My love
I know thy path has stung
The rocks that break thy feet
Spill out upon the trail

Blood drips upon the aching road
Marking a sign of sorrow
Pain, blinding pain
Trips the weary soul

My love I catch thee fallen
My hands will ever grasp
Clinging to thy reaching hand
Waiting

Ever waiting
To catch you as you fall.

The night passes in recollection of fate
The dawn has risen
Light has descended upon the land
Forgotten are the aching hearts

Forgotten are the darkened words
Spiraling into the abyss
They fade
Last in the ever changing world

Tomorrow
I wait again to lose
That which drags my soul
That which tears my life

Tears dry in noon day sun
Scars fade in the passing years
All forgotten
All lost

Drifting in the winds of time
Slumbering evermore
Never again
To wake

I lie here amongst the lilies
Sunlight baths the sorrowed tree
Willowed branch doth brush the mind

Resting in the shade
That hallowed darkness
Staring into the sky

Pondering here
Finding myself floating softly
Carried upon fallen petals

Arose into the sky
Clouds brush past the silent air
Flowing swiftly by daylight

Sunlight falls gently
Dying behind majestic mountain
Night descends

Final rest
Serene peace from chaos
Moonlight valley below

The wind of a thousand knives
Breaking silent sleep
A chill shatters

Shatters the softened mind
Awoken in pain
Misery doth reside

Misery, that lonely foe
Crowds the quiet eve
Finds those lacking

Lacking in the basic light
The light that breaks
Breaks the silent dark

The silent dark that falls
When she is away…

My passion burns for you
Like toast
Its crisp blackness holds our secret
It crumbles
As I before your feet
My love
Branded by that lonesome touch
I fall
Lost in bitter time
I die
Alone, so very alone
Yet so alive
You are
The orange juice by my side
That refreshing glass
I wake to
My day is naught
Without you.

Always…
Worthless
Full of eternity
Lacking in trust
Phrases fall from open lips
Uttered in silent recollection
The night is long
How I cry for its end
Daybreak brings solemn rest
Yet my mind forever ponders
Never
Not a chance this time
The days pass ever quickly
The decision falls into my path
Here or there?
I thought I loved her
I wrote of always
I dreamt of forever
Tormented by reality I perish
Falling silent I cry
Sweet melodies
Doth calm a broken heart
Sung to sleep by nature’s song
I rest.

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.
