Black Mask
Black mask, falling in waves
Hides the windows to the soul
Satin sheet like waterfall
Yet wild, and out of control
At times like dark wire
Sharp whip, bringing pain
Hides away the truth so that
The glint is shown plain
Framing and blocking dark spark
Which shows what lies inside
What almost is an empty shell
That dark emotions like to ride
Both passion and pain reside within
The soulful gleam that it covers
Both together fill and fight
And are entwined like lovers
All within the beast’s heart
Who hides beneath the black curtain
Which way the creature’s path is set
Nothing is yet certain
To perish with a soul so black
May yet be her fate
Though for a peaceful reckoning
It may not be too late
Pain’s Tears
Dark line against glowing bronze
Leaks streaming lines of crimson red
Green and gold eyes look upon
The result of the life they’ve led
Watches as life’s’ precious nectar
Slowly makes its downward way
Traveling across the warm bronze
Caressing the flesh where it lay
The shining light within the eyes
Slowly fades into the dark
While trailing streams of red dry
Leaving only red-brown marks
As glowing bronze loses its gleam
And its warmth fades away
Because the light that fills this being
No longer can it stay
