Twisted Elysium

Silence and darkness fill the air

A haven amongst day’s chaos

A safety under no one’s stare

I am finally all alone

Except for the moon who spills light

Into the night’s dark shadowed sea

Kissing my face in the midnight

Where lights choke stars till they’re unseen

I am at last free and weightless

Body floating into the sky

A serenely lit oasis

Intoxicating with its lies

An Elysium of numbness

A castle full of empty vows

A musical of silent bells

But the universe won’t allow

Such silence, such euphoria

Just palaces of enigmas

Alas, I dreamt this utopia

For some, just an anathema

For me, who chases self-control

It’s just an empty promise-land.
