Wraith Reveries

They slithered to stage a drums distant called thrice
Until shadows take shape sight of the watcher hides
Shrouded in odeum shade, disguised

Once and always shall wait
Man in cursed masquerade and penetrate
Trance of pyrthic parade

Trace the echoes for memories end
I dragged them around marionetted rend
In oneiric dance until violins lay silent
For curtains to descend

Faces that pristine laughter held
Yet they are pathless and they are gone

Gone
My mind fleeing all torments of life
Prgastic pageantry in somniferous strife
On primrose path with deaths concubine
