I. Enigma

elusion illusion

finding the conclusion

that may never be reached

beseeched by those

who'll risk the poison die

for eyeful close examination

exaggeration

misleading for the searcher

as misbelieving nor conceiving

what liez beyond the gate

awaitz attention

apprehension of your state

of being inquisitive

ambition condition

yourself as supposition

that the answer

not even doez exist

persist + you will find

mind you another quest

the jest of the occasion

will bring a repetition

of the beginning or end

the same as a friend

who tried respond

sour the hour

see me to the tower

o'er the courtyard

outward the children play

away from the grip of tomorrow

or sorrow will bring on the start

of seclusion delusion of all that'z been done

in this fantasy

completing receding

into the opening of a new day

II. Memoirs (Of The Dream Of Dawn)

across the common

where the madman screamz

into a pool

of infinite reflectionz

a misty veil

liftz itz purple huez

into the view of my inner eye

say hey as i fade to grey

i catch the sunrise coming on

in memoirz of the dream of dawn

at the garden gate

i just had to wait

for they all could see i was leaving

as it slowly swung

on hingez where it hung

i closed the real world behind

as it beckoned me to carry on

in memoirz of the dream of dawn

shifting sightz on summer nightz

danced across my magic lawnz

that left winter'z freeze

tinged on autumn leavez

as memoirz of the dream of dawn

a pond of space left in my place

held my storiez till the morning

as i lay shadowed in warm silhouettez

living memoirz

of the dream of dawn

my silent wordz

whispered still + sound

embraced in my life'z secret groundz

a paradise within my mind

across the sleepy yawn

memoirz of the dream of dawn
