Mask
What is it you're hidding
beneath that smiling face?
Confronted by the shadows
you run a faster pace
And who is it you run from?
Where do you go and why?
I'm standing right behind you
Turn and look me in the eye
Is the truth so much more painful
than these forsaken lies?
That you find the need to hide it
behind that clever guise?
That cold expression's cracking
A cry comes from within
You can no longer hide it
beneath your pale skin
The truth has finnaly caught you
you hide your face in shame
You've spent your whole life running
from the monster you couldn't tame
Still I stand before you
My own truth yet to tell
Everyone wears a mask my friend
But you wear yours so well

Our Silence
What would you say
if I asked you to stay
here beyond the gates of time
My clustered thoughts clutter my mind
So many things to tell you
Yet the words have slipped away
Here our silence is held
Stale air
Breathless forms casting shadows upon the wall
The space between filled with quiet tension
which aided by a voice
would scream a thousand times
my soul's true confession
Yet still this silence is held
Turning around
You place a trembling hand upon my shoulder
A whisper
The air moves slightly
The clock's hand drops down heavily
Relief that the moment has finally passed
For spoken
Our silence is broken

Fear
Why do you fear human contact?
Are you afraid?
...to be loved?
...to be hurt?
...to be reached?
...to rely on another?
Because it confirms your own existance
The validation of a being you can't understand
You refuse it, push it away
Rejection
Separation
...from yourself
...from the world
...from everyone
...from everything
Now you are nothing.
No one can stand alone.
In truth you fear yourself.

For Future
Embraced by the wind
I'm chasing my destiny
The wings on my back
Create a path to the future
Rise up now
Following the road fate has chosen
Be strong now
A dream is a promise unbroken
Embraced by the wind
I'm facing my fears
This battle will continue on
Until the day I die
Look past this
These obstructions I must pass
Keep going
The future is a spell that I've cast
Lets watch it's magic unfold...

Broken Arrows
Staking my life
Breaking the chain
Love lies in vain
Come darkness
Feel me
Come light
Fear me
Stars shine above me
The night that loves me
Take what you will
Your breath it stays still
Death comes so easy
To those who kill

With Me
Poisoned mind
Sick betrayal
Seeking to find
the light
I've failed
Your eyes, once bright
Now hard as stone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me alone
Alone...
And every time I see your smile
It takes me back just for awhile
To that place I've always been
Deep within
One more time
I'll tell the tale
Of your face
So soft and pale
Of your life
Full of regret
Yours is a lie
I'll never forget
Forget...
And everytime I see your smile
It takes me back just for a while
Back to that olace I'll always be
You're hear with me

Love Imagery
The twinkling of stars in your eyes
The night sky is your companion
How I long to be there by your side
Basked in the light of the silver sweet moon
Crystal tear drops form a shimmering pool
Perfumed roses from your mystical garden
Each petal a cherished memory of us
Scattered apon the waves of time
Drifting softly for all eternity
Only together, we might continue on
We are still much more then a memory
Just reach out to me
I'm still here, waiting patiently
Beneath your guiding star
Please come find me
Crystal tear drops form an incendecent pool
White feathers from this angel's wings
Floating apon the waves of time
Drifting softly for all eternity
Only together
Love be my poetic imagery

Forgotten
A faint memory of forgotten lore
Tinged with sweetness
Poisoned by thoughtless moments
A history on film
Rolling thought the reels of my mind
Shall I let go of all I've clung so tightly to?
Or regress further into the solitude of the past
Stuck in time
To stay here
Is to be happy
Is to be sad
I'm not here
I can't be
Here no longer exists
Past and Present collide to form an uncertain future
Grinded to a dull powder and mixed with the life giving liquid
To create me
But am I this and nothing more?
I am nothing
Everything
Everything
Nothing at all
...just want something
Just want to be something
To someone...
...don't ever forget me

Rose
A spark
A flame
Fire
Romance
At first there's a spark
A flash of light
Then comes a flame
That burns so bright
The longer the flame
The more destructive it's power
For try as it might
To the winds of time it will cower
And left behind is all the rubble
Ashen broken dreams
And bursted bubbles
Decay and death are all the same
After the wind has come
And stolen the flame
And alone you stand in the emptiness
Left with nothing but this mess
WHen out of the darkness grows
A small white beautiful rose
Which in time will bloom and flower
And show to you love's true power
Never to wander
Never to roam
But to take root in your heart
And call it home

To My Goddess
Goddess of my heart
Hear this cry from within
Lonely and longing
Give me your reply
Goddess in my eyes
Mirror of my soul
Look apon me
Give me your reply
Goddess on my mind
Fullfilling my dreams
Enlighten me
Give me your reply
Goddess steals my time
Consumming the moments
I remain patient, still
Give me your reply
Goddess that's my pain
Heal all my grief
With your angelic voice
Give me your reply
Goddess that's my joy
Let me smile with contempt
With you in my arms
Give me your reply
Goddess you're my love
My life, my destruction
Let this plee reach you
Give me your reply

Rain
Rain drops hit the pavement
In this cold heartless reality
I'll stand alone
In the haze of the rain
Desensitized,my form begins to blur
In darkness now the shadows merge
Letting go, becomming one, my identity lost, forgotten
Shaking, screaming, tears of sorrow plea
What is my meaning?
What purpose do I serve?
My existance lies souly in your eyes
Cold and lonely is this world's end
As the rain comes down I'm dreaming
Embracing pain as I dissapear
From your sight, non-existant
From your mind, in-concievable
Your grip on the future
Nostalgic
Built of past experiences
Distorted reflections
I'll shatter that mirror
To free you from the past
That image broken, you can no longer see
Now where do you stand?
Now what is your meaning?
Now what purpose do you serve?
All existance lies within my eyes

Laughter
Fear shakes the wicked
Forgiveness startles the shamed
Love wakes the lonesome
LAUGHTER RATTLES THE INSAIN
