Little Ditties

The wizard's staff and cloak remain

Though flesh the fires take

Amaze for us such magic spell

Then from this dream we wake



* * *



What will be will be

We'll take that chance

Following in the steps

Of a madman's dance



* * *



In the darkness my eyes still can see

The empty promises you've given to me

Mask your poisons with the dark of the night

But I still feel it and the feeling's not right



Do you think I don't see it do you think I don't know

I feel the danger though I don't let it show

Your betrayal of the trust I had in you

Has let true colors of your black heart show through



* * *



Looking around

Seeing it all

I can't believe



The way things have gone

Turning around

No more to deceive



Listening to

The music that fills the air

Imagine a different beat



It all seems so clear

Like coming out of the

Rain that fiils the street



Now I don't know where I'm going

But I hope it will be with you

For the rest of my life

I love clever little rhymes like these. Your wordage and meter are smooth, light, and easily read. I particulary like the phrase, "madman's dance"... very appropriate for these times.
