Mask of Illusion

Can eyes truly see and witness the real me that gain fake smiles of lies?
Eyes to behold behind these masks of fantasy to see how cast I am,
far from the sight of reality.
But you only notice me as I walk in illusory 
within the blindness of the eyes of reality, a perception that grows within me. 
Only eyes of heart can truly see and shatter illusions of me that even a beholder 
couldnt feel for a mask he only sees.

I breathe as to conjure up faces of chimera, 
persons live in disguise that deludes reality that you saw and mistook as me. 
They are Illusion and pretense that grows and roots within your mind that blinds you and 
reality. 
The ones you deem and think as real that ended and hidden me in the blackness of 
loneliness. 
Believe not for my life will be sealed in emptiness and lose my trust in me. 
Oh! See how Im veiled on the outside wearing someones face but a lonely man waiting 
someones touch to be free. 
People could not see the real me for I sealed myself to masks and a make believe of me 
only to throw the frighteners that scares me.

Feel how I mimic their voices and follow their ways and deceive you and reality. 
Im doing these masks of lies to gain the persons that you sought and needed to be. 
Like a Shape-shifter that I am that changes form from time to time only to be a man and 
true for you. 
Concealed being like this that my magics taken its effects in you, illusions you think 
as me that entangled your eyes of mind.

See how afraid like a child I am behind the smiles and laughter thats only been shrouded 
with pretenses to be strong as you think. 
A shivering child that I am is waiting behind the nimbus of lies that I formed as you 
see and believe as me. 
Do break my mask with kind hands and tear the veins of deceit that wrapped and drained 
my soul that made me lose my trust in humanity. 
Im waiting inside of me, deep in darkness and shadows for I cannot undo this mask of 
lies for Im in its death grip and tainted me.

Alone Again

Here I am alone again
In the fields of people so new to me
Who they are I don’t know
For their faces are strangers to me

Here I am alone again
Walking in streets where people go by
Where to go I do not know
For I’m walking with nowhere to go

Here I am alone again
In a place where happy people go
Am I happy? I don’t know 
For all I see are smiles without faces

Here I am alone again
Watching a place where enjoyment is
Why I’m not there I do know
For I may bring loneliness to them

Here I am alone again
No open doors for you to go in
No reasons that I may give
Loneliness is I for I’m alone

Sad Goodbye

It was early morn when my arms still around her chest
Couldn’t let go for I know I’ll be gone at eight or less
We sat on a bench I felt her embrace with might
We stayed like this arms in arms talked about days gone right

I’ve asked a porter to take a picture of us
So if grief builds I’ll just look the picture of us
Time is near but she said stay so I stayed for a time
I’ve wished for that moment slowed and time to be mine

But it never did, never was

We were like couples and lovers but never be
We are friends but more than a couple or lovers
We love each other but couldn’t be lovers
For we are best of friends and this is a Goodbye

I look at her thought how to live without her shine
A Tear fell from me she notice and tears filled her too
I wiped her tears and hug her “I’m going” I said
She hug me even tighter “I’ll miss you” she said

With a kiss in the lips, in tears I’ve walked away
I didn’t looked back for my heart wanted to stay
The plane took off and grief of sorrow filled my soul
Though I’ve dried my tears my heart will forever cry

Shadows of You

Dark it was when my eyes fell upon you
For how can I love such temptress like you?
Shadows of you I bear in my heart
And voices of you echoing inside

Get away! Get away! 

Oh! How I ran from the gaze of you
Only to find myself knelling to you
To touch, to feel you, the curve, the shape
But I can’t I won’t for sorrows you bring

Get away! Get away!

Break this chain of thorns and let me go
So memories of you be gone in past
For this quite little child is crying
Ensnared in a little trap you called love

Get away! Get away! Shadows of you.
