Once upon a time he came
among the sons of men,
knee bowed and spirit chained:
full of childhood innocence.
A spell was cast
and words were spoken.
A soul was masked
and memories were broken.
Given the chance to dream.
Standing at the threshold
of a new reality,
conceived like Perseus
in a dream of gold:
eternal child
lost now in a parody,
the morning of desire
about to unfold.
Once upon a time he came
among the sons of men,
incarnation of youth, desire unchained:
full of childhood innocence.
A spell was cast
and words were spoken.
A soul was masked
and memories were broken.
Given the chance to dream.
