Lost in the Fog

[♥/tiyre]

Yes, I'm posting poems from a poetry book I wrote... don't make fun of me!!! Some of them are very odd (tis true) but oh, well. Here we go.

Unnatural Perfection

A young man
Perfection at its best
Standing beside his portrait
They look greatly different

The manfs face reveals nothing
But pride and flawlessness
While his portrait shows
Every crime of his dirty life

Forever in his prime the man
Sits waiting for the perfect time
To control everything
The advantage is his

Aging every year
Marked with evil
The undoing of the man
Is the portrait of his true self

He soul his soul
For this strange excellence
And placed it in his portrait
Scared to become dust

His only fear now
Is his own picture
The immortal
Dorian Gray

Eponinefs Lament^{(as in Eponine from Les Miserables)}

Ifll never be held
In those arms you hold her with
Ifll never know how sweet
Your kisses can be

Ifll never know why
You donft love me
But you love her
And Ifll die in the rain

Perhaps you shall return to me
With your love unbound
Ifll walk with you
When you are with her

Speaking of my sad tale
To a man whofll never know
To a boy who never cared
About my hidden love

Now I know
That love is brittle
My love will never hold you
But still I dance with you till day

And my life will have little meaning
For I have no one like you
Ifll never be her
Never with you

Dance of Confusion

Tattered tails of fraying dreams
Nothing makes sense
Furious flashes of lightning
You donft open your eyes

You know nothing around you
You only know you
No where to stand
While on the edge

Falling back on no one
Drifting slowly downward
Trusting only the hot water
And the sting it holds

Touch it not
It will burn
Touch it
And you will live

Life or death
Black and white
Each weighs the same
In this endless dance

This dance of pure electricity
Of freezing wind
This is the song you dance to
Now dance.

Kageboushi

To be a shadow
To follow
To be forgotten
Silence is too loud

Follow your friends
Who act like youfre not there
When asked a question
Follow their lead

The silence is dark
A pressing force
The stars of sound
Too weak

Youfre fading
Slowly, slowly
Turning into a thing
No longer a person

Enjoy your time
As a person
Because being a thing
Is death

Fighting for a Forever

Always fight
Stand for the right
Stay away from those
Who bring you down

If they catch you
While youfre fatigued
Theyfll be nothing left
But a corpse

Stand in the copse of trees
They will never find you
Surrounded by those
Higher than yourself

But donft pull the
Higher ones down
Have them help
Pull you up

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
I was happy
Once upon a time
You were with me

Once upon a time
Life was delightful
And once upon a time
Smiles played about my lips

But now is this time
And I vividly remember
You running from me
I did not understand

For even admirable people
Cannot comprehend
How their sweetheart
Comes to hate them

Even more surprising
Is when one realizes
They hate you
Back

Dying^{(also based on Eponine's story)}

I lay here
Dying
Thinking of the days
Ifll never know

You cry yet I see
Relief in your eyes
The fight over your heart
Is over

Shefs won
Shefll forever be held
Just hold me now
And care

I finally get to close my eyes
And think tears fall upon me
But you are no longer crying
It is the sweet rain

So leave me now
Ifm gone
Shot with a bullet
Meant to kill you
