Escapism

 


Foundation.


If you could escape this world, would you take that risk?



Escapism 


As if cursed by the son of perdition


As I go about my new life's mission to gain admission to her realm


With Aphrodite's dead ringer who whispers songs of exquisite rendition


Praying a lone arrow from Eros bow will strike, drawing gasps from the angels watching


High in the midnight sky 


As I breathe in her sweet aroma and passion filled scent, like pure oxygen 


And feel regal like a king

Like King Solomon 


As her aura captures my soul like a moth is attracted to a flame


So now all dark nights appear so long and so black


As the shadow people slowly advance

Whispering my name 


For they know I have been changed by someone so radical.


As I entered the Fifth Dimension one strange night 


Looking to finding a love so sacred and magical


But that's the magic of searching for the fantastical


For as sure as winds seduce trees by subtle caresses 


As the world wakes each year in a new spring and fresh life begins


I write this before I go to the Hidden Forest


Where the White Ash stands


Where green ivy hides the entrance to her lair, and other slaves play music, while chained to metal stands


With the smell of incense on patrol in the electricity filled air


Ready to invade lungs and take control


It's ten to two in the morning and I have to appear at four


So if I don't come back, I leave this for you to know I'm fine


Keep the house 

Car and money 


For I'm going to a new place where fear no longer exists 


A place I hope welcomes me in


Just pray for me that I don't 

lose my soul and become just another flesh slave 


Chained up playing music in her band


A prisoner trapped forever in her cave


As she sits or stands

On her golden throne singing with her crimson red lips


You're now mine

Now get in line


Your time will come play


For now, you're caught 

And can no longer run away


For you're now just another one of my familiars


One in a trillion 

No longer a civilian 


All this I know for a German called Schiller


Told me over the internet

Told me to come over


Told me I'd be a member of a wolf pack serving a queen in The Great In-Between 


So here I am


Pray for me 

Ma xxx


Forever yours

Your son
