Illusion casts a gentle balm
medicine for the questing soul
describing life with due resolve
garments worn outside of norms
...
Joy derived from money's bloom
is sad offset to the coming doom
ask the barons for their crumbs
cold medallions are the surplus
...
Stairs evoked are the norm
anticipated when souls explore
a common sight that deceives
when the veil is not perceived
...
The wanting lingered without respite
an intruder that cared not
for the mercies of a staid life
away from the passions on my mind
...
Excuse me please while I indulge
naughtiness born of lust
a restlessness I'll cater to
revel in full latitude
...
Art emerges as the grace
separating each in a race
towards gulfs far beyond
reach of actions feeding fame
...
The signs exist to be seen
no longer hidden if observed
by the travelers who pursue
adventures found beyond the fade
...
Free to fly for a short time
beyond the limits that life contrives
when both the body and the mind
elevate into the sky
...
The darkest days are the ones
that relegate my self-worth
to the end of the line
behind the wants of other ones
...
Ask the wind why men condemn
others for the choices made
the response would damn the rest
casting salt upon the earth
...
