X Stuck Inside These Four Walls

Slipping away in time and space 


Stuck inside these four walls, lonely souls tangled and lost, they dance to

and swirl inside of innuendos. They claim desires, the desire of  longing


The desires of love, they demand yet make no claims
        Opening hearts leads to bloodshed, despair, agony
                       The dance of desire leads only to emptiness
                                  So on misty clouds, the dancer dance
                                              Entwined in thought, yet never that first kiss

Sadly the love fades into the night

You have always been pretty; peoples stupidity is what does the damage, Arthur... Human nature is to judge, but they have not been in your shoes to understand what you've gone through. Blessings and Merry Christmas angel of God 7

One could read a lot of things into this poem! Reincarnation is one of them I...guess! Deep and dark poem into which one could be lost and could be found many a time. Oh, yes, you have outdone Edgar Allen, our friend! Mysterious and enlightening my friend Arthur!
