=======================
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
In youth the Eden where I played
was left bereft, destroyed, decayed,
by trusts malignant masquerade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
Sweet grass dies in my fallow glade
as opportunist needs invade
and bleed the life from every blade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
First, victims surging song is brayed,
then dirges of the helpless fade
and urges pant their serenade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
Agendas I've arranged cascade
to keep my motives undisplayed
and cover cracks in my charade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
I've planted with my soiled spade
slick seeds of doubt in hopes that they'd
conceal the putrid plots I've laid
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
My blighted past will be replayed
and every bloom on whom I've preyed
must lie now in the beds I've made

Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
In youth the Eden where you played
was left bereft, destroyed, decayed,
by trusts malignant masquerade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
No grass survives your fallow glade,
when opportunist needs invade
and bleed the lives from every blade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
First, victims surging song is brayed
but dirges of the wronged soon fade
and urges pant their serenade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
Agendas you arrange cascade
to keep your motives undisplayed
and cover cracks in your charade
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
You planted with your soiled spade
these spoiled seeds in hopes that they'd
advance the rancid plots you'd laid
Shadow to shadow, shade to shade
In kind, your ruined past replayed
will find each bloom on whom you've preyed
entombed in blighted beds you've made

I'm not sure what to do with myself.
Feeling oblivious and insecure, I wander with my eyes every corner of the room.
The walls are covered with unknown idols;
Men that use to sing song of hope, but now have been abused to sing for money.
Women that are beautiful in showing of their bodies,
but have yet to learn how to showcase their soul.
The lamp is out of place for this hole is modern;
each piece of glass has it's own color,
making up a design of a hidden fragment of flowers.
I wait covered in undisplayed courage;
sheets have been silent for they know of their use,
they accept their obligation to be part of everyday continuity.
He enters...
My body seems to be melting but my heart is ecstatic;
not scared but confused and happy of it's up coming events.
Our gazes seem to get closer without movement,
he reaches without touching and I stare without looking.
we let ourselves slide into one another and enjoy ourselves together.
