The jaded soul

imprisoned in your grey ivory towers

gardens of fallen meteorite showers

recluse such as I, in the world of paradox                                 

trapped in the dark of pandora's box

barren lands of cold concrete walls

scent of the red rose in minds recall

here in the decaying atmosphere lies

yet another lost emotion in disguise

i ponder on distant shores curtailed

awaiting the winds of sail unveiled

beyond the horizons i seek denied

a lost love at the edge of the divide

no refuge from the menacing heat

cold waves lap the swollen conceit

time has bypassed our lives forsake

lost forever in the disappearing wake

just an illusion that enslaved us apart

in the blues in the depths of the heart

caged sunshine as the night latches on

another bites the dust ashes to ashes

this poem would never have a lifeform

for a fleeting moment i lived reformed

tracy chapman consoles the jaded soul

my love a typographical error foretold.
