I’ve
stood at the edge and shook a fist at the gods.
Danced with a queen across oceans of dreams.
Cast my
pearls before the swine of mankind
Gave into
temptation when Eve offered it all…
I’ve
caught my tears in the midst of a storm
Counted each
one as it fell in the sea
Stole a
silver spoon from the palace of lies
And tried
to part the warm waters of Fall…
I’ve cloaked
myself in the robes of pain
Drank deep
from the cup of affection
Offered my
soul to the highest bidder
Then laughed
when their love turned to dust…
I’ve hid
between the shadows and light
Found comfort
among the mysteries of old
Listened to
wise men and laughed with fools
Watched a
rich man’s gold fall to rust…
I have
lived, I have died
I have
loved, I have lost
I have
possessed and forgotten...
But most
of all…
…I have dared!
