IN THE SHADOW OF AN OAK TREE

Time walked with tortoise steps
How much more painful tears must there be for me
Would I ever find my Superman soulmate

There was no fortress where I could hide
Shrubs with despairing fingers crabbed me
Octopus-suspicion cut deep in my arms

Titanium words kept me in my deceptive glass cascade
How long would I be a prison of my wheels-sin

Looked at the morning star
saw love run away from me
Snakes with iron-steel words surrounded my heart
Twisted letters sailed towards my bruised heart

Seek through the swamp of lies
Was there a hero-love just for me
Do I hold on to a Walt Disney tomorrow or does love
lie in the shadow of an oak tree
