Alien Within
Deceiver, wrought with dreams
alien demensia, beyond my loss
a lovers cross
retied and brought together
Indemnities forsaken in my greed
How can I describe it
desirous of life, let me be
for all that I contend
and all I'll be
your company leaves, and with it
my first draught of reality
consenting, and yet
put aside
for the normality
So insidious is life
Then arise, in your 'troth
again I hear your welcome call
forever again, in joyous setting
which belie's your token deed
Ascending into urgent matter
oh cusp of honor, decide my fate
recycling drops of ardent measure
you live, and taunt
my thoughts of late
Clearly I have no comission
called for, yet unshriven
residing in my one omission
Zenophobe, may lust combat her
To be, yet not exist
a frightful mirror I resist
concealing all I am to be
within my self
for what I'm worth
