Less Than Were Dreams.
(A Dark Duality.)
____________________

Newly returned from
The Last Goodbye..
it nervously frets and
paces..

to avoid the Many
Razor-Blade-Eyes,..
and Angered Faces.

Where has it Been?..

What Has it SEEN?..

and How Many
were Friends?!!!

(less Than Were
Dreams.)
__

You cannot Pimp
Out that Whore called
Destiny,.. or expect
her not to come back
Broke,..Mad,.. and
Laughing!

I know this to
Be True..

it goes
without saying.

(not that I was
asking.)
___

It Loves a Far
Off Beauty..

She is Perfection
clothed in Pretty
Skins of Secret
Midnight Tragedy.

But "I" LOVE
Her Sincerely!!

since She Is A
Better,.. Less-
Broken Part of
Me!

Or....Us..
or...

(We.)

Many will likely
assume (and MAY
be correct in their
assumptions) that
such madness cannot
be faked..regardless
of the Inventive Powers
possessed by The Artist.

("IT" would likely agree..
don't you think...?)

Deep down...everyone
has an It,..or a Shadow
which is either successfully
integrated into their personality,
or becomes a mere Entity all it's
own ..that eventually consumes
one's Ability to pass themselves
off as "Rational."

But perhaps we're all just
Glorified Animals..
with Bigger Brains than
Those Lower Beasts
in This Tragic Kingdom ..
who rely on Natural
Instinct?

(perhaps IT will
never know.....)
