Literature Text

The years flow into centuries
And the pictures become real
Life becomes a fantasy –
There are dreams and hearts to steal.
Dance straight out of reality
And into paradise.
Love the theatricality
And roll the weighted dice.

Build me something wondrous,
Build a better dream,
Revel in the oneness
Of mind and magazine,
Embrace your uncertainties,
Encase them in a lie,
Abandon all your purities,
Build castles in the sky.

The Taj Mahal is better
When marble fades to silk.
A leaf becomes a letter,
And men turn into milk,
Bizarre takes on new meaning
And the mazes never end.
The weighted dice are waiting
To start it all again.

Build me a something monstrous,
Send me on the run,
Revel on the oneness
Of mind and loaded gun,
Embrace the unknown darkness
And let the knots untie,
Lash it to the turrets
Of your castle in the sky.

Build a better mousetrap,
Love a waking dream,
Sculpt it out of pinesap
And mind the magazine,
Embrace a tall, dark stranger
In the caverns of your mind,
Incinerate the dangers
Of your castles in the sky.
Oh god, I dunno. Definetly rampant Inception references and weird stuff about lucid dreams.

I tend to write first, figure out what the hell I'm talking about later.

GREAT rhyming! I can see why my "Beauty In A Rainstorm" reminds you of this poem.
It's similar, but yours is, by far, better than mine.
I couldn't begin to describe how much talent I think you have. :) Great job.
