People seek enlightenment
Yet stay stuck in the dark
Held back by entitlement
Seeking an elusive spark
No matter the realization
It’s inconsequential
If nobody takes action
So much wasted potential
How they’re self aggrandizing
While serving their overlords
Spineless sheep in wolf’s clothing
Always hungering for war
What lurks beyond
The door ajar
Will it be fond
Will it be marred
Weathered wood squeaks
On rusty hinges,
Or monsters squeal
Nails like syringes
What waits behind
What the eye can see
What will I find
What lurks unseen
What waits for me
To cross the veil
What creatures creep
Beyond this realm
Shadows dance
Figures prance

Tired eyes’ sight
Push it harder

Behind golden heavenly gates
But how I feel it’s a golden cage
Locked in tight, I’ll never escape
These voices screaming in my brain
Their laughter driving me insane
Maybe someone can, please, explain
Peirce my kingdom with your ways
Purify my thoughts,my heart,my veins
Sway me to change for better
So I might be with you
~
Hang a diamond in the sky
So I might always have a guide
Promise me you'll let me go
If I loose my light & let darkness corrupt my soul
Stay away from me that day
I don't want to hurt you
~
Let me linger by your light
Where my shadows dance out of sight
When you kiss my eyes to sleep
Swear you'll meet me in my dreams
~
Lay down beside me
Let us act on our fancies
Moan out old ghost
Fulfill our fantasies
Scream new life into existence
~
Promise you'll always remember me
Never let time fade my memory
Swear to me you'll ne
