Foolish hearts

When I'm in your presence
It calls to mind remnants, fragments of memories
Of past poets sitting in garrets.
The moon shines so clearly,
The light floods our eyes and any
Reservations are carried away by fireflies.

Your touch is at once tantalizing
While my fears are agonizing
Your response is mesmerizing.

If you were mine I'd believe in the illusion
There's be no hesitation
As I made resolutions
All the lyricists, versifiers, creators before us
Couldn't express all the ways I adore you.

Is there such a thing as possessed and un-damned?
Can you have peaceful mutiny?
Or a passion held steadfastly?

They say we're crazy,
For wanting these lies
How did we materialize them?
What a perfect surprise.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
