The Fool, life begins confused, random direction it goes
Scared, heart thaws, alone and wonders
Heat, the sun emits, along its erratic flow
Thoughts, questions without answers, continues to ponder
The Magician, face covered, attempts to hide
Thoughts run on, hopes and reality clash
Winds blow, within the cold, no place to reside
Numbers, counting down, hands bound by a sash
The High Priestess, intuition guides, the labyrinth grows in complexity
Deluded, life runs on, wander in frustration
Lies, wall created, shrouded in obscurity
The rose, within the glass it lays, waits for emancipation
The Empress, who bears love, but also feared
Afraid, He runs, never stopping to try
Pandora, disappointment awaits, lock rusts and tear
Wishes never fulfilled, only wills to fly
The Emperor, never care for and never will
Siren sounds, ringing and constricting, the sense of balance
Lasting scars, the wounds reopen, blood spills
Contempt grows, compassion transform into ribbons of evanescence
The Hierophant, appears and disappears, existence questioned
Lessons taught but never learned, road leads to mutilation
Change wishes to be placed, although overcame by passion
Heart believes to live, but cannot defeat the trepidation
The Lovers, dare to love, from Eden they depart
Maverick by nature, inability however, constricts the carefree clown
Destiny, holds the swords, drawing them apart
Patience does not permit, happiness that was found
The Chariot, holds a flowerbed of wishes
Runaway train, escapes the truth of its tracks
Souls connect, the flowing sand, sacred cherishes
Selfish hopes for death, fading into shades of black
Strength, crumbling structure, lacks control
Support of allies, soon fall in defeat
Desires of body, cruelly takes its toll
Time and space, area of silence completes.
The Hermit, shamed to show His face
Hatred, overtakes conscience, no longer anticipates
Battles of the source, hidden beneath the normal pace
Pleasure found within pain, but problem complicates.
The Wheel of Fortune, continue spinning, into the depths of void
Opportunity arises, though without realization
Chains of sounds, clouds and rain, harmony annoyed
Blink of light, lost of sight, ends with confirmation
Justice, corrupted by trust, impossible to purify
Faith lies on the frozen field, whispers quiet words
Pain, overwhelming at hand, vision begins to petrify
Morning sounds, rhapsody of a masochist, can no longer be heard
The Hanging Being, suspended in time, heart awakens
Artificial intelligence, metal covered in vines, submits to ground
A flower grows surreptitiously, attempting to mend the broken
Water that nurtures, in dreams it drowns
Death, in its physical form, triggered curiosity
Chapter closes, the pages burn in flames
The scythe, in its metaphoric form, does not spare generosity
Clock ticks, flowing minutes, the body claimed
Temperance, in the reflection of the blade, accuracy shown
Flying papers, a routine of suffering
Rivers of blood, the cleansing of opposite clones
The book abandoned, forgotten blessings
The Devil, the fallen angel, wrongfully accused
Misunderstanding imprisoned, bright minds fall to restrictions
Barren lands, anger and hate tragically abused
Wings returned, ascending from abject constrictions
The Tower, crumbling in time, futile to ameliorate
Trapped, helplessly wait for salvation
Thoughts of iniquity, unwilling to obliterate
Lamenting the past, dancing with emotions
The Star, shining at the transitory security
Galaxies holds false witness, distorting the scale
Prayers chases after a shooting star, but falls to supreme velocity
Road of fireflies blink and flickers, eventual existence curtails
The Moon, through its circular path it fills the ark
It’s orbit losing balance, away from the power it flees
An eclipse, the forbidden is revealed in the dark
Equanimity disturbed, the line gives into no plea
The Sun, the ominous beast, hunts the weak
Away He hides, for the presence of the Gemini is denied
Holy knowledge, wisdom guide, no mercy leaks
Mask the grotesque, forbid the wishes to die
Judgement, lost in space, and no longer able
Decision has made, permitting no way out
Reality proves, that happy ends only exist in fables
Last minute for choices, every second, full of doubt
The World, the final chapter reached
The final petal has fallen, yet no hope has bloom
Remaining words, does not have a chance to preach
Clock breaks, determined doom.
