A Lone Lurking Figure
Embarking this journey through the night
I stand here, a shadow to hide in
The want to watch, unveiling yourself to no one
Imagination swirling, unraveling desires turning
There's no stop to this spreading attraction
Now cornered but once insurmountable,
I face consequence and am held accountable
Widespread fear beyond comprehension
Everlasting shadow dwelling demons chanting in tongue
speaking as if they were one
I hold my own as I take a breath
Spiraling into this deep dark depth
Outside forces with celestial courses
Awaiting further orders from false prophets
Unknown to us war will continue to cast shadows
The slipping sands with their empty hands continue there path with the wind
For that morning calming mist hovers round
Prevailing to set the ground
Stand still, I awake unconsciously
Grains of stardust in my hand
Stretching far beyond man
And remembering a mere broken verse
Envy, vain, lust, a must
Words of ruthless rulers that have come before us
