All She Ever Knew
Born under a dubious, shy star onto this planet blue
Quiet as a maus, invisibility, inked her hunkered hue
Sketchy prints patterned her unsteady passage through
Life in the Twilight Zone, was all she ever knew
============================
Suspended in a cloistered cocoon from in time she flew
To trust a tenacious tyrant trothed to trace a twinned tattoo
They danced across the canvas in a raw rebellious roux
Life in the Twilight Zone, was all she ever knew
====================================
Wicked the wiles that wandered wild the wrong way with you
Leashed low to limber lies, lack laid like lumber, little left in lieu
But, bloomed a nascent butterfly from the darkness grew
Once, life in the Twilight Zone, was all she ever knew
=========================================
Slinking slowly, stand to stalwart, solid shores each shoe
Pick a piece to plant it in her paltry painted point of view
Broken boundaries, bit the bullet, blindsided bitter brew
Once, life in the Twilight Zone, was all she ever knew
=========================================
In the ubiquitous embrace of gravity was courage she clung to
'Neath the face of the chivalrous moon, dawn's dream drew
Angel arms aligned abducting anger as the air arose anew
Once, long ago, life in the Twilight Zone was all she ever knew
===============================================
