You need but

Breach your zone of self control
Reach the touchstone of your soul.

Turn your key of desire
And fire innovations you
Leave behind the mundane mire
Sire, the unencumbered view.

Walk upon some rainbow's ramp
Hear a camp of angels sing.
Wring and rub Aladdins lamp
Damp your mental whimpering.

Be a genie of augment
Scent your dreams of fantasy
Fill your heart with mild content
Vent them to reality.

I like the content, but should "innovations" be "innovate"?

I'll be checking back!

Innovations, schminovations, I liked the poem nonetheless.

I's likes this! Great rhetorical poetic conventions! Just wondering about innovations...I actually think it sounds OK, if you read fire as a verb and insert a mental comma after innovations - am I way off?!

To Severn, yes you could do that. I think I had that in mind when I was writing.
