Beguiled...

I, manifesting remembrance..
Yet I am deemed forfeit..
A memory of beauty, shrouded..
A forlorn quest for bliss..

Bereft in a darkened mind, so obscured..
A lifeless soul, is within secured..

Alone, steadfast, on a plain of fire..
Pursuing a dream that I see..
Erect in my mind, on pillars ever higher..
A vision of what darkness could be..

Belief, unspoken.. Deliverance..
Pursuit I seem to outwit..
Evading a conscious, clouded..
A parody of darkness & light..

When brightness in mind, darkness has secured..
Unfinished songs, I never had matured..

Alone, steadfast, on a plain of fire..
Pursuing a dream that I see..
Erect in my mind, on pillars ever higher..
A vision of what darkness could be..
