Medusa

Medusa

she open her heart wide to the vast illusion called life
 in a variation of a dream she will scream
 the twilight sun has tainted her inner vision,
 hands, face & lips...

 A sought after excursion of her heartfelt memory of her past,
 Alone she thinks of the quaint memories to long ago,
 shelter lies dormant amidst its beckoning plow;
 She dances in a ring of fire yet

 throws off its challenge with a shrug
 her powers are from Zues of long ago,
 making a premonition of fortune telling...
 She comes from a kingdom near the sea

 A glance of kings & queens and trolls in the meager existence
 Empties her ideals in a shard of glass,
 Dragons lurks around her heavenly abode
 a flame of passion in a sincere covet

 eyes, lips & hands,
 She looks at life through the lens of death
 her salvation is a longing quest of self discovery
 as she approaches her own heaven's door
