V. Stolen Secrets

[Gilberto]

1.

A dreamer found the hallowed hall
That harbored hidden glories
Assured against the ancients’ thrall
He stole their secret stories

2.

Little did the dreamer know
The things he learned that day
The fates decided long ago
To keep them locked away

3.

As Daedalus the sun betrayed
To strengthen their security
From waking world his life unmade
They bound him in obscurity

4.

He learned too late in retrospect
He paid too great a cost
For stealing what the fates protect
He is forever lost

These ones are harder than the nostradamus ones, these are so straightforeward I can only see the obvious meaning.
Go Prof, your turn, I'm out.

Is they supposed to be riddles? Because I'm just digging on the rhythm and meter and visuals. Really impressive.

[lynn]

That's how I feel, I feel like trying to find some sort of deeper meaning than the obvious one is denying the power of what is already there in front of you.

[Gilberto]

Hard to say. The images really do come from dreams, so they might not mean anything. The lyrical style is for flare. It's meant to make them reminiscent of Nostradamus quatrains, but they end up reading like nursery rhymes.
