"What I'm Looking at is Only a Shell. What is Most Important is Invisible"

A shattered mirror
A broken heart
The taunting
The teasing
She'd had enough
She wanted it to end
Have someone love her
Say she was beautiful
She knew deep down she was
Or was she
The names rang through her head
And down to her heart
Worthless
Ugly
She crouched down
Picked up a mirror fragment
Looked at her reflection one last time
Winced
Laid the fragment among the others
Curled up into a ball
And wept

Were all the same
Blinded by love
We fall for pretty strangers
Those sly American princes
And the promises they hold
They say they can sing a love song
Like the way it was meant to be
The reality
They can’t do anything
Let alone truly love you
Don’t let your dreams fool you
They aren’t what they used to be
Just let the current take you
Down to where love has a chance

Rock'a My Soul

the beating of the drums
the blaring of guitar
that forms this upbeat rhythm
i can feel it in my soul
as i close my eyes
and listen
tuning out the world

Check Mate

you make the first move
symbolically making you
virtuous white
what will be the outcome
play the game
and you'll find out

You tell me
To be understanding
Forgiving
Merciful
To forget about the past
Move on
Show gratitude
And love the other

You have a lot of rules
For someone who doesn't play by them

I Will

Hold me close and tell me what you honestly feel
Darling
Tell me this is all true

Whisper words of love gentle and sincere
Darling
When your close

Say those words I ache to hear
Darling
I love you

Hold me close
Let me feel your beating heart
Drum those words
Right into mine

Darling
I will

Was a golden November
From the heavens I remember
There were leaves
Golden leaves

Clearly I remember
From the windows I was watching
While they fell to ground
In the glowing
Rays of the sun

While the future holds a promise
Of sweet lullabies and kisses
You disregard it

If you love me
Won't you let me know

I don't want to be a captain
Of some sinking ship
With the leaves far below us
Where I'm slipping from your memory

Like the golden leaves of November
That fall
Fall
Fall
I'll be falling from your memory
But bury me in honor
If you love me
Why'd you let me go
