FACES

Eyes.

Expressions.

Feelings.

Faces.

Which is the true one?

DARE TO DREAM

DARE TO DREAM

I stare into the night.
I gaze at the unknown.
I dare to dream of flight
Before the time has flown.

When the night comes softly
On feet as light as air,
I can see more clearly
Of what I can dare.

Alone on this hilltop
With the freezing wind and cold,
I will race without stop
To places, I can be bold.

Darkness hides secrets and lies
Beneath its cloak of despair.
Secrets that severs all ties
Until the sun rises clear.

A HOUSE OF ICE

A house of ice

is temporary.

Once the sun shines,

its bricks melt.

Similar to a house of lies.

Once the lies are uncovered,

the structure collapses.

An unstable foundation

isn’t built to last.

THE MIND’S EYE

The mind’s eye.

Portals to our souls.

Our words can hide our lies,

but our eyes can’t.

A WEB

A WEB

Each day we spin a web.
A web of lies.
White lies.
Fake smiles.
Untrue feelings.
Keep spinning.
Until it ties you up
Into one tight knot.

UNMASKED

UNMASKED

Show me your face.
Reveal your true colors.
Take off your mask.
What lies underneath?

Without your arrogant facade.
Your roguish manner.
Your flirty ways.
What lies underneath?

Walk to me
As yourself
Without lies.
What lies underneath?

Let the mask fall to the ground.
Let it break.
Shatter to pieces.
I see what lies underneath.

FLUSH OF PINK

mana-chan

… the inner gauge is rising to its peak …

Anger raises its head

as I thrash in my bed.

The hot flush of pink is flowing.

To my brow, it isn’t slowing.

I remember his aqua eyes

as he retold his many lies.

I watched the grim line of his frown

as he turned my world upside down.

I won’t let him ruin my night.

I need him out of my sight.

No more meetings in the dark

beneath the elm in the park.

No more whispers as we walk.

I know the town loves to talk.

I say goodbye to my fickle love

as the moon bows its head above.

THE WEB

Each day we spin a web.
A web of lies.
White lies.
Deadly lies.
Fake smiles.
Untrue feelings.
Keep spinning.
Until it ties you up
Into one tight knot.

HEARTACHE FOR ME

Heartache is for me.
My heart yearns for thee.

Lies fall so easily from your lips.
They feel salty on my fingertips.

I must remain strong.
I hope I am wrong.

I need proof to trust you once more.
My heart is breaking at its core.

The salty mist soothes me.
The wind caresses me.

But I feel cold deep inside.
I need a safe place to hide.

AN OASIS FOR ME

An oasis for me

Under a purple tree.

Leaves fan my tired face

Far from the human race.

The view takes me away

Where the happy can play.

I close my heavy eyes

To shut out mankind’s lies.

UNMASKED

UNMASKED

Show me your face.
Reveal yourself.
Take off your mask.
What lies underneath?

Without your arrogant facade.
Your roguish manner.
Your flirty ways.
What lies underneath?

Walk to me.
As yourself.
Without lies.
So I can see what lies underneath.

Let the mask fall to the ground.
Let it break.
Shatter to pieces.
I can now see what lies underneath.

KEEP SPINNING

Each day we spin a web.

A web of lies.

White lies.

Deadly lies.

Fake smiles.

Untrue feelings.

Keep spinning.

Until it ties you up

Into one tight knot.

A HOUSE OF CARDS

A house of ice.

So very nice.

But it’s still unstable.

Like a shaky table.

Once the sun shows its hot face.

The house is a melted place.

Such can be a  house built on lies.

Useful as a horse catching flies. 

Once the lies are unsealed.

House of cards is revealed.

A house’s foundation must ring true.

It must be built to be strong & true.

IDEAS THAT KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT

STAND ALONE

Humans tend to stick together

to form groups and cliques.

But what about those

who stand alone?

Who want to be different?

Who don’t want to be

part of a pack?

They stand alone.

They stand apart.

They become leaders.

NATURE’S WILL BE DONE

We fight nature’s will.

Ride its mighty waves.

Dig up its natural resources.

Cut down its plentiful trees.

Pollute its clear waters.

But will we ever have control?

Make it bow to our will.

Never.

Nature can never be tamed.

It will remain strong.

Long after we’re gone.

TICK TOCK

I see around the bend.

Life is about to end.

They might hide behind rocks.

But I know the clock tick tocks.

I don’t want it to be.

It’s the last day for me.

BLUE DEPTHS

BLUE DEPTHS

Falling to the deep.

I cannot find sleep.

I thrash in the cold.

In the devil’s hold.

Water covers my face.

A dark and creepy place.

I struggle for air.

Current takes my hair.

I’m drowning in my bed.

It is all in my head.

ALIVE

ALIVE

Our minds can soar

to the heavens above.

They can reach new heights

like the flight of a dove.

Imagination keeps us fresh.

Keeps our minds alive.

Don’t live your life

to barely survive.

Dream of fresh ideas.

New places to explore.

Ways to expand your knowledge.

Until you reach for more.

PERSEVERANCE

Our life takes its toll.

Our hope keeps us whole.

We persevere through pain.

But it’s not all in vain.

We hold our heads up high.

Continue with a sigh.

The flower fights winter cold.

And if I might be so bold.

We can fight our ills too.

Hold on to our hope too.
