Fools talk of love
They cry of injustice
They speak of broken hearts
Bleeding from the inside

They say you’re the one
No one else can be
So blind
So deaf to the soul

Just words
No verse can recollect
Nor mind can comprehend
Love

Love is what love is
There is no amount of time
No intellect wise
Or fool simple enough

To tell you this
Love is…

I have my love…
Those days are naught but dreams
Faded from heart and mind
Lost, never again to be

Your eyes have gone
I can no longer feel your soul
The night has taken my rest
I lie here now, shivering alone

I ask you why
Why must I be here alone?
Why am I not there
Holding that gentle hand?

I tell you now
Thou hast lost thy dreams
I have lost my hopes
For now we float away

Carried again by false memories
Carried once more in sorrowed times.

The smile, that laugh, her eyes
It pains me so
Not a deep tear, but yet I feel it
It takes me there
Beside her I feel alive
Awakened from an eon slumber
Not love I cry
Staring across the times
That day is done
That ship sunk so long ago
My friend
Don’t you see?
My past is not a simple stain
It tears me there
Inside the heart that was
It pulls me
Carries me upon false winds
Drops me on my knees
Breaking my last
Talk to me
Tell me it’s ok
Tell me that I can go
That I can leave…
You know I’d hate to
Yet I must
To save that which could have been
I must let what will….
Be.

The night falls like rose petals upon the face of time
Each second passes in silence
Waiting for the next to takes its place
I hear music playing softly
Sailing across the meadow
Each wave carries a great sorrow
Each note a tear upon my heart

Leaves fall like amber dew, trees stand aflame in color
Autumn, a season of change
Time for me to leave
To pass away like so many years
To find a different path to take
Each second draws closer
The day is here

The day is here
I ponder upon those words
As my hands cross the infinite span
Conjuring up words and seasons
Images of love and fate
My words enchant the broken heart
Lifting the war torn soul

My soul is lost now
It has strayed from paths once there
Etched upon my hands are the words
“Here lies my scarlet life,
Here lies the sacred touch.”
Look now how they burn
Now black with ash

It pains my love to see the night
That darkened soul of mine in pain
It writhes in agony
Awakening the silent watcher
He stares in quiet suffering
Awaiting the end of all
The knife falls…

I look into her eyes
The sweet serenity
Of moonlit waters
As waves of sorrow fall
Like rain drops
Upon a withered land
The azure skies
I see inside them
Stretch across the horizons
Shining brightly
In the starlit night
Her smile shines
With the glow of Evenstar
So precious
So sweet
Her voice calls to me
In the distance
It beckons me
Reminding me of times past
While threads of music
Carried upon the wind
Find a place
In my heart.

From the shadows of my heart
She calls
Her voice flows
Like an ethereal river
Running through my mind
Like morning dew
Her eyes shine
In a glorious sunset
Of auburn and crimson
Her smile
Captivates all
Her laugh is most precious
Like breath of life
It leads me to other worlds
Where love at last is found
Time passes between us
As seconds fall short
And words are left unspoken
A single rose
Lying on the ground
Fades
As I walk away
I look back and ponder
Should I leave…?
I ask myself
Always..

Ask the lips
What words I’ve whispered
Ask the hands
How long I’ve held you
Ask the fingers
How they long to embrace yours
Ask the feet
How far they have walked for you
Ask again
How much further
Ask the mind
How much you are there
Ask the heart
How much you own
Then listen
Listen for the soul
Whispering to yours
That sweet answer.

What use for summer dreams
While wading through the snow?
What use for time
In a place of silence?

My love….
I feel as if every dream
Each hope I carried then
Is nothing now this day
This night of endless rest

I sleep to dull the noise
I wake to hear the rain
That quiet downpour
Sweet, Sorrowful, descent

Such beauty caught in sadness
My heart, my life, my all.

Amber sunlight gleams off azure skies
As sweet winds whisper songs
Melodies of life heard
Carried upon the breeze
Each tune rustles
Scattered among the leaves
Sunlight fades
As distant light dims
Time passes by like a cold winter breeze
So cold
So unfeeling
Seconds pass as dusk fades into night
The shadows of yesterday
Arise anew
Bringing with them remembrance
Memories lost in the wake of time
Only to pass away
Once more.

My love…
Today my winter dream
Has fallen like the snow
With frigid depths and icy stream
Denying all I know

Night draws ever late
Across star filled skies
Chasing softly after fate
Revealing all your lies

My knight my love my song
Melody of life
Tune of ancient sorrow
Symphony of strife

This I close before tonight
As night fades into light.
