You...To feel a thousand words
A spring of pure delight
The rising tide of love
That echoes through the night

Can you hear my whisper
The words I dare not write
The song my heart would sing
In rays of dazzling light

How to paint your beauty
The words I cannot find
Like a star in heaven
Your radiance doth shine

Sweet and gentle maiden
Love remains unspoken
For if you turned away
My heart and world... broken

So, in soft veils of sleep
My heart on wings will rise
Death and dragons I'll fight
And you shall be my prize...

The GiftEvening paints its splendor
Across a crystal sky
Stars and moon appearing
As sunbeams fade and die

Comes the sweetest music
Seductive and deceiving
Beckoning the senses
Spirit, slowly yielding

Floating, falling, needing
Heart take wing and fly
Surrendering to passion
Desire a pleading sigh

Come then honeyed darkness
And banish ordained death
Love that lives forever
And life that needs no breath

Drink this scarlet river
For all I am is thine
Death the path to life
Where spirits shall entwine...

The PromiseBlood red skies the herald
Of dark unfolding night
Stars and moon give promise
Revealing sweet delight

Come oh breath of darkness
Bequeath thy gift so dear
Living death eternal
Thy kiss it holds no fear

Released of shrouds embrace
I leave thy comely womb
Palace, home and haven
My beloved, sacred tomb

This my treasured kingdom
Mountains, valleys and plains
King and bloody tyrant
Still my legend remains

The ruins of my castle
Hold yet my lonely throne
Here you are imprisoned
Your life and soul my own

Tremble then my darling
There is no hope of flight
I love to see you quiver
In flickering candlelight

Can you hear my hear

And the moon bled...The moon was gently weeping
Her blood coloring the sky
Scarlet droplets billowing
And the wind was asking "why?"

Below the frost was busy
Painting all with ice
Ghostly pristine beauty
Her touch was so precise

The world wrapped in silence
So little noise to hear
Just a mournful sighing
And the echo of sad tears

The angel of death wept
His task a bitter blow
To carry these poor souls
What shame the world should know

In one arm Romeo
In the other Juliet
Death of star crossed lovers
Earth and moon would not forget

For hatreds bitter blade
Killed the heart of love
And cast the blackest stain
That saddened heaven above...

The Moons DaughterA gentle blue caress
The subtle touch of night
Your heart softly beating
Beneath this silver light

Sacred jewel of Nyx
I long to hold thee near
To share my lonely world
And stem the falling tears

Moonlights chosen daughter
I hear your ageless song
Are these foolish yearnings
Or with you do I belong

Something calls within me
I feel and smell your land
Forests bathed in silver beams
And serpents in your hands

In this place of wonder
May savage wounds be healed
Or deep dreams and desires
Be magically fulfilled

Still I hear thy music
Though sense bids hope to cease
My errant heart still lingers
In search of love and peace..

My RoseHow can I extol thee
Paint a perfect vision
Sing a golden sunbeam
Write what can't be written?

Soul of burning wonder
Angelic, perfect heart
Overwhelmed I struggle
To capture thee with art

How can words paint heaven
The beauty I perceive
The rising sun of love
Such words I cannot bleed

Unworthy this poor tongue
To ring with fulsome praise
To sing a truthful hymn
Would take me all my days

Daughter of creation
Sacred jewel of night
Within this lonely heart
Shines your radiant light

How to scribe such beauty?
One comparison I know
Thou my hearts desire
Art like a perfect Rose...

Walk with meWalk with me my darling
In this eternal spring
Where flowers last forever
And birds of love do sing

Walk with me my darling
In this land of make believe
Where bees deliver honeycomb
And dreams with love we weave

Walk with me my darling
And give no thought to time
Here we have forever
To share our love divine

Walk with me my darling
We'll trace rainbows in the sky
Fill them in with color
And then we'll learn to fly

Walk with me my darling
Watch the gentle river flow
The sun will always shine on us
Because of our love he knows

Walk with me my darling
And say we will never part
Please take the ring I give you
You already

In AdorationI look into thine eyes
Drown in lakes of wonder
Feel my spirit soaring
Clouds are torn asunder

Golden beams are dancing
Painting skies of blue
Wings that banish misery
Now wear a rainbow hue

Sweet the rising melody
That on heartstrings plays
To chase away past sorrows
And bring a brighter day

Thou art radiant beauty
With sunlight in thy train
Bringing waves of passion
To shatter every chain

To see thy perfect hand
Feel such softness on my cheek
The only pleasing prayer
This humble soul could speak?

The ocean of my heartMy heart is like the ocean
Restless, wild and free
Raging passions stir me
Far more than you can see

My heart is like the ocean
Tranquil, calm and still
Deep beyond imagining
Loves call I would fulfill

My heart is like the ocean
Powerful, gentle and blue
A maze of contradictions
Each searching just for you

My heart is like the ocean
Stormy, terrible and dark
My passion girl is calling
To my love will you not hark

My heart is like the ocean
Restful, beautiful and pure
And just like the ocean darling
My love for you it shall endure

Pretty in her bedLying pretty in her bed
Outside a storm does rage
Uneasy dreams inside her head
She's lost inside a maze

Outside a storm does rage
Thunder covers up the sound
Fingernails pick at broken glass
An entrance he has found

Thunder covers up the sound
Death is in her room
Longing eyes survey her
Thirst will be sated soon

Death is in her room
She doesn't stand a chance
With raging burning blood lust
He wont bother with a trance

She doesn't stand a chance
Vice like hand grabs her hair
She's pulled across the bed
To scream she can't find air

Vice like hand grabs her hair
His teeth they rip her throat
A daughters bloodless body
A

A Poets TaleThunder rolls through heaven
And lightening falls like spears
Pain is heard in howling gales
Rain hides the flow of tears

This heart it softly rages
Howls against the loneliness
Yet wears a happy mask
To hide what it won't confess

Hurt in every lonely step
That cold and empty bed
Memories of better days
That echo in my head

Here the battered keyboard
That helps to keep me sane
Words that bleed with hurt
And yet the truth remains

Within this wounded heart
Love to give I've plenty
All around is beauty
Yet my world is empty

Thus the pilgrim poet
Found his haunting voice
The cost by world extracted
That did not give him cho

The FeatherThe world moved around me
And life just passed on by
No one spared a second glance
Or stopped to wonder why?
They saw so very little
They never looked within
As if the act of caring
Were a special type of sin
Perhaps this broken heart
Was never meant to heal
And that tide of loneliness
what I'm meant to feel
Sometimes though the burden
Well it just seemed all to much
And that final clasping hand
Perhaps a welcome touch
But then came my salvation
In the welcome land of sleep
A soft and gentle voice
That begged me not to weep
From the realm of heaven
A tender healing kiss
Tears that washed the pain away
Oh divine and loving bliss
Enfolded in an angels wings
I couldn't help but mend
Knowing on her love
I truly could depend
Was this just a dream?
A foolish flight of fancy?
A desperate hopeful longing
That echoes now so faintly?
Some I know would say
'by dreams you've been misled'
But they've not seen the feather
She left upon my bed...

Without youSitting here without you
My tears they fall like rain
Living life without you
It offers nothing but pain....

But in the realm of mortal dreams
Our love it reigns supreme
Here we rule our world together
And our love it is no dream

Here no shadows dare to fall
We loved each other from the start
Our love flows like a river
And in love we've pledged our hearts

In your eyes there's magic light
I kiss your lips and hold you tight
You fill my soul with wonder
And bring heaven to our velvet night

Here the wheels of time don't turn
This love will not be fleeting
You and I we paint the sky
Our hearts in time are gently beating

Your

Crimson ShardBeautiful crimson shard
Glistening on the floor
Some say thou art broken
Though I see something more

Dancing in the candlelight
I see the heart within
Starlight's wondrous beauty
Caught and held herein

Sweetest Crimson shard
Thy radiance enchants
Lost in sweet surrender
My heart begins to dance

I'll hold thee forever
Make thee all mine own
Beloved crimson shard
My heart will be thy throne

LonelinessCruel day surrenders
To mists of softest dreams
I hear thy siren song
And walk in silver beams

Blossom rains in moonlight
Soft breeze brings thy caress
Sweet the song of nightingales
All by heaven blessed

In charmed world of wonder
This heart calls out for thee
My lonely, yearning soul
Pleads for what might be

Come then my Cleopatra
And fill this empty life
Wipe away the tears
And end this lonely strife...

SoaringI sit and hold your hands
Look deep into your eyes
Girl I'm yours completely
For you I'd gladly die

I sit and hold your hands
So soft, warm and tender
A sweet and magic moment
Forever to remember

I sit and hold your hands
My love forever pledged
Bathing in the ember glow
Of the precious words you said

I sit and hold your hands
My heart still beating fast
Thanking her in heaven above
For the gift of love at last

I sit and hold your hands
Our silver bands aglow
Our hearts together soaring
For the sacred love we know

Change my worldI come and stand before you
All pretense is swept away
I look into your eyes
We both know I need to stay

I come and stand before you
My soul is stripped and bare
All my secrets laid before you
My world entrusted to your care

I come and stand before you
Vulnerable, in love, and weak
All I am I offer to you
For yours is the love I seek

I come and stand before you
I have naught else to give
But teach me please my darling
Change my world and help me live...

SurrenderI fall in sweet surrender
My lips they call your name
My heart is yours forever
My love a living flame

I fall in sweet surrender
You know the gift I give
To you the greatest offering
For in your love I live

I fall in sweet surrender
There's nothing I hold back
I give all to you my love
So that nothing you may lack

I fall in sweet surrender
And gladly bow my knee
I live to make you happy
For in your love I'm free

The ClockThe ticking of the clock
The turning wheel of time
The hour glass of life
Filled with sand so fine

The ticking of the clock
That painful time of wait
It comes to every heart
That has to learn its fate

The ticking of the clock
And this one we can't drop
For no matter what we do
This hand for none shall stop

The ticking of the clock
Counting down the hours
Some things we can change
Over time we have no power

The ticking of the clock
Revelations happy and sad
Please tell me Father Time
Will my day be good or bad

The ticking of the clock
With me til my final sigh
For you will keep on ticking
Until the day I die...

The captiveYour heart it took me captive
And you didn't have to try
Somehow you touched my soul
Now without you I would die

Your heart it took me captive
You made my heart your own
I tried but couldn't walk away
And now our love has grown

Your heart it took me captive
Knew our love was meant to be
Your hand it reached out to me
Touched my eyes that I might see

Your heart it took me captive
Then your love it set me free
Gave me wings to fly to heaven
Showed me what our love can be

Your heart it took me captive
Then your love you gave to me
All you are, to me you've given
In my hand you've placed the key

Your heart it took me captive

It's writtenThrough wind and rain and fire
Over mountains and through snow
Through deaths deep dark valley
There's nowhere I wouldn't go

I'll search the highest heavens
I'll fight my way through hell
Search through hidden cities
Whose names men fear to tell

I'll go where angels fear to tread
I'll travel the rivers of time
I'll search and never rest
Because I know your heart is mine

My baby girl I will find you
For nothing can keep us apart
Your love I hear it calling
And in your hands you hold my heart

This world holds many truths
Some things are meant to be
Like the love I have for you
And the love you have for me

So feel my heart my

An honorable love...

by *Gary-thedreamingpoet, Jan 30, 2012, 12:24:46 PM
Literature / Poetry / Romantic / General / Traditional Fixed Forms

I feel thy silken softness
Thy hand ensconced in mine
Wondrous heavenly rapture
Oh to cease the flow of time

Canst thou not know this heart
Yet place such tender kiss
Do these eyes my truth betray
In face of fleeting bliss

Sweet the voice of welcome
Thy words melodious wine
Oh honeyed apparition
Of womanhood divine

How I long to hold thee
Yearn to call thee mine
And yet the fates uncaring
To dreams and fantasy confine

Thou wears an others ring
Though loveless and forlorn
I see the deepest sadness
For all that thou hast sworn

So love remains unspoken
Silenced for manners sake
Convention heroically upheld
While weeping hearts do break...

what your poem awakens in my understanding of it

thy vision fascinates me in a delirium
and deep down I know I can not have you,
so you become unattainable to my reach

*Gary-thedreamingpoet Jan 31, 2012 Professional Writer

You are very perceptive
