The Trap Poem by Radley So.

The Trap



Traps are set so that it meets the eye of the lonely passerby.
Cunning, conniving, readily stalking, like no other exists or matter,
Conceive a tale spun with golden threads like that snake slithering on by
Confused you might, believe its right but don't forget about the latter,
Cause your half-awake in a world with no sight
and the loneliest moment of night can't break the light;

Traps are truly dangerous, they carry a cloak that transforms; shape and size,
Twisting, warping, deceiving with an irresistible sweet honey lure.
A clone of many people yet, a vengeful foe you've never met, patiently in disguise.
Things are clear, there's no need to fear, 'lest you miss the latter,
Cause if your half-awake in a lullaby world your already deep asleep,
Enter a dream (or is it a dream?) and begin counting the droves of black sheep.

Wide awake the trap will be, spinning his web of lies; (secretly above the rise) ,
This time you will have to learn, this will be the last fantasy you will yearn.
Smoking a path of velvet flame, say bye to the disguise,
Trapped in a pitch-black tunnel, its the point of no return;
(and now) Half awake your emotions he pries, a cocoon weaved from cloudy lies;
Till there's nothing left but a bittersweet taste, counting the dots 'neath your eyes.

Remember if your half-awake and its already tomorrow be prepared to face the endless sorrow,
Of endless hunters, lying in wait, skillfully perfecting their nobled art of creating the trap.
Half-awake you'll fall inside and where your going, there is no map;
Not even a tomorrow.
