Olympus Opium

tears fall from the eyes of a broken soul lost without her mate of choice the shrunken soul ask for the truth of the lie to be revealed. From beyond, the Sufi whispers to the forsaken soul frantic like a child without bottle she to the machine has become the token soul. Asked if her pride could bear the truth behind lies she questioned the worth of pride to a stricken soul and prepared to swallow the pill of truth. summoning the mauve star of the Aladdin soul truth blinded her eye and buckled her knee causing her tongue to cleanse her awaken soul. All has become enlighten to this new humble spirit while I, Taylor, splinter an impious dormant African soul !
