For What Its Worth

My heart is yours For what its worth It beautiful and cruel and it misleads many with lovers eyes to follow what they believe are stars in the night Like fairys dancing in the dark It will lure you in with shining lights And goad you into a taste Of wine posined with a bit of lust Fully believing that you are in love It will take you by the hand And drag you to the rocky cliffs Convince you you'll want to take a swim Breathing in the salty taste You wont realize that as time passes Your only wasting away It will tell you sweet lies They mean nothing of the truth Though it may perhaps care Its only infatuated with you It will tell you that you have wings And push you to fly to the heavens But when you spread your arms to soar You'll realize that is was just a fake image It will hold you gently Like an andaconda in a dream Feasting like a carnivor Silencing your scream You'll find that you are trapped With no way to be released Until it wakes from its dream - Until it wakes from its dream If you want it you can have it Though it will only be on lend My heart is yours For whats its worth Remember I warned you my friend

WOW Jay!!! - I feel as though I just awoke from a heavenly & haunting dream where I could taste the romantic & dangerous opium on my Oracles breath - such a primordial voice you have - a danger that cannot be denied - exquisite language, serious poetry - without dispute, a Masterpiece - J.A.B. %
