Intoxicating The Night - Am I Real To You?
There was lost a child unfound
Seated there and sitting
Sinking in the ground
Rise. As Pan in crimson anguish rise
Fulfil the prophecy of your eyes
Oedipus blind now

Where now shall he hide?
Drink with me ambrosia,
Nectre fallen from the breast of Aphrodite
Slither with me

The court is gathered – arcane fires stirring
Into the glass house tumble
Fumbling - stumbling –
Stuttering – muttering madness
Crying tears of sadness
Filling your cup too heavy to bear
Tomorrow we journey upon trail lines set
The track in blur forgetting.
The prince of thieves has returned to rid the land of shame
Who would claim to know his name?
One was one of two
Two where two of three
The one that was not two
Became the third in me
Destiny
Eternity
All a sunder, lightning, thunder
From island paradise I have returned
More clear of mind and soul
More whole than ever before
And aware of the doors that await
Aware of the shadows that cast imagination adrift
Through breaking clouds we move in madness
