It's good to have

a fantasy

That is ruined by a dream

That prevents emotional unity

between you and all

that is separate

No traces of purity

Privacy or the

sacred

all left behind

in dead time

only to be experienced in recollections of innocence gone array

Faint and weak impressions

of a child rearranged

by the beast of

decadence

Sacrifice for the ability

To be able to explore

hedonistic qualities

of the soul
