Falling in the night
I feel the rain
Lightly resting
Upon the window of my life
Drumming a melody of time
As seconds drift
Into midnight hours
As the threads of sleep are pulled away
They elude my grasp
My mind awake
As the rest of the world lies
Serenely dreaming
Of the morrow
That meets my restless eyes

We are so distanced
Not only by miles but by ideas
We live separately in worlds apart
My life alive with words
Where thoughts float on gentle breeze
Carrying my dreams
Guiding my pen
Straying across the great distance
Telling of deep sorrows
Of unrequited love
Broken hearts
Loss.
Each pain carved
Forever preserved
As the ink dries

Each moment I write
Each thought that strays
Following my heart
Reason defied by ardent care
Each memory twisting
Clawing its way into my conscious
Her cool eyes
Like sapphire raindrops
Burn into my mind
Each note of her melody sustained
Held forevermore
A symphony plays my sorrow
Falling short….
Until you can hear
The silence of my soul.

Falling softly on her shoulders
Each ray illuminating her pale figure
Each second that passes
She drifts away
Carried away by bitter winds
Eternally separated
Staring across the distance
Our hands outstretched
Striving to be closer
Our fingers intertwine
As we dance in the night
Only to find ourselves apart
Forevermore

My love…
Where have you gone?
I spend every night waiting
Sleep eludes the restless heart.
Tell me fair maiden
What dreams will come?
What illusions of time?
When will I rest once more?
I ask of thee my love
Why do you stay silent
While I cry into the storm
Lamenting your loss, I scream
Tell me my dear friend
Where have you gone?
Where are you my love?
Hast thou forgotten those words
Spoken in summer winds
Of peace, love and eternity?
Tell me my love, have you?

My love…
What can I say?
Time has left me here
Waiting
Searching for the life
The light we shared
That day so long ago
Your smile, so soft
Never wavering
Your eyes, so dark
That night
Sunset upon the valley below
Gentle breeze and autumn leaves
Moonlit memories drifting away
My love…
Where have you gone?

Autumn fades into winter’s chill
As I sit waiting in the night
Clouds obscure sight of stars
Of heaven’s sweet light

The dark cold breeze doth blow
It’s frigid frosty howl
Life’s passing in silent recollection
Warm summer’s memories

As leaves fall
To a seasonal death
Each second falls
Like rain upon times face

Each hour passes in cold thought
The warmth has left my fingers
My hand freezes in mid sentence
Of what I meant to say

The sun hangs silent
Summer winds doth blow
The sweet night doth fall
Shattering the day

Silver moon, soft sky
Ethereal sight so fair
The dusk falling on endless sea
Bringing autumn feel

That leaf that doth descend
Fluttering in open wake
Of touch and simple gaze
That touch so often lost

That gaze so often found
Memories, yes memories
Are all that’s left of thee
I fall

I fall in open summer skies
Freeze in winter’s chill
Send me there away
That autumn fall, still

I see you standing there
Almost, just almost here
Take me back my sorrow
Leave me alone I fear

Till night doth fall again.

That faithful day of yesteryear
That fell upon my mind
I look unto the stars for rest
The sleep cast about in subtle dreams

That night, that dream
Was it real?
Sight so fair so still
I ponder on that day

Her eyes so cool
In it’s gaze my heart
Lying still in time
Falling yet again

I toss and turn that single place
That lies inside the past
That simple meet of future loss
Of life and endless dream

Brings back to me my eventide
With which my heart doth sing.

I’ve said hello
I’ve been a friend
I’ve offered you my heart
My love for you unwavering
Your friendship a blessing
A gift from the Gods
You, my very own angel
One who descended from realms on high
The one so perfect to me
So perfect that I had not a chance
So now
What do I do?
Should I walk away?
And leave you in the past?
Or should I stay?
See how much longer this torment will last.
For make a decision I must
So?, Should I walk away?
Or stay with you?
I choose…

Fear, that soulless creature of night
Strikes the heart of endless woe
That song that whispers in my ear
That speaks of wave and tide
Which tears across sweet rivers weep

Tears that fall upon the land
A quake upon the time before
The sight of ancient hell
This darkness tide of everflame

Free me my elder friend
From dreams of shadows of this
This night which falls upon my life
And speaks of endless tears

I ask of thee my brother
Find no flaw in I
For fear has come to settle
To find it’s place in my…
Heart.

A crimson dawn bears not his strife
Nor calms his restless rage
The day doth break a thousand nights
Of loneliness and woe
Soft light bids welcome
That sweet emblem of love
Illuminating a field of flowers
Lost among the mountains
Tears fall
Frozen in the pale sunlight
Blur vision of crimson sight
Full of life
His cries are for naught
Carried by gentle breeze
His agonies unheard
As sorrow rains upon the land
A gentle storm of peace
Bringing rest unto his soul
Till life
No more.
