Rolled up in an asphalt chamber
bleeding through the cracks you made
pounding with your fist like thunder
seeking light for some escape
building Barbie dolls to worship
holding hate in cherished goblets
torn between your light and darkness
pour the blood of Jesus on it
Love becomes the walking wounded
scarred from shadows shedding skin
illusion justifies a new religion
lipstick shades are leaking thin
shadows fall on dolls beheaded
slap a new face on her body
another chrysalis explosion
call it falling back in “love” again
Vision unable to split the darkness
dislocating angels wings
falling from the heavens broken
seeking wholeness in crucified kings
calling it love
calling it love
calling it love
is it real or just illusion?
.....understanding the masquerade
