a caged wolf lies within this solitary mind
red lines, marked by irreverent thought,
streak now my back raw…
oh that i could escape the pain of this duality!
but that i linger on the edges of such
a passionate embrace,
knowing how the devil in me
longs the confines of this constraint…
craving release, i find myself fevered
by the very arms that hold me so-
and I wonder at how I can face myself

For Madmen Only!
For Madmen Only!
Solitary Man! Where is your pride?
Lost between two worlds, No one can find.
Inspired Wolf of the Steppes, Caged and tied;
Clawing your way out, to the other side.
Duality of Nature, Succulent and divine,
On two legs- with four inside.
Lonesome and wretched, No where to hide
Human Nature’s…. horrified
Between the sun and the stars You reside;
In constant conflict with your other mind
Miserable being! Pay heed to this Sign;
Red blinking warmth- Calling you inside
For Madmen Only– Only We should apply,
Join us and run, and Peace you should find.
Dark night’s bright light calls us, we bay and obey
Between the two worlds, solitarily stay.
Throw off your blessings, and rip off your claws
That’s how you find us, Madmen All!
