Eclipsed Moon

Eclipsed Moon over paradise


The harbored men have our protection,

While the Soldier stand to this day,

Choking the Man never come to speak anymore,

but always inside,

Molding the hearts of every child,

forcing the weak for the price so grand,

encouraging pride with simple greed,

Day to day,

only time is now our friend,

gives us warmth and truth,

even when our chains are bound,

looking toward the shore,


When the Maelstrom is fast and the Inferno's bright,

The Raven waits to see them deprived,

oh so lovely,

With wings wants more of their loyal sacrifice


when the people are kind and the soldiers attack,

the man defends who stabbed his back,

when the sun comes, the vulture will descend the Eclipsed moon over  

paradise,

Eclipsed Moon.

Lost Minds

Your velvet hand
Or is it a lizard on a window pane?
Oh
It's both
I should have known better
Why do I seem to be shoved away?
Why does your shove begin to feel
More and more
Like a beast's each day?
I seem
To be going back down
Down to the place you dragged me from
And you seem to not even care
So can someone pass me a fix?
Cause I'm going down
Down where shattered eyes rule

What hides beneath the skin?
Only shadows
That love to smile at misery
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
The words rule my once
Innocent mind
Why can't I turn back?
Why can't I have you back?
Why do I have to  run from these
Smiling shadows?
I miss those clear eyes
That always made me smile from within
This soot painted heart
I miss those burnished days
When the felicity was like
A pup running in a day
That would last forever

When our minds wonder so far enough to question the truth, they become lost. Things that are wrong and things that are right are woven into the way of someones life. And when the one you love has a dark heart, you learn to crave it regardless. What a great submission by Amanda from USA. :)
