Twisted Deception

The smoke curled up from the smoldering fire
Twisted into the sky dispersing like my dreams
While the terribly convoluted life I live goes on
In it's simply complex evolution from emptiness

The truth becomes a dream of truth

While nightmares become a fact of life
Then the nightmares fall away exposing beauty
This ebb and flow has become a sad river

Balancing on a tightrope of hope
Over an abyss of bliss
Blinded by time and drowned by tide
I found a place to sail in a paper boat

I stopped running into walls
I stopped and found a soft green meadow
I lost my way to the place of dreams
I live in deception I am the deceived

I know the truth and it's not my dreams
I know my love is not what it seems
I feel the pain of those terrible things
I am a twisted deception with very thin seams
