Persuasion of the mental kind
Swimming backwards, 'cross the line
He failed the test 'most every time
And lost himself
Conversion of everything real
Losing everything, 'cross the veil
He contemplates it 'round the wheel
And loses himself, again

Pictures of a distant land
Knowing that they're far from hand
Whispering their soft goodbyes
Missing our repeated cries
It's hard to remember exactly when
The stories end and truth begins
But hopefully we'll start to see
A magical country with places to be
Though looking back I can't believe
These mysteries my mind conceived
And if I get back to the dream
Will my heart conceal its seam
However long this fantasy lasts
I'm glad it did, I've had a blast

A moment frozen
Forgotten for now
Remembered tomorrow
But no one knows how
The first sign of weakness
Is not only pain
But also for trying
To constantly gain
In just a few seconds
A whole world could fall
And by forgetting the reason
You’re condemning us all
But can you stop?

Backing up against the wall
Tempting fate to make you fall
Knowing no one, watching all
It's not quite what you want
Pacing forward, along the belt
Hating everything you're dealt
Leaning forward, you almost knelt
It's far from what you know
Stepping to the side for him
Wishing you'd be on the brim
Of the closest cliff, your chances slim
You won't survive the fall

Standing before King
He bowed
Sitting before wife
He loved
Kneeling before God
He wept
Crouching before child
He taught
Falling before death
He caved

Like 'em a bunch, especially the imagery.
Not too big on rhyming myself (admittedly because I generally fail at it), but it works a bunch in these. All in all, great stuff =)

He watched the flowing conversation
He heard the happiness in her eyes
He smelled the sad anticipation
He felt the scent of her disguise
He tasted all these things and more
She watched the conversation flutter
She heard the conflict in his eyes
She smelled the anticipation splutter
She felt the scent of his surprise
She tasted all these things and more
You watched the conversation slowing
You heard the anger in their eyes
You smelled the anticipation growing
You felt the scent of their demise
You tasted all these things and more
I watched as all of you departed
I heard the slamming of car doors
I smelled the tires' burning rubber
I felt the emotions none had shared
I tasted all the pain and anguish
But also the joy that I was finally home

If one dark moment
Lights the way
And every second
Plays away
And every minute
Saves the day
I'll never forget
Your heartfelt sway

When the day breaks within me and there’s nowhere to turn
I will find a new way to get there, I swear
When the night falls upon you and there’s nothing to do
I will show you the light, for this I’ll fight
This is where I diverge, I stand to the side
I bring forth the light so that it is my bride
I divert from the path, I am giving my all
I stand here with meaning, yes, this is my call
