Like the sun lit moon
Your eyes light my smile

We live in a paradise of lies
That sets our hearts on fire
It sets us to reach for the skies.

I sit upon my perch
Watching others rub
Their noses in dirt

Life has twisted so much
That all is seen is makeup
Just a powdered finishing touch

In a paradise of lies
That sets our hearts on fire
It's what sets us to reach for the skies

If one was to speak the truth
You'd be cast aside
Might even lose a tooth

So be careful where you tread
For the blooming rose has its thorns
For you never know what's truly been said

Sitting in a paradise of lies
Is what sets our hearts on fire
The day has come where truth dies

As I march through the gates of hell
Into the fields of harvested evil
The scents of an impure presence
Envelops the nostrils with vile essence

I stride up to the devil himself
"Lucifer.. your reign.. is filth!"
He glares at me with an evil grin
"So you're the one.. giving a new name to sin"

Face to face, eye to eye
This is where our destinies lie
"Your time is up, your rule is done.
I shall not rest until the throne is won"


"You impudent fool, a stained halfbreed.
You're not worthy to lead"

*"HA...Stained? No, you Satan
Are stained by your love for a human.
Come on father, don't you see
This is inevitable, our destiny"

The road to wisdom
Travels mountains of pain
And valleys of sorrow
A journey through torrential rain

Waltzing fields of joy
Gracious gardens of love
Floating through clouded skies
Getting lost in the stars above

Fighting demons from east to west
Meeting angels north to south
Experiencing more than the best
Flavours of life resting in mouth

Will you lay and wait
In a shackled prison
Or will you  make it count
And take your journey to wisdom
Just my take on the road to wisdom, you need to experience to learn and gain no matter how bad or good the situation is. You will always gain new knowledge from every moment

Today's another day
Just like the rest
I sit here pondering
With my thoughts all a mess

Imagination whirling
On turntables inside
And all I can come up with
Is this repeated style of write
