THE SLAVE

He feels helpless though he does not know why.

He feels himself rise -

Wears his disguise -

A warrior wise

who does not understand

why the flaw overcomes him.

Why the need is eternal...

That wanting infernal..

The ache & the breathing of needing & want.

All his life it will haunt him

Torment tease & taunt him

Forever he bends down

Forever a thorned crown

Forever a dance & always so clever...

Forever he dreams of

The day that he finds love

These dreams will enslave him always

Forever.
