Soul steeped within the ground,

misfortunate trembles in rebounds;

Eyes tease absence,

half beaten heart serenades in fragments;

Lost in stretches of hypnosis,

reflecting white seas of Egyptian lotus,

gather mind of focus;

Slight movement through the halls,

shadows play up and down the walls,

chaotic as I watch.... terrible beings I wish I'd never saw;

Manic: they insist on calling you,

can never be proved;

Hard not to combust at the slightest bruise,

intricate turns to hold true,

my own branded issues;

That baffling feeling within you,

wraps around.... only has life to consume;

Refusal plays well with this trickery,

twisted talents in mystery;

Dolor has no balance in nature,

whatever direction you wager,

don't let in that familiar stranger.
