A Gilded Cage

Am I so naïve that I will not know when

 Glow worms beckoned me to a velvet trough?
 Incantations this pink, yellow and green combo
 Lingered on; turned into whispers of restless shadows,
 Deluded my senses like a yo-yo as
 Euphoria coursed through my vein in a
 Distended logic of the flesh. Yet as my
 
 Cosmic dust navigate mercilessly into this chasm,
 A disturbed soul, unfettered no face no essence,
 Guileless, gibberish looked back with
 Eyes devoid of emotions dulled into a welcome stupor.
