A world of illusion

by mier   Sep 5, 2007


The blatant sun shed it's hollow light,
igniting burnt stars and sleeping skies.
I watch the cold world in black and white,
with forgotten thoughts and awkward eyes.

My inane eyes trapped my mind,
tormented by static delirium.
The truth I will always cease to find,
tricking me into an asylum.

Awaken to the breath of midnight,
blind owls devoured the pale skies.
I blew out the final candlelight,
to hide my scars, my face and my lies.

Endless progeny of crippled souls,
linger in the wasted night of dreams.
While I descend in malefic nightmare,
the grotesque mask of false disguise screams.

I cower in feverish fright,
miming the morbid dance of the dead.
The deception from my tainted sight,
writhed and withered from inside my head.

Monolith of dented reality,
synchronizing my surreal delusion.
I dwell in the heart of elegy,
confined in a world of illusion.
