Quicksand
"Quicksand"
In the dark shadows of my mind ...
memories ache from love's heartbreak
lost in sweet surrender
fell into the "venus fly trap" of a pretender
swallowed by emotions lake
a volatile earthquake
In the dark shadows of my mind ...
In the misty corridors of my soul ...
scars exist wounded by love's kiss
as passions overflowed
deceived by lying seeds sowed
magnetic charms drawn to false abyss
a fantasy of illusions bliss
In the misty corridors of my soul ...
In the blackened hole of my heart ...
lies destructive band of love's quicksand
a pedestal crumbles; broken
a veil of pain; unspoken
flaming embers slowly fanned
tears cascading in cupped hand
In the blackened hole of my heart ...
