Some of my poems:
Look Past This Mask Of Lies
See this silly facade that you hold,
It tells of battles fought and stories told.
Perhaps, perhaps, your battles still need fighting,
Your stories cry for their deserved writing.
Why do you cage yourself so?
To always find yourself this low?
There must be something that you're hiding,
Protecting something, but you're not deciding.
Never, never, was the decision yours,
The open wounds and bleeding sores.
They came from foes a long time back,
Who stole your life, with their hearts so black.
Is revenge what you truly crave?
Or is it a chance to draw this glaive,
From 'neath thy breast, allowing time to heal,
All you really want right now is a chance to feel.
Look past this mask of lies,
Where the soul behind it cries.
Look past this web of deceit,
Such an intricately crafted feat.
Look past this mask of lies,
Before this poor creature gives up and dies.
Cages
Why did you build all these barbed wire fences?
Were they for keeping me out or keeping you in?
You lured me away with your false pretenses,
You trapped me in your lonely life of sin.
Perfect Love and Perfect Trust
With perfect love,
And perfect trust,
We stand together,
Because we must.
I'd rather, rather,
Stand with you,
For the simple reason:
I wanted to.
With perfect love,
And perfect trust,
We strive so hard,
To be pure and just
Many vast is,
Our circle round.
We sing together,
A lovely sound.
With perfect love,
And perfect trust,
Our faith is strong,
It will not rust.
To each voice,
Its own tune,
Sung together,
And with the Moon.
With perfect love,
And perfect trust,
We'll stand together,
'Til we're dust.
Peaches and Dreams
Bit by bit you've taken over me,
Until you're all that's left to see.
How can I say I'm free,
If there's nothing left to be?
Still I fought to be my own,
But you wouldn't leave alone,
Now my heart has turned to stone,
And I am but a drone.
How could you throw away,
What was always here to stay?
You couldn't keep at bay,
Like a warrior in the fray...
Now there's nothing left to live,
Your lies have made me negative,
I can't help you're persuasive,
I was never yours to give...
I was always yours to take,
The one thing that wasn't fake,
Perhaps what we need is to remake,
Our world that's a mistake...
I can tell the truth to you,
If you can tell it to me, too.
One last chance to prove I'm true,
Before my ship is gone from view.
Speaking Without Words
Every little step you take,
Makes my heart start to shake.
Every time you look at me,
I can tell I'm all you see.
So why, oh why, did you leave this way,
Leaving my heart with so much to say?
You knew I would have told you,
If you had only seen it through.
Now my my heart is burning,
So much room for yearning,
When you're not here,
I lose myself to fear.
A fear so strong, it makes me weep,
In the darkest hours, I cannot sleep.
I know that you would calm me, were you there,
But you're off doing who knows what, in who knows where.
I want to tell you, so very much,
How I want to see you, feel your touch.
You wouldn't let me say it then,
It's harder, even, to try again.
But for you, I would have kept the sky in a ball,
Just to show you that what I feel for you, ain't small at all.
I'd keep the stars in a dish,
And ask them for my biggest wish.
What you wouldn't let me say to you,
I'm going to say right now:
I love you, Inara Serra, I know you love me too.
And if you'd let me show you, I'd prove to you just how.
Secrets
I'm so tired that I can't sleep,
Running from fears that I can't see.
I tried, bur failed at counting sheep.
Oh, someone please set me free,
Free from secrets that I can't keep.
