Never existed 
Just an illusion 
You created.

Hidden behind masks
Or wearing tinted glasses.

Spells  to entice 
Cards played right
A hidden fire ignites....

end up finding it's

to try and 
improve upon
the past and fail
each and every time
in the end...

Letters are skinned
in the memory
by whose hands
they work with them...
even versions
from the folds of the soul....

housed in the recondite...
So they practice all the time
to give birth to life poem... !...

I slept in vision,
Wake up with a mission,
Of different versions,
The version to fulfill my vision,
he mission to uphold my vision,
The mission to make it in life,
The vision of excellence,
The versions of success,
…Integrity and landmark,
A footprint in a globe....

of the cycle trying to
keep emotional attachments 
away from the old versions 
of the self which are standing 
trapped within the cycle of time 
gone by...

Bravery and fear
  not either or

But versions of…

Valor and shame

Mixed pieces of…

A riddle to confound

As glory weds disdain…

Courage and fear
  not zero-sum

But oft times look the same

When they surround her stronghold,
Swiped silver bells, hid pearly shells, 
And pretties weigh all in gold....
