledge.
Marching over its sacred grounds,
Snapping them from their nurturer,
Crushing mankind’s first promise.
What are we left with when all our masks shatter?
What does the mirror echo when our reflection seizes to exist?
What does the soul hunger in the depths of an endless void?
What does our root seek amidst the face of uncertainty?
What does our sacral desire when meaning evaporates?
What does our solar plexus requires in the loss of self?
What does our heart longs for when it loses its rhythm?
What does our throat scream when it is voiceless?
What does our third eye still sees when we stitch it shut?
What does our crown hold when we finally surrender?
