Truth
Then there is another side
Were the truth will often hide
In a dark recess and wait
To play out the hand of fate
Changing lives for good or bad
Making one happy or sad
Either way it's good to know
Whether you should stay or go

Please Stay
I just can't lose you right now
We have to make it somehow
You're my last bright shiny hope
I'm at the end of my rope
My world has fallen apart
Now I'm on a brand new start
And I'm out here on my own
Please don't leave me all alone

Flight
Out the raging fire trapped within
No more mortal human sin
Flesh is not a boundary now
Both here and there somehow
No right or wrong do I belong
No voice to talk or sing a song
Free to soar and roam the sky
Never to land, only to fly

Ushie's Poem #2
I want a man
And you're a boy
I'm a woman
Not some toy
I want a ring
You want a plaything
I know you want me
But I've got needs
That you can't see
Deep down, I'm pure
But you're not sure
That's okay, that's alright
Give me a kiss goodnight

My Valentine
Will you be my valentine?
Cause I'm all yours
And I hope you are mine
No diamonds, no furs
Those are not my gifts to you
But, don't be sad, don't be blue
Everything's been said
Put simply, 'I just love you'
So don't look for red
Look for me instead

Violin Love
Violin whisperer
Taming the wild beast
Sounds unearthly
Majestic notes surround
She closed her eyes
Swept away in a rush
Burst of emotion
Tears flowing
She says "Play me
I want to be your violin
Pluck my strings
Make me sing
Run your bow over me"

Time Will Tell
You do your dance
I take my chance
Am I the one?
Or just for fun
I follow you
Without a clue
Are you for real?
Or will you steal
My heart from me?
I do not see
Easy I know
Or should I go?
You stay and play
I wake and pray
For you to shine
Or are you mine?

Not Over You
All I do is think about you
Every moment that I'm awake
Though I'm glad we're finally through
At times it's more than I can take
Even when my eyes are closed tight
And I'm trying to fall asleep
You haunt my mind most every night
With memories I'm forced to keep

Lamentation
The glorious madness
Amidst all the sadness
Good tidings forsaken
And the darkness prevails
Lost in devils details
Or was I mistaken
Faintest glowing beacon
Enough for the deacon
His work is sanctified
Savior saved discreetly
The wine finished sweetly
No one was gratified

Not Queen
The dark thick night
Covers me up
Can't see a thing
Words, no meaning
Sounds that echo
Yet here's your ring
For when I rise
And greet the sun
I want to sing
And then I pray
For this I know
You need to bring
Something to me
And not for show
You are not king
I am not queen
