Maze Of The Eye

Maze Of The Eye

Swifter than process of the waterfall 
my leap of faith carries me beyond truth 
because when I answer the midnight call 
sorrow transforms me into the sleuth 
reluctant to answer the question why 
that cages my soul in maze of the eye. 

Complete as shell of the unbroken word 
my naked calculation to grasp power 
arranges puzzle of the dream unheard 
that proves salvation of the twisted flower 
always codes writhing window of the sky 
each time I try to map maze of the eye. 

Sudden as collapse of our old world view 
our love at first sight protects us from harm 
though happy children sailing past the new 
sell each other lies with defractured charm 
as if they cannot believe angels fly 
over walls that define maze of the eye. 

Instead of forcing species of lost worlds 
to assimilate against their free will 
the kind-hearted queen helps lost boys and girls 
join collective where they share unique skill 
to build galactic empire while they vie 
with lovers to create maze of the eye. 

Crazy with grief at loss of ones we love 
we wander dazed in haze of memories 
to reach in vain for paradise above 
that never opens doors with secret keys 
confused beyond logic we should apply 
till we meet our ghosts in maze of the eye. 

Stuck in dark shadow of the hopeless hour 
where demons of our fears lurk behind masks 
we grope for life with hearts stubbornly dour 
while we hide our feelings under cold casques 
since resistance is futile to comply 
with mandate of fate in maze of the eye. 

Strange as self-sacrifice of love may seem 
to spirits twisted with bitter despair 
we escape trap of false wisdom we deem 
too precious for bold game of truth or dare 
with consequence only fools will defy 
in bid to transcend weird maze of the eye. 

Shocked by the horrible beauty of death 
that deconstructs organic souls in time 
my body conspires energy through breath 
designed by victors who evolve from slime 
in process of learning how to descry 
way of salvation through maze of the eye.
