Black Swan

I am captured in this moment

frozen inside out

I wanted to be perfect

not to be choked by endless doubt

I loved you deeply

but you wore it out

You said you loved me

my innocence was pure

but you were always searching

I was not the perfect girl

I was under your spell

I was captured in your world

Will I drag my blade

across this moonlit lake?

No it's my turn, yes it's my turn

I lost my innocence 

and my secrets in this lake

Now my passion burns, yes it does burn

This Swan is white by day

and black by night

I am unaware

of what is wrong or right

I am unaware

of what went wrong

Where is the sweet, sweet girl?

yeah, she is gone.......

I am the Black Swan

gazing at the moon

feeding on your black pearls

I trusted you, no one else but you

I need a deeper love

to break this spell

I need a love to fly

to fly away from hell

Will I drag my blade

across this moonlit lake

No, it\s my turn, yes it's my turn

I lost my innocence

and my secrets in this lake

Now my passion burns, yes it does burn

This Swan is white by day

and black by night

I am unaware

of what is wrong or right

I am unaware 

of what went wrong

Where is that sweet, sweet girl?

yeah, she is gone.....

Where has she gone?............

Weather the Storm

With the dawning of the day

brings the morning dew

I open my wings, I try new things

at times they remind me of you

As with the sun, then comes noon

and white clouds fill the sky

indigo patterns are revealed

my contours, diversify

navigating towards the light

instinct to bolder pettles

yet not to linger on any one

avoiding the stinging nettles

and for an instant, I will graze

 nectars, to merely survive

then bound again, for celestial space

when I'm soaring, I'm alive

Yet when it rains, it often pours

the static can cause you to drown

dodging drops of fear and pain

determined I won't go down

The roar of the thunder won't scare me

and the lightning just leads the way

and when the kamikaze tears fall down

with a mission, come what may

I will survive, yet once again

the fire of life within
'for in the foothills, I seek to hide

from storms that hurry in 

Why do I focus on the moon

when predators lurk in wait?

Attracted to my prideful colors

My patterns make easy bait.

The sun won't let me hide

with no shadows to alter my worth

revealing my truly given colors

since the day of my rebirth

This time is most significant

my growth and transformation

to emerge from a chrysalis

to ascend from degradation

My freedom won't be assumed

 nor a aphid in a jar

a spectacle to be pleasing others

I'm a gentle warrior.........

Monster

How could I be so blind?

I felt protected from the world,

but you were the biggest monster

with a death wish for a little girl.

You fooled no one but me;

a chameleon of black and blue,

with a serpents hypnotic eyes

and its tongue never true.

I was sent to you by God;

an angel straight from heaven.

To give you all my love,

not to be struck by your venom.

Like Eve in the garden,

I trusted you with my soul.

It was the biggest mistake I made;

you turned my heart into coal.

Now I have to live a curse

of the memories alone.

How could you be so cruel?

I loved you and no other one.

I lay awake at night;

I admit it's hard to sleep.

I cry sometimes for hours

for the promises you didn't keep.

You are wicked in your ways

and slither to and fro,

searching for innocent angels,

who are too naive to know.

God alone truly knows why,

He placed the love in my heart,

for you never deserved it;

you only tore it all apart.

But with each passing day,

I let a little more of you go,

it hurts a little less

and the pain doesn't show.

There will be hell to pay,

you've fallen far from grace,

but I won't be the one

who slaps you in the face.

"Vengeance is mine" says the Lord,

so I put it in His hands,

I take delight in knowing

Justice is in Demand!

Mask

Who do you see when you look at this mask?

Do you see past the colors, the facade I portray?

Who will it be, 'for I consist of three?

A face full of innocense? A face full of lust?

A face with faded bruising?

Who do you see? Do you see we three?

The me, myself, and I?

A friend for every occasion,

a friend to everyone?

My reflection creates wonder and fear inside 

If I stare too long I will be lost

I dare not look into my eyes

'for I won't like what I see

the pain of the past, of never being free

Who do you see as I put on this mask?

Do you notice how it's fading

and needing of repair?

or are you captured by it's stylish smile?

Yet all the while

Who do you see?

Do you see me?

Untitled

He is a mystery

an enigma yet discovered

he is a calmness

his silence not recovered

He is solid and yet moves me

his eyes piercing through me

he is power under covers

What makes him still stand alone?

a tower proudly rooted

and why won't he waiver?

when I touched him he refuted

he has power running through his hands

he speaks softly when he gives commands

a Master, a lover, and undisputed

How can a rock be tender?

how can a flame be cold?

why am I at his will to reign

and do what I am told?

He is an island all alone

he is unclaimed and left unknown

his nature predisposed

He preceeds my every thought 

my fantasies now revealed

a cobolt flame, an ember touch

burning through what once was sealed

but his lips will never graze me

and his heart will never save me

I am only left to kneel

Scream

Don`t look into my eyes

That is where my secrets hide

Like the desolate arctic winds abide

Frozen in this moment of time

Deep in the isolation

Unable to look back where I came from

And face the degradation

Do this but don`t do that

Don`t kiss him

And don`t get fat

No one to trust, no one to understand

Who I ought to be

I don`t belong

I want to be loved for who I am

To be accepted, not get lost in the crowd

Yet not the centre of ridicule

To hold up my head and be proud

I shut my eyes where my secrets hide

And play the part you deem

And like the desolate arctic winds

I silently …………scream

POUR DOWN YOUR LOVE

 Free Blogger Templates

Who can fill the deepest rivers of my soul

and quench my desert heart

aquatic sounds surround me

and drench me with your love

when you are near 

the rain pours 

immersing me

nearly drowning in your love

I am am filled

I am loved

my heart erupts with your kiss

electricity surrounding, lightning fills the sky

your touch creates a storm in me

yet comforts me all the while

the confusion is addictive

I crave it all the time

like the most delicate of flowers

you nurture and tend to me

careful to protect and display me

proud of the joy you bring

creating colors so bold

Everyone can see

you are the rain, the storm within my soul

my roots will always seek you

only you can quench this thirst

and if I were to lose you

I would surely                                                 

whither

and die

The Knight

He is a man of valor

a noble one indeed

a man of great caliber

and living by a creed

he travels across the oceans

protecting those around

touching lives of the innocent

his memory resounds

A warrior and a chieftain

overcoming his enemies

he battles on and on

showing great integrity

His heart is always faithful

and passion it does burn

leading to his mistress

awaiting his return

a damsel young and fair

by the window she does wait

praying for her lover

her devotion is innate

she gazes at the moon

for moon they do share

forever hearts united

but only if she stares

alas he returns

met with a warm embrace

a kiss to seal their hearts

his hands upon her face

the maidens knees do quiver

the knight his shield does fall

how does a epic hero

surrender to one so small

a sight to behold

he looks into her eyes

forever now united

forever will abide

Eclipse

Your embrace still lingers on my skin

Your caress remains embedded 

upon my heart

I can still feel you near

Your scent still fills my soul

Your whispers linger in my ear

My tears wet this page

The salt stings my obvious wounds

I won’t let you see my face

but how I am a fool and turn from you loving embrace

Like a flower full of thorns I protect my delicate side

I am ashamed and I cry

You can’t get past my barrier

I won’t look you in the eye

You are the sun and I am the moon

Who is to blame

Like two ships passing in the night

Our timing just not the same

You say I can make you fly

When you’re with me you soar

Love lifting you to heaven

where you’ve never been before

how I love the warming of the suns rays

scattering winters shadows

when spring comes a daunting

I can barely breathe

when you tell me that you love me

it overwhelms my sleeping mind

cause when you touch me

I fall to pieces every time

what am I to do for I am the moon

I alone eclipse in my shame

and you are the sun

the one who deserves acclaim

but when dawn greets us with a kiss

horizons joining our separate worlds

now no longer in just black and white

crimson aurora for you are the day

and velvet cobalt for I am the night
