| Awe & Fear |

I'll never write I'll never know I'll never feel my feelings go I'll never write They'll never flow I'll never feel my heart let go You'll never write You'll never know To you my heart I'll never show He'll never write I'll never know Around in circles we all go We've never stopped We've never asked Hiding behind our chosen masks Caught in the rhythm Of a dance Stepping through it like a trance Archetypal symphonies Clashing personalities Monstrous egos Ways with words Always needing to be heard Screaming screaming shout shout shout How to keep the voices out Fated patterns Ordained paths Will there be an aftermath? Feel the rhythm Of the dance Wrap you up and steal your chance Peace is sorrow Words are wounds Soon you'll find it's out of tune Feel the pulsing Of the song Is it right? Has it gone wrong? Questions answers Soft decrees Varying only in degree Muttered curses Gauntlets thrown Why can't I find the way back home? Writing: pure necessity Poisoned is my poetry Twice removed is twice betrayed I the villain or he the knave? Silence in the dead of night Shattered feelings die in fright Stillborn love, twisted hate Neither willing to abate Caught within a web of lies All night crying out my eyes What is beauty? What is truth? There's never any concrete proof Close my eyes and hear their names Casey: silent Aaron: games One cruelty in human form The other pain which can't be borne Playing out my misery Warping with my imagery Human problems, god-like cast Whispered warnings from the past Poems without apparent end Emails which I dare not send Final movement drawing near Is it awe... ...or is it fear? |
