Disguise

The water takes my breath as I enter the sea
I dive into the depths to forget about me

Plunging to the bottom the water so cold
Gaining in speed to release the ground's hold

Memories that crashed like the ship on the ocean floor
Into my mind they open the secret locked door

Selfish and angry ever striving to be alone
Swimming through a shipwreck now I am home

Never is it lost the reason I am here
Always within me the image ever clear

I hear my heart pounding when will it cease?
I know it is broken and in need of release

But still it beats on pumping the flow
Of my life's waters to the folly of my foes

Here I keep it all beneath water's fiersome waves
Here in the murky sand out of the light of the day

The taste of the water like tears from my eyes
When I walk upon the earth in my brilliant disguise
~Raven Blues

Free

Tainted imagery fills her mind
the appearance of you refracted through her fantasies

A ring of light bends around you
holding your feet firmly to the ground

Through the blinding binding aura your eyes sparkle brighter
providing a looked window to your soul

An icy blue chill runs up her spine
the pain so cold it traps her tears

A quest begins at the break of dawn
to search for the key of freedom

The trumpet blares and the hunt commences
a lone warrior charges to face the fray

Day after day the mission continues
confined to the never-ending maze of deceit

The labyrinth misguides and confuses
as the game of strategy misplaces your affections

But each evening as the soldier removes the armor
She dreams....

Alone you stand in the darkness of her dreams
finally free.
~Raven Blues
