All I Ever Wanted
All I Ever Wanted
Words like violence
Break through the silence
whips, chains & blood
What is truth ?
columns of cement alabaster vestibules
to run in the distance,
a path at the opening of a forest
to bask in the vast expanse of the day
chosen to bow the knee to pray
along the path a dark figure rises
eyes with spots having holes in the side of head
a shallow pool is inside the walkways abode
I pause my head to think
Can't even wink to dismiss this earthly bliss
with a time well spent in thought
a bridge elapsed through the mirage of the moment
dark creatures manifest their heightened madness
I moved away to see another face
that of a maiden in waiting for her lover which was me
yet all I ever wanted was the truth to behold
onto another moment or that of episode
