Under Skin of Lace

by LadyPearl   Aug 28, 2006


What voyage does one take
When falling all awake
Inside my very veins
The core of my disdain
Plunder visions of gold
My endless hope grows old
Steal away innocence
Confine me to silence

Underneath this pale skin
Lies a maleviolent grin
Cheering to the darkness
Unknown to the blindness
On the edge of losing
All truth of believing
That goodness is in me
Or any sign of purity

Under the barren skin
Resentment wait within
Touching relms no one went
Worship would be torment
Alas, the story flees
Not all is as it seems
Behind the skin of lace
Sleeps a merciless face

    Excellent poem. The rhyming was great and it rhymed really well. It's so sad, deep and powerful.
