Mar 2017
Given a century
Just to die slowly
Withering daily
In those who don't know me

A ghost to the world
An anonymous letter
A ripple in time
In a river's forever

Ephemeral instants
Momentous occasions
Hourglass sands
Of existence abrasions

Weathering down
My infinity stones
With oblivious kingdoms
And Oedipus thrones

Of the edifice Rex
Of tyrannical things
Pulling marionettes
With Pinocchio strings

For reality's lie
Is a Captain Hook hand
To a boy who has flown  
To the Peter Pan land

Where losing yourself
Is to never grow old
When you're lions, and tigers
And bear stories told

A wizard of great
And powerful words
Foretelling the future
Of emerald absurds

Removing the curtains
From blinds of perception
Revealing the face
Of the master deception

Sharing the vision
Of peace I have seen
By awaking you all
To a lucid sky dream

Symphonic fantasia
Euphoric design
All figments of your own
Imagining mind

So before you put down
The brush and the pen
Come take a trip
Through these pages again
