....The Beguiling....

Looking upon the purities of pureness

Playing within the playgrounds of innocence

Amid the undefiled lives from long ago

As I venture across these regions of space and time

The spheres of which I confront and question now

In regards to the truths of this place and life....

Traveling these ever apparent corridores of the sublime

This rouse, of the often slumbered beliefs

Subsisting themsevles, within the minds of infinite mankind

Solicitors of solies not so warming sun....

Flowers, shriveled within the shrewdness of simpies twisting smiles

As some say within their beliefs, their utterings and their philosophies

That they see they know, and that they behold

Spitting out of their mouths, these secularly devised ramblings

That they themselves do not even truly know?

This turning of the currents waters, turning all of the time....

But one thing has always stood constant

These desires for the macabres shedding of blood

And the tearing apart, of countless souls and lives

Lying unto themsevles all of the time,and to all of the others....

As they bury these poisoned and subconcious minds

These roots and these vines, that have intwined

The webs of unseen persuasion, that has caught and encased as within tombs

The purities and the innocence, that once stood free from these cacoons....

Eyes dripping with crimson, that time, has spilled upon their lives

Trapped in these chains, of unknowings choices?

Following the ways of their blinded and poisoned flesh

These once long ago, pure and innocent ones....

Playing amid the playgrounds, of the what, once was?

Dreaming but never holding, these things that they've lost

"Unwilling," to search for the the light, nor the door....

These, the daughters and the sons, of, the perdicious one!
