Vix Humana


Am i kin of the ground

or son of the sky?

tell me what you see

when you look in my eyes

 

Is my father the lion 

that roars in late summer

or am i Gemini's son

the prey and the hunter?

 

I was king of my mind

castle built in my name

but the ravenous ego 

has put me in chains

 

So i cut through this flesh

to escpe through these slits

i curve my mortality 

when failed by my wits

 

My oculus my enemy 

beat the monster i've tried 

but now he's what 

you  see when you look in my eyes. 

 

so let imagination guide you

and think what it may be 

but i have no answers 

as to whats inside me
