Thoughts begin to become clear.
Esqued vision from time passed.
A recurring opposition…
As though skin’s been shed,
I realign the thoughts in our head.
For your will is mine.
(behold our katabasis)
Your thoughts now pure.
No Judgement in these eyes.
Your second guess is my demise.
(but i understand..
So you question not -
your previous encounters
before have not understood
one word spoken.)
-They All Pretend-
Your destiny encompasses all you wish to see.
Just trust the shadows & familiar I will be.
Your spirit with me.
You yearn to be free.
Your will still with me.
I make you believe -
With a touch so rare
& a thought – you dare
keep secrets aware
of what may lay beyond there.
(capabilities)
Thoughts begin to focus.
(become clear)
My wants. My needs.
Things, material or otherwise
will help achieve
a more positive reaction
from my inner psyche.
I want ______.
I need ______.
I illuminate
My thoughts.
All. Inner
& further inward.
I am your everything,
not only _____, but
wants, needs, desires,
memories, loves, losses,
mourns, laments, sorrows,
fates, lucks, all of
which lie within you.
All that you thought was real
has been shredded
& all that is LEFT
is my will.
(repeat this)
I believed you as a thought
& thought you would pass
but you just don’t stop
& I feel the pressure
pushing from within
out my skin.
All you thought was real
has been shredded
all that is LEFT
(is my will)
…but you just don’t stop
and I feel the pressure
pushing from within
out my skin..
Out of… my Skin.
Feel it..
NOW!
