A heart so troubled and in doubt
Not sure, what life is all about
She feels invisible yet she sees herself
When she looks into the mirror

People tend to pass her by
Refused the lips of any guy
She soothes herself by wishful thoughts
When she dreams all by herself

She speaks of love and passion
In such an ordinary fashion
As if, she has encountered
The love of another

Massive pain, at times, paralyses
A body of rejection, only she realizes
She dances solo once again
To a song that only, she can hear

Her body parched, a thirst for affection
Her painful heart, desires protection
If only she can be embraced
By the hands of someone else

Its only her hands that she finds familiar
Its only her own eyes that can see her
She longs the company of anything other,
Than the fantasies inside her mind

If Life Was Made on Canvas

Captured By an Unforeseen Kiss


A failing heart -
Revived and awakened
A covenant to shield,
Vanished upon opportunity
A rescue desired, but withheld
Afraid of being hurt again

A quiescent spirit in tranquil pose
Bordered to escape enemy lines
Now captured by an unforeseen kiss
Forcibly delivering her birth

Sold on a script she has never observed
A character of man- only one fantasized
He offered an entrée, one never encounters
A taste so rich, one cannot afford

Yet-she was chosen, like fruit upon tree
With a body so ripened- kept well on reserve
Owned by someone she never thought possible
A notion that the two both shared...
