AnnaLeigh Jones Poems

You say you know me.
You think you do.
But you've forgotten;
I know how to lie.
...

I've been living inside your perfect lie
a thousand years too long.
I can't escape, I dont remember
the truth which opens the door.
...

When he is in my audience
My voice will tremble.
If he is among those hearing me,
My bow on the strings will tremble.
...

Oh daddy, let's play hide and seek.
Start counting to ten, but don't peek.
I'll hide under my bed while you and mommy talk a little too loud.
Daddy, please don't find me yet.
...

Up the hill, to the gate of the garden,
Do I silently crawl.
My solitude of secrets and memories,
Vines growing up the wall.
...

Let me hold on to you, my love.
Let me savor this angel, fallen from above.
I am yours wholy, now please by mine.
Let heavan and earth be intwined.
...

If I had not this heavy iron chain
which ties me to a lions open den,
If I had not these tears of breaking pain,
would you, then, carry me home again?
...

I let you lose yourself, my friend,
so you could find the man you lost.
Well, have you found him yet?
Of corse not.
...

If I ever speak no one will understand.
For I speak the language which everyone knows,
but no one remembers.
The words which everyone has heard,
...

You Lie
You have everyone fooled
But I can see the lie
I know your armies of control are disguised
...
