Scarlet Veil, by ŦBaethan Dawn♂ Subscribe to rss feed for ŦBaethan Dawn♂

Ha!
See it,
The relics of the night.
Your heart desires them
And reaches out to
Their sparkling mirrors.

Your eyes turn
In spite of your mind.
Your heart is a void emptiness.
You suck at the darkness,
Trying to grasp onto the light.
It doesn't exist.

Listen to that man
Across the street.
Yes, the one with large ear hairs. 
Listen to him, yes, widen your ears.
He belongs in your consciouosness,
In your sight.

He is a wise man.
But, the scarlet veil will not hide 
The nature that only he could behold. 
The demon behind the beeming mask,
The joker behind the simpleton. 
Listen to him.

He is you, the real you, the one behind the scarlet veil.
His life was not full of roses and honey.
Live with a mask.
Be as sly as a fox.
Slither your way through obstacles
Like a hunting python. 

Though it may be difficult to find happiness,
Don't let smiles around you 
Rush you to them.
The scarlet veil,
They use it as well. 
Seek them only to your use. 

Scarlet veil,
Curse and blessing.
Use it
Or lose it.
