The shadows sing songs of sweet serenade Weaving in and out of time Looking in upon my clouded eyes And when so much is at stake, how many lies can I tell? how many smiles can I fake? My heart betrays me, beating and screaming its will Even in silence the cries ring out Haunting with its repetative tears, frozen upon the cheeks of my face As I look up into the night sky, the moonlight piercing deep into my eyes Reading the plea inside them, the silent prayer that pride kept captive and fear taunted with sticks and stones And oh, how it grows... "The dark weight of the hour humming madly filling my head with blood and sorrow and dread the executioner's song." -Jewel "The Dark Bells" ~*Angel of Darkness*~ |

And when so much is at stake, how many lies can I tell? how many smiles can I fake? My heart betrays me, beating and screaming its will Even in silence the cries ring out ------------- As I look up into the night sky, the moonlight piercing deep into my eyes Reading the plea inside them, the silent prayer that pride kept captive and fear taunted with sticks and stones ------------- DE...this is SO great...so well written and expressed..perfect title too loved the depth in this. take care,jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

"Even in silence the cries ring out Haunting with its repetative tears, frozen upon the cheeks of my face" This poem is breathtaking! The depth of this piece is amazing...and the feelings you portray hit home as your imagery reaches out and grabs me! Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

i really love the way you've put your heart out on the page...the best poetry is what spills directly from our hearts and souls out onto the page without the manipulation of the mind...such anguish and fear...beautifully written... 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my heart.' ~Robert Fulghum |

The shadows sing songs of sweet serenade Weaving in and out of time Looking in upon my clouded eyes And when so much is at stake, how many lies can I tell? how many smiles can I fake? ***************************** Yes, how many smiles can we fake? To many smiling faces lie. And why? Maby because it`s so much easier than crying. As John Lennon said; "Nobody loves you when you`re down and out, everybody loves you when you`re six foot in the ground". And isn`t it true? |

My reason? Because I don't want them to know. I've been there before...and we fought everyday...I had to take pills that didn't work...complain every wednesday to a psychiatrist that charged too much...and constantly watched by people to make sure I didn't throw myself down the stairs or something. I won't ever let that happen again. I don't trust people with my heart...I've become far too independent for that. But I do see your point. Thank you both very much for replying.  Yours truly, Angel "The dark weight of the hour humming madly filling my head with blood and sorrow and dread the executioner's song." -Jewel "The Dark Bells" ~*Angel of Darkness*~ |

"Even in silence the cries ring out Haunting with its repetative tears, frozen upon the cheeks of my face" great poem... I hope you feel better...soon! If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |
