This cliff you are walking
with that obsessive longing
That edge is too near
Approach it with fear.

You are wandering on a tightrope,
swaying this way and that in a dangerous lope
A meeting with disaster you are sure to provoke

The gorge below you is filled with black fire,
A searing nothingness awaiting your desire.

Don't lose your footing,
Ignore the pull!
Don't fall, keep holding on,
Don't be a fool!

Seem unaffected, stay undetected.
For you can solely find restraint in the knowing,
That if you are showing,
what your head and heart feel,
Swirling sensations which seem so real,
So palpable, they almost take shape
A beautiful vapour leaving burns in its wake

A beautiful fantasy carrying you right to that edge,
A breathtaking Chimera
and the hummingbird, an easy catch.

So beware of an event so unlikely, a fantastical affair,
For this is a castle floating in the air.
