Known Mystery

Peering slowly at humanity's decadent existence

There lies the known but unsolved mystery of love

Ever wonder why we languish without such thing?

Adrift its unknown logic is a dazed puzzle of life

A fiasco of feelings daunting our innocent hearts

But across the blinding light is a silhouette of hope

Pondering all those dreams suspended in shadows

Created by silent hearts ever wishing to satiate

And bring mellow words to soothe the doubts

Under the crimson sky lies the irony within

A labyrinth sent for sentimental fools to play

Tough warriors of love ready to face adversity

For only brave hearts take the risk

And solve the known mystery of such romantic love
