Reflection In Water


Thy embrace was like sleep,
I could easily fall in trust.

Materials displaced
The warmth of thy womb.

Miraging truth inside
The labyrinth of lies.

I'm troubled by the overlapping
Planes of right and wrongdoing.

Aroused is the numb mind
By the worldly possessions offered.
Had me ping-ponged until
My connection to faith broke.

Surreal dreams that exhibit
Potential of a blackhole horizon-make.

Arrested by mistrust and misshapen,
Euthymia brings me barred light.

I'm troubled by the overlapping
Planes of true and false.

Oh, I'm guilty of diving into blue.
My limbs, flailing in passion.

I'm guilty of stomping the walls red.
My vision clouded under the depth of ego.

I'm guilty of swerving in green.
My limp body, sinking into agony.

Thou gave me the sky and I chose Well.
