Midnight Hysteria.

Locking eyes, our souls intertwine.
 Daring to leave each others side.
 Together; truly alive!
Serendipitous - a divine design.

Victims of our own confine;
 Jealousy; determined to deprive,
 Conniving for a glorious revive.
Daring to whisper opine.

Actors; a flawless masquerade.
 Hands entwined - we knew, 
  Long overdue; our final goodbyes.

Jealousy, betrayal, hate; the shroud fades.
 And I see you;
  Smiling, through tear-soaked lies.

Soulmate.

Breaths of enchanting air,
 To resist would be in vain.
 Without - filled with pain;
My heart laid bare.

Dedication.

Bitter longing held deep within
 Desire to achieve is clear - yet faltering.
 Sloths and cheats cajole; flattering.
Inviting to become eternal kin.

To those who bow to that sin;
 Poison is what you're channeling.
 Deep down, it's known - disappointing.
Searching for a shortcut to a luminous fin.

No - Pride and dignity compel to resist!
 Before all that's left fades to dust,
  Found by those who choose to seek.

Epiphanies dissipate past prejudiced -
 Deep within your gut it's known; you must.
  For none are quite so meek.
