Forbidden Cavern

Gaze inside this darkened cavern Random thoughts dripping aimlessly Slithering down its dank walls Searching for acceptance yet finding none Hidden now within this facade Images dressed for the world to see The real me bound and shackled Thrown naked and yearning Upon a satiny bed of unfulfilled desires Tightly held by heavy chains Binding my deepest thoughts Longing to breathe, taste and be set free But all I am is forbidden Within this oh so very polite society My yearnings vile or unspeakable Forbidden in this hall of mirrors Where masks are acceptable And the truth is denied Welcome to the cavern of my mind
