Kevin Patrick - My Room

I feel the cancer of this room
Pull me into seven circles
And entwine some ferial mood
Until my souls mercurial

This heaven is, its own made prison
Rewarding restless coloured passion
Seeping thoughts with pleasure lesions
That extinguishes my pallid talents

My mansions poor of what I'm not
A privy respect for solitude
Where wisdom learned cannot be bought
Experience from forbidden fruit


If I should drift inside my storm
That harkens to a tempest rage
Then you are free to shut the door
And leave me to my red delight

For no companions do I share
My existence or its joys
Spending time alone on dares
With my loves in silent voids

Through the window is the world
Of a place I do not see
I wish I understood the part
That made me a human being


Now I rest inside my room
And rest until my tomb
