Allure of Temptation
Captured by the craze
The shock of the rebounding wave
the body is taken to the grave
ding dong ding dong
what am I doing here?
The convoluted state of where I am
the howling of
the insane
I wrap my scant shawl
around my shoulders
shiver
and remember my wrongdoings
has it lead to this?
have I done something wrong?
I hate this hell
an apparent way in
with no way out
my hands are on the perspiring window
It shatters in my hands
the multitude of shards
embedded in my hands
Despite the pain I smile
Through my bewilderment
I clutch the shards,
proof of my pain,
proof of my existence
proof of my offering
I see
a silhouette
outside my broken window
I reach out and try to grab
that cloth in reach
Dissolves into dust
and slips
through my fingers
I dispose my sorrows
and trudge on
Throughout the sorrows
the pain
the abashing, abashment, addling, agitation, befuddlement of a maze
I'm shrouded and I'm closed.
The brilliance there I can't see
the misery that I should face
Anger
Confusion
Hatred
Despair
poverty
chaos
aren't they the same?
Condemnation
revenge
enraged
anxiety
is this another labyrinth of bewilderment?
Lonely
heartless
alone
forsaken
spurn
shun
will I always be alone?
This livid maze that never seems to have a limitation
but I
feel a passion
I behold the coruscation of the stars
and the moon and sun caress
the flowers bloom with an allure
yet I die
it is
Heaven within hell.
