sweet the shadows

Sweet the shadows of your crimson shades

Paint it again when the color fades

Then paint my way to vertigo

Paint the path and then let go

 

That is the path to absolution

Free me from this retribution

Break the chains link by link

In compliments to what you think

 

I smile to the skies with inhibition

Of thoughts my dear your own rendition

Show me again and then show me more

Triple the notion that was tripled before

 

But can you? I really don't think that you can

Under the thumb of the hand of man

His way points directly to the path of illusion

Feeding the thoughts that feed the delusion

 

The delusion you hold along your side

That side being half of the whole you divide

I guess each side ways out equal

But what is original and which is the sequel

 

What comes first and which comes last

Which is the one that you surpassed

Or are you my dear stuck in the middle

Read the rhymes that lead to the riddle

 

It's always been there I think you know

And your frivolous ways haunt me so

You look for direction but won't follow the signs

Read what is written but between the lines

 

Look to what can be surely seen

Exquisit and marked and left serene

Left is the word that leaves things remaining

But forever is a word that leaves no complaining

 

Wrapped in the deepest depths of thought

Draped to elude the society sought

Be well and beware of nobody but yourself

In and of it's own and of all in itself

 

Tell me again and then tell me more

 It is the truth that I adore

Very poetic. I like the rhymes you use here. Not so typical. Well written.
