Within the Caverns of My Mind
Deep within the caverns of my mind
where few imploring souls have ever wandered,
there residing secrets you will find,
and all the deepest thoughts I’ve ever pondered.
Thoughts of happiness and love and life
that wrap around my dreams within my musing;
darker visions fill my thoughts with strife,
the jealousies and greed my life abusing.
Reveries adrift along the wind,
and echoing the thoughts of lust and passion;
feelings that my pride will not rescind;
emotions that my soul will never ration.
I am but a knave of foolish dreams,
these fantasies that ever leave me hoping;
plotting evermore misguided schemes
that leave my hapless spirit merely coping.
Knowing life is built on shifting sand,
I’m keen that some are wanting to undrape me;
therefore these deep secrets I remand,
and never will these deepest thoughts escape me.
