....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!
