Gentle borne entity that suffers in silence

Whilst the tendering of motion leads her away

Closing the eyes in no longer wanting to see

Yet the visions continue in mayhem…

And she cries

Madness reigns in the pursuit of understanding

Only to go in circles and never break their sway

Arms reach out in their pleading in an attempt

For a freedom that continues to be so elusive…

And she cries

Liquid gold halo as the wings unfurl for flight

Wanting to escape the harsh reality that binds her

Molten tears gush forth, raining upon porcelain flesh

And deep within she trembles as the unknown reaches out…

And she cries

Tendrils of mist lick and play at the senses

As whispered words with no true meaning

Call out softly in sweet beckon to merely turn away

Ignorance of bliss in not knowing tranquility in peace…

And she cries

Perilous dreams that are wrought with no facades

Become clear in a mind that’s clouded with judgment

And the wings unfurl more as the head tilts back to see

Shadows take form only to shift and become shapeless…

And she cries

Seething with a fury that has yet to be released

Relentless of perusal of sightless being that appears

Lips curl in displeasure as the cold seeps in to control

Statuesque in form as silver beams dance in joviality…

And she cries

For another day has gone and the night has just started

Forfeiture of breath in the promise that can’t be kept

Spiraling in a descent that never ends when falling from grace

Time never wavered and the binds grip more tightly waiting for the dawning…

And she cries
