Project Ideal Character

Stuck in restless theater of my heart,
where shadow puppet of my younger self
performs perverse versions of my god soul,
I shield my inner demon with bright mask
designed to project ideal character
commissioned to succeed in game of truth.

Amused by careless antics of my youth,
I build cathedral from sorrow of hope
to shelter ghosts of my ancestral brains
buried under apple trees of respect
that transform rotten corpse of my framed soul
to wildflowers thrumming in soft spring breeze.

Yet somehow I always seem to survive
relentless waves of psychedelic change
converting anguish of obsessed despair
to passion of insouciant urgency
by sealing fracture of my heart with gold
to embrace imperfection of this flesh.

Resilient with true standard of insight
through natural cycle of birth, growth, decay,
and artistic repair, I reprogram
trauma as engineered process of growth
which values flaws as treasure of respect
to weave my soul in matrix of world mind.

Forbidden forest of star-shining lake
lures forensic explorer of my heart
on strict excursion in extractive maze
to format artificial model globe
compiled from various tales of human quest
in licensed landscape of inherent fear.

Ten thousand people flee their burning church
when planes of solidarity shoot bombs
that uncreate religious creeds of rage
though I present justice in frame of laws
based on eclectic theory of radiance
which loops our bodies in matrix of souls.

Framed by ring structure of connected minds,
my carbon atom in taut benzene ring
contrives trigonal plane in psychic bond
that stores conceptual memories of desire
which programs how my brain perceives the world
while I rotate on crystal wings of fate.

Awake in atrium of my tensile soul,
I strum conceptual lyre of Mercury
and sing uncanny spell of sudden truth
with vibrant voice of stringent honesty
so I fly from theater of my heart
when our world view collapses into lies.
