I want to open the door,
The door to enchantment—
Where every right step
A path of mystery opens.
Down the rose-covered roads,
Animals and fairies would scurry;
Bright magic before me
In a forest so adoring.
In the midst of the night,
Sounds of sweet sing
From the bubbly sea
And the swaying wind....
What is mystery and why is it such a secret?
Well you see, mystery is the power of the unknown.
It’s not understanding something because maybe we just don’t believe.
Why does the Mona Lisa smile?
Why does Mona Lisa have the power to look at you each way you move in the picture?
Why do people go missing in the Bermuda triangle and they’re never seen again?
How was the collosseum built so...
They escaped down the narrow hallway dimly lit with candles emerging from the walls.
A powerful force blew past them and into the wall to their right. Just inches from death, they began sprinting even faster and swung a left.

a corpse now, in the light.
Sex and agony painted
across my skin.
Those wounds growing
deeper with every new sin.
Upon my deathbed I
memorized the sky.
Until the first kiss from death...
Children ask me "Do you believe in magic?"
They already know the answer, but it does them no harm to hear it over and over.
Yes.
I believe in a summer storm spending itself over the water,
Forks of light ripping through the sky, leaving the world scrubbed and the air perfumed with salt.
I believe in the last notes of a violin, played alone, when the only light comes from a crescent moon, a secre...
It’s just a game
Puzzles and tricks
Two of the same
But one you pick
Caged again
By lock and key
Play pretend
No one will see

The real you—
Hidden inside
They’ll say “who?”
You’re in disguise.
Wave the wand
Sparks will fly
