Twisted path of fate

Who said it was straight,                    
Makes one contemplate,                            
Leading one to certainty,                      
Golden spoon and plate

The eye of the monster,                            
The tail of the prey,                          
A story first rate,                                  
Twisted path of fate.  

The angels in heaven,
The corridors to hell,
The graveyard inscription,
Is all left to tell.

The future of happiness,
Freedom from the past,
Life’s one only mate,
Twisted path of fate.

Reasons all declined,
Emotions confined,
Erupting volcanoes,
Defining their time,

Oceans of serenity,
Vacation sublime,
And then finally,
A breathtaking light.

With pipers playing sweet music
Waiting at the gates,
A welcome to eternity,
Not early or late.

After all the heart burns,
Perhaps, theres more wait,
Another one of those wretched turns,
Of the twisted path of fate.
