Borderline

      A psyche's inscape's treacherous,
      As alive with dangers as with bliss;
      The purple outcrop of a mental rock
      Cripples the supple Muse and mocks.
5     Caught between imagination and the dream
      The mind's barriers dissolve at the seams;
      The motivating carnivals of lurid emotions
      Cycles us like actors thru smoky memories and scenes.
      Here we're running, running on the borderline
10    Half-unaware of the tailored baggage we've brought,
      Half-amnesiac about the burdens dropped,
      Drunk on our own lucubrant blood like wine.
      Blindfolded eyes foretell dark prophecies
      When we cannot see that we cannot see.
