Shadow Talker Poem by Arik Fletcher

Trapped inside a fantasy,
Lost within his dreams,
Enslaved by pure insanity,
A hopeless cause it seems.

Gripped by desperation,
Lost in what he believes,
Entrenched in preconception,
A flawed future he perceives.

Mapping out false history,
Lost inside words so sweet,
Engaged deep in the mystery,
A soul swept off his feet.

Sapping all his energy,
Lost in a world of bliss,
Embracing hopeful synergy,
A victim to fate's kiss.
