Once Upon A Time
by
Robert Cameron Hazelton
Velvety touch of pure sunshine
Keep me warm and soothe my mind
Your life explodes and gives me life
Bisecting my heart like a surgeons knife
Endless motion without control
Sucking me in, draining my Soul
The conquering nation of insanity rules
None of them listen, they're beggars and fools
The deep dark secrets of my carnival dreams
Cosmic intentions move into extremes
Water slithers through a crack in the wall
Life passes by as I swim through it all
Twirling, swirling, I'm evil inside
Everyone's watching, I know I can't hide
Mortality alters, life expands
My mind resides in fantasy lands
Unrealities enter, unknown things take shape
I spent my life eating the sour grape
Horizons appear and mysteries beckon
A rose bleeding softly passes on_
It's a storybook kingdom all over the world
Plots keep unfolding with each page that's turned
There are Princes and Dragons in a constant duel
Then there are Wizards who're nobodies' fools.
