LABYRINTH

LABYRINTH

Dark grey building

Jutting into the sky

Clouds of grey passing by

.. ..

A tower, a prison

A place of no reason

My blood turns cold and crimson

As I look into your deep blue eyes

.. ..

The cold rugged landscape

Of bluish concrete

Ugly dark shapes and twisted black

Knurled bricks and dense cracks

.. ..

You edge closer

Dark impending walls

Blue flames of white and gold

I suddenly feel so cold

.. ..

A beam of light through the open window

Grey clouds part for second

New life beckons

Dungeon walls reside

You are now by my side.

.. ..

Time stands still

In this cold dark abyss

You gently touch my lips

As I feel your poisonous kiss

Theseus opens the labyrinth door

I follow the golden thread

To see the light once more.
