He hid behind a computer screen

Hobnobbed, with the best of them

Nobody knew quite who he was

Though he thought of himself as a gem

He could woo all the ladies, sight unseen

They would swoon, at his debonair style

But he knew, his secret life was obscene

It took its toll on him, after awhile

In an effort to make himself come clean

He gathered the girls, all together

The biggest mistake, he’d ever make

Left him coated, in tar and feathers

I think it was just a century ago

Yes, I’m certain it wasn’t much longer

When I cast the spell of fire’s light

Twas then I became much stronger

 

Making colors dance, in rhythmic circles

While, below, Earth lit up the night

I stood high, above the mountain tops

Watching clouds, with mysterious light

 

Magical spells, calling forth my sisters

Let them rise in celebrated breath

Let them shine their light, in the darkness

Giving purpose, to their immortal death

 

I could feel my sisters, gathered around me

One’s who had passed, still in their prime

Banished by those, who misunderstood

I knew know, it was nearly my time

 

This promise, I make, to those before

I will never let you be cast aside

For you are the fire, burning in my soul

The reason you shall never be denied

Posed, she was a lady in waiting

Golden ruffles, gathered with grace

She stood there, impatiently waiting

With nary a smile on her face

Seems she’d been there for quite awhile

Surrounded by marble and flora

Hoping to catch a glimpse of him

And become his darling signora

But the hours passed by, still nothing

The man of her dreams didn’t show

So she went to bed, fully dressed

Using her frock, as a comfy throw

Azure blue, the perfect sky

I sit and watch, and peacefully sigh

A flower blooms, in the softest pink

I’m lost in the meadow, and quietly think

How beautiful it is, to be able to see

A world, in pastels, so perfectly

The windows gave no warning

Of the madness kept inside

She walked in silence, mourning

Searching for the soul who died

Wandering about, unknowing

She was quite simply an aberration

A mind filled with naught, overflowing

Condemned, in her own damnation
