In mask, I know thee not
Such vile words off tongue does drip
In hands my ears I swathe
Guarding this my conscious unto despair
...
In the garments and scuffs of paint on the floor
In the sections and imperfections of neatly laid tile
In the wood grain planks of our moral fiber
I see faces
...
And you turned towards me
My heart taken by surprise
Piercing voids of darkness
With your winter eyes
...
I look to the heavens and say what if
As our minds together drift
Beaming dreams our hearts take flight
Ignited your aura comes to life
...
Tell me darling where are you?
Are you here… in my aching heart?
Are you here… in my divagated mind?
Are you trailing far behind?
...
Plucked
From the vine of destiny
Kissed by the glorious sun
Majestic mountain to river valley
...
Your beauty is...
like a ray of sun
And I am,
just a gazania
...
I lost my inspiration for love in rhyme
And yet, I find love in foreboding time
In the darkness, deep inside the keep
Of the dreams where happiness does sleep
...
I am overcome with a
sadness that I have not
lived my days of youth
to their fullest, and
...
When you say
I love you
with your insincerity
It breaks my heart
...
