Ian Petch Poet Lyric

Illusions and Wings

I craved denial to inspire illusion
To tell you what to see
And all my words built the grand delusion
To feed the chaos that’s in me

I craved the fear that mistakes my wisdom
To balance out my guilt
I wanted so much to be without decision
But then my love began to wilt

I fell down in search of rapture
Then my loneliness grew eyes
And in search of loss I found the answer
It’s all so simple without the lies

I left the spells on a spiral stairwell
And watched them wind away
As I took flight and circled up out of my hell
I finally found the day

Fervent wings hidden under their eyelids
The ones that still survive
One act of faith can cleanse the dark things that I did
As long as I remember what’s inside
