in the dim lit
desert
of my dreams.
++++++++++

In the Dim lit
Desert of My
Dreams,

I met a
Wandering
Shadow Man
who's
smile ate the
Stars..

His Eyes Bled
Undead Memories.

(which seemed to
open up Old Scars.)

"I wouldn't tarry
here for long."

The Shadow
whispered lightly..

His
voice resembling
Siren Songs.

(which crept like
Madness deep inside
me.)

"Nor taste that wilted
Eros-flower others
Fools have tasted,
for it stains the mind
and leaves it Soured!"

(till the Hours of
Love grow Wasted.)

+++

then
I woke up
choking on my
Heart,

trying to make
sense of all I
had seen..

but the Mirror
Ripped my Soul
Apart!!

(once I realized
the shadow
man Was ME.)
