Innocent seeming, darkness of being
A poem inspired by...something. I would appreciate any and all feedback so please review if you read this. It's all that I ask, really. This poem was previously published on it's own, however I'm going to be grouping my poems from now on by the characters or themes mentioned in the poem. So, expect to see more Bakura/Ryou poems in this collection.
Sincerely,
Singer, La Chanteuse
Innocent seeming, darkness of being
Innocent eyes look out on the world
And innocence they do see
But innocent eyes
Are just a disguise
And not reality
Darkness lurks beneath the guise
Of one who looks young,
Innocent seeming
Hides darkness of being
From which you now must run.
Darkness that one must hide from the world
For as evil it would be seen
Innocence perceived
And lies they believed
Who knows what might have been?
If darkness could walk free in the light
And could, as innocence, be known
No more confusion
No more delusion
Then the world we would own.
But Darkness is feared and cannot be known
By most peoples of this race
So we'll keep our guise
Of our innocent eyes
Until we find our time, our place.
