Lesson 42

X marks the notion

Yonder, purpose is dearer,

Zealot in motion.

Ah, you’ve finally found it!

D’oh, in the rear-view mirror...

Restless beast

King of the jungle,

Heart's a beast that never sleeps,

Yet it always dreams;

Tugged by its roaring beats, we

Fathom what seems unreal

Fear of attraction

Audacious through love

They build bridges beyond hope,

Crossing mortal fears

Of spirit and perfection,

Wrinkles and imperfection...

Loop

A crime for a crime,

The belt whistles, waterfalls,

In a loop it goes...

The shirt of blame now fits you;

Disowned, waterfalls no more

Rider

Friction of fiction

Inflaming beyond control

Ardour for her touch,

With a triumphant stare, she

Rides the heatwave of passion

Undeserved gold

Eager but lazy,

Salivating jealousy,

They want the rewards;

Should the gold come undeserved,

They'll pay the price with a curse

Just like everybody

Fading images

Reverting queens and heroes

To average mortals,

Now just like everybody's,

They join the lost loves' graveyard

Secret lines

Invisible ink

Concealing what can't be said,

Read through a heart's lense

Secret lines of pure intent

Guiding to the promised hands

Naked

Stripped of flesh and clothes,

Sunburned by desire to kiss,

Naked life given

To your entity for a

Moment of eternity

Chrysalis

Heartshaped chrysalis

Hanging by a thread of faith

From the tree of dreams,

Swung by the winds of falter

It clings on, wishing to live
