I write a lot....it is my release for all the demons pent up inside of me.

Here's a sampling....there will be more to come.

The Mask

It's cold in the world
when you reach out
to grasp the fleeting of
what never was there.

It's hard all alone as
you stand in the crowd
and the mask
is the smile that you wear.

[tecoyah]

Nice......glad to see you in here, a welcome addition to the fold

More please?

[Minx]

Thank you!



Heaven's sister shining down
you always wink at me,
yet when I ask your secrets
you never set them free.
With all the eras you have seen,
the wishes asked of you;
how can I ask you to smile down
and grant a love that's true.
Another cruel sibling just
like the moon and like the sun,
teasing me with sultry dreams
just for your ageless fun.

[tecoyah]

My God......its full of stars........

I have a feeling you will be quite popular here....

[Minx]

Thank you very much for the support. I do appreciate it.


Once again darkness surrounds me
as the ghosts roam down the
hallways of my heart.
With closed eyes I see it all,
relive the fear that lives inside.
Why do I listen to the voice
that has nothing kind to say,
whose lies settle on my soul
bringing tears forth one more day.
I tell myself its not forever,
that happiness will find its way to me.
Sometimes it's hard to see it coming
as all alone I go my way.

[Minx]

Waiting, oh so quietly,
is the love I hold within.
Sleeping, oh so lonely,
missing love's elusive twin.

Haunting is the melody,
the humming of the heart.
Seeking, always searching,
for that missing part.

A ray, a light, a beacon;
my need of late is great.
My only fear I realized all
yet still I was too late.

[Minx]

Endless, always longing,
my soul still cries aloud.
Yet faith and love
shall soothe my heart
unto the bitter end.
Hoping, praying softly,
eternity's ache too long.
I set my spirit upwards
with the wish
my heart to mend.
Sunshine follows rainbows
but first must come the rain.
And to that end
I free myself to heal
from love's cruel pain.

[tecoyah]

Sunshine follows rainbows
but first must come the rain.
And to that end
I free myself to heal
from love's cruel pain.


Wicked......this I like much.

[torgone]

God, how I've missed your writing, Minx. I'm so glad you're back!

[Minx]

Thank you...it is good indeed to be back.

[Minx]

Another old one but it is one that I like,

Take my heart, cast it aside
love brings it back to me.
Toss my faith from the mountain top
the wind makes sure it's free.
Dash my hopes from the steepest peak
a rainbow paves the way.
Cast my spirits to the depths
to face a brand new day.

[J.R.V.A.]

Nice......Thanks

'The Mask' seems like the only 'final version' poem, and it's easily my favourite of this thread. I'd like to read some poems of yours that deal with different themes. You do say it's a release for your demons, so i hope i'm not being too critical if you're writing for yourself, but nevertheless, i mean it in an encouraging way!
