I see your silky skin
Draped about your face
As a toga around the finest of Greek noble women
Draped in beauty
...
An eye with no pupil has no need to blink
'Instill in me light', one eye might scream
And the other sits in anguish
Anguish of no birds to compose a morning musical
...
Trapped in the infinite sorrow
Of a life distraught with peril
I surround myself with drugs and alcohol
Many cocktails before extravagant joyrides
...
A cloud looms overhead
Lightning strikes and all is lost
Sparks and embers flying
And one crashes into my eye
...
The streets of Venice are engulfed in it
Girls are attracted by it
It stretches like a mile on the sea
But will it be the defining factor
...
