Silence: A Respite

I could tell you stories of power
When we quested for Glory and Gold
The battles for virtue and honor
Ideals we tried to hold
Now the land has gone quiet
The Dragon no longer roars
We battle to live our lives daily
Dreaming of what we once were
It takes time to recover from sorrow
And pleasure to cure you from pain
When we continue on with our story
Remember our favor and fame

Masque

Fake smiles on put upon faces

No genuine laughs to lighten the day

Nary a hope of knowing what one’s place is

Only the masque, a mere children’s play

We cavort and politic, Sell our secrets for fame

Keeping the bigger ones close to our chest

Legions of fans screaming a name

Never willing to take five minutes rest

When one of them falls another will rise

A sad state of affairs, a hard thing to see

A short focus on the cause of demise

Never willing to place the blame where it should be

We worship too hard and plot our way

But sometimes it’s taken way too far

There’s a line that’s crossed, very easy to stray

To be near the rising star

Leave them time for their lives, it will be good

Their work will gain for it too

Think if it was your life you know you would

Dislike being stalked, True?

Somehow the rhyme scheme got away from me here.  The sentiment is there though.

Wishing

Wishing

Never wanting, always wishing

There will come a day

When there will be nothing left to say

The heart only has so much blood

And can only break so many times

So if there was ever a way

Time could be written for me

Today the last chance to flee

Before the world comes crashing down

Until there is no cure

There is only so much you can do

It’s not your problem to solve

There’s no reason to get involved

Strangers make the best of friends

As long as no one ever cares

Beg, Borrow, or Steal our way

To money, fortune and fame

Anything we can do to further our names

As long as we promote our cause

If we get our fifteen minutes

I’ll leave the fame, thank you very much

I’m content to just be me

I just wish everyone could see

What I was wishing for

I could never buy in any store

Because no one sells replacement hearts
