Enigma of Me
My words proclaim the enigma of me,
subconscious, soul searching soliloquy.
From the hidden archives of my mind,
in images and shadows, mysteries I find.
Words manifest from unknown places,
in trance like illusion, many faces.
Personified I am, with wrong and right,
sadness and joy rendezvous in the night.
I encounter what makes me sing,
yet shadows to my heart they bring.
Horsemen galloping across my soul,
offer peace in a golden alms bowl.
I find repose again in the nocturnal,
reborn in a dark, midnight tribunal
A guilty rose, my broken muse,
bending in the light of a crimson sunrise.
