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.
