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.
