An iceberg Its beauty so great To draw you near Until so close If only illusion were real... Icebergs of beauty... Sculptures in the sea The oceans and winds of storm And the hands of time Busily shaping Sculpting and creating its design For they are the artists With a world on their mind... Icebergs of danger... An icy mist Falling over the sea Like a veil of danger The precautions of nature Warning you Don't journey Where you can't see Its beauty to be seen in the distance The icy chill it sends through the air Is the warning of its resistance Beware of the man Who wants to take you near And uses his delusions As reasons of insistence You're getting so close To its snow-white coast But better you should keep Your distance From this welcoming host So long untouched by man The secret of keeping virgin the land Nature insists Don't leave opportunity for man To touch with his hand Forever let the ice Leave him afraid Live no trail For him to parade The cliffs of ice Like a razor's edge Read the warnings from afar Don't get too close Stay just where you are Icebergs of illusion... Always drawing you closer And closer... like the smile From a beautiful stranger Enchantment is a veil That conceals the danger Illusion... Is the kiss on the lips From the beautiful stranger Who always appears to exist When she has to grant A delirious wish As now you've gotten to close The warnings were your last hope Now all you can do is pray That the falling ice Won't sink your boat Illusion... Paints a picture On the canvas of your mind The images that you can see Become a part of your reality Entrapment is your reward When beauty cases Its hypnotic spell At least if you believe in illusion That's the lie... it will tell Joe Sedd Newnan, Georgia USA   Submitted By: NULL
