Project Ideal Character

Stuck in restless theater of my heart, 
where shadow puppet of my younger self 
performs perverse versions of my god soul, 
I shield my inner demon with bright mask 
designed to project ideal character 
commissioned to succeed in game of truth. 

Amused by careless antics of my youth, 
I build cathedral from sorrow of hope 
to shelter ghosts of my ancestral brains 
buried under apple trees of respect 
that transform rotten corpse of my framed soul 
to wildflowers thrumming in soft spring breeze. 

Yet somehow I always seem to survive 
relentless waves of psychedelic change 
converting anguish of obsessed despair 
to passion of insouciant urgency 
by sealing fracture of my heart with gold 
to embrace imperfection of this flesh. 

Resilient with true standard of insight 
through natural cycle of birth, growth, decay, 
and artistic repair, I reprogram 
trauma as engineered process of growth 
which values flaws as treasure of respect 
to weave my soul in matrix of world mind. 

Forbidden forest of star-shining lake 
lures forensic explorer of my heart 
on strict excursion in extractive maze 
to format artificial model globe 
compiled from various tales of human quest 
in licensed landscape of inherent fear. 

Ten thousand people flee their burning church 
when planes of solidarity shoot bombs 
that uncreate religious creeds of rage 
though I present justice in frame of laws 
based on eclectic theory of radiance 
which loops our bodies in matrix of souls. 

Framed by ring structure of connected minds, 
my carbon atom in taut benzene ring 
contrives trigonal plane in psychic bond 
that stores conceptual memories of desire 
which programs how my brain perceives the world 
while I rotate on crystal wings of fate. 

Awake in atrium of my tensile soul, 
I strum conceptual lyre of Mercury 
and sing uncanny spell of sudden truth 
with vibrant voice of stringent honesty 
so I fly from theater of my heart 
when our world view collapses into lies.
