BLINDED BY TERPSICHORE Desperate moments of the day Seized by the shadows of my own Destiny Lost to lies and deceit Lost to myself Within Still I pay the devil his dues For some unknown sin Blinded by the Charms Of Life'sTerpsichore I never see Other voices that speak for me Mesmerized in her dance...

TRICKERY Left alone and on my own It was my time So many things to do So many places to see So much I wanted to be But I felt a demon close behind He’d been to this house before Scratching at my door I knew him well He was back again Don’t break I heard myself say Let me live the lives I never knew...

Reflections

*The Lotus Eaters [A Dedication] Mindless oblivion Sweet rememberings slowly slipping by Lost in the darkness of the lotus eaters Forgetting who they are Infinite seconds an eternity As Shadows fall across all knowing No soul that speaks Humanity No eyes to beg No voice to seek Release...
