Theft of Empress and Her Bounty
I awoke to the world as it was-
Masquerade cascade
Hitting pavement to spread
Greasy wheels
or carnival games that churn with the EYE
Let me look closer,
I see a stolen portrait
and your fertile limbs unwinding
i pause-
Listening to what was not said
Before long, back on the grind
Sweating tickets and ribbons
As the quotas always climb
Soon I will see
The Record of Time
Now it is easier to drift
Your passion eclipsed
My mischief
I've searched for a girl like you
To close the tomb of time
Resurrecting the I of Atlantis
Take me to your dark room
I won't dodge the shattered glass
Love is whole
Wholesome and healthy
Strangers cast a furtive eye
They know what I did to you
Under October's crescent moon
