Whisper on the Shadows (Dreaming of Selene)

a moonlight engagement
with the dreams and demons of desire
the invitation to drink the great orb's reflection
from the lake of lost memories

whisper on the shadows of visions i kept

something creeps on the missing truths
a face lost in the almanacs of winters shaded in time 
the voice of a thousand secreted autumns moves in the mist
formless in the swirling madness of my current mental state

whisper on the shadows of visions i kept

my gypsy past screams at the reflection i gaze into
the modern me too little of the gothic creature i remember
the creature i remember too little of the honesty i sold
my honesty screams at the gypsy who let go

whisper on the shadows of visions i kept

a lunar fantasy 
at the wheel of consequence
satellite infatuation 
a moonlight engagement
at the alter of insanity

in the arms of selene i slumber 
dreaming of the riddle i could never solve
of the rainbow i could never catch
in the arms of selene i remember

whisper on the shadows of visions i kept

my gypsy finds me on the brink of destruction
the final scene of a gothic tale i wrote eons before my birth
only my deception can save me now
will the plot twist of morning come too late?

will the whisper i wrote wake me before i fall? 

Anna, She Drives the Big Van While I Smile and Wave at the Creatures Along the Highway

  these broken boxes of dreams scattered about the lime green waters sleeping in icy caverns beneath the surface of moons i long ago forgot ...
