Where fiction comes to life
The smoke from the gunfire,
Engulfs the smoke from the lab,
His dreams also made of smoke,
Stab his life and he falls on the slab.
Once a God he had been,
Once a king crowned,
Ruthless and driven,
An empire he had found.
The genius takes his last breath,
After a thousand trysts with death,
No stopping his fright,
Even in this last fight,
Beyond the grays of right and wrong,
This is Mr. White.

The train spirals through the desolate canyon,
The passengers eagerly awaiting an arrival,
Of thoughts, ideas, of perspectives maybe,
White hats and black ones eternally in a cycle.
I care not for this destination,
For I’m in a vivid dream,
And she’s with me.
I gaze into her eyes,
And a fiery spirit gazes back,
Of deep compassion and deeper truths,
And a scorching desire to be free.
I smile at her and she smiles back,
I search her soul,
For only she can make me whole,
But she probably lost the appetite for love,
When she tumbled down that rabbit hole.

A connection so elusive,
It eludes the coherent thought,
A reality so heady,
And yet it cannot be fought.
Star-crossed, they say,
And the sands slip away,
And yet the connection endures,
Their broken souls, it cures.

Waves of music tugged at the shore of my soul,
Then tides of it swallowed me whole,
Smiles, glee and euphoria,
Shimmered through the night,
Tipsy tunes made my heart spin,
Or maybe it was her sight?

This insistent mellow breeze here,
Whispers long lost secrets in my ear,
Azure waters as far as the eye can see,
And the sun is smiling down on me.

On countless journeys,
My feet place me,
And yet the destiny I seek,
Remains elusive,
Infinite perspectives,
This world feeds me,
And yet the wisdom I seek,
Remains elusive.

The knight spurred his horse,
Racing towards the dark tower,
A million obstacles lay in his path,
But he wasn’t one to cower.
For the princess was trapped,
And not a moment was to be lost,
But the tower was of her own making,
Not a realm meant to be crossed.
