From contact, a poison
A venom in veins
Bound by these strains
Incubation insane
Strikes for notice
Pleads for no time
Sending you off with flowers and rhyme
Kisses and wine
Serpent's vine meets design
Oh but the shine
Not one silver outline
Was the guide for which we find fine
Thoughts of purity perceived by men in their prime
But who am I not to want to experience mine?
Who says what is all?
Who says what is null?
Who governs the ideas strung together by skull?
Experimentation
Knowledge of those
Some impede while others grow
Can't decide
Axis from allies
How is one foe to know?
------
Furthermore
What I adore
Has taken one quite a journey
Why we hurry to hurry?
Often I still worry.
Who are the elected who elected the jury?
I can't wage the battle
From both sides
Why should one have to choose
When the two can unite?
Morals, Values, Ideals, Games
Hand in hand they control
Yet they contain
Potential to change
But what if it is opposite of what's taught?
The learning to accept
That things can get wrought
Twisted and mopped
Has lead me nowhere but to go and to stop?
So the question is this
For my wish list
When is the right time
When is the mask too tight
when is it not alright?
