So I read biblical scripture,...

the lizard should have waited with his message 
cursed...

becomes this dervish dancing to the maniacal symbol rash tune,
of inchoate monsoon grass beat timpani,

Whilst chanting their love one's name
Enticing as moths to a flame
Each to...

So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy

I am the innocent victim 
held on house arrest 
eating one meal a day

how can this be, as if I created the...

For a pie-in-the-sky, it is not.

For you are a different kind of man;
crimson dancing silhouettes caressing the night-
cerulean ecstasy with a medallion dandelion wish,
you sacrifice your light for me and now my wings
can soar in the sky.
