Universal Beach Of Solitude

Universal Beach Of Solitude

Folding my heart in gramophone of hope, 
I become wild swirl of wordless sea waves 
in vain attempt to reconcile my fear 
with anxious honesty of awful truth 
that keeps me circling my own private spot 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Wrapping my heart in peelings of the orange, 
I disappear in swirls of morning mist, 
happy to erase my face from the world 
as mindless waves erase my faint footsteps 
so all traces of my existence vanish 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Burying my heart in shifting sands of time, 
I wear corrupted mask of victimhood 
to solicit sympathy from blind gods 
who mock my pain with silence of the wind 
as I stumble randomly without hope 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Tracking my heart with seismograph of love, 
I quake with hate for monsters of despair 
that devour frightened people of my tribe 
who could not run fast enough over sand 
to escape sharp teeth of their hostile rage 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Hiding my heart in cavern of illusions, 
I watch shadows of demons on the wall 
writhe with horrible happiness of fate 
till I grip jagged metal wand of light 
and run screaming to attack monstrous fear 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Mapping my heart with raven quill of faith, 
I track my journey to the Promised Land, 
Egyptia to Arabia to Persia to India, 
ten thousand generations of lost souls 
forever hunting demons of despair 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Trapping my heart with proverbs of control, 
I confirm my soul with reins of the law 
my father designs to help me perceive 
demons of danger before they attack 
so I can evade monster of despair 
on universal beach of solitude. 

Building my heart in temple of the feast, 
I keep walking toward grave of fate I dig 
to roast demon I killed on altar stone 
and feed five thousand people steak and wine 
while wearing the demon skull as my crown 
on universal beach of solitude.
