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...

Heavens FirePerfect radiant beauty
Draped in soft sweet light
Enchanting and beguiling
With promise of delight
Tender is the moment
When lips at last do meet
The flame of passion's fire
Stirring up love's heat
Lost in land of rapture
Our fingers trace the way
Inner voices guiding
The way that lovers play
Comes the sweetest moaning
When silken folds are reached
Tides of pleasure building
As barriers are breached
Urgency now building
With every loving touch
Waves of Eros pounding
The pleasure seems to much
Sweet this nectar flowing
I need no other wine
Honey of an angel
Thank God who made you mine
Then the rising waters
Give in to deep desire
You and I both rising
To dance in heavens fire...

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 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

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...

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...

The beautiful HauntingIn the sweetest birdsong
I hear a haunting voice
Memories of our love
That bid my heart rejoice

In floating cherry blossom
I see the beauty of thy face
Echoes of bright halcyon days
And thoughts of fond embrace

Love for just a season
Times river dried and gone
But you still live and breathe
In this heart you e'er belong

Lips that touched, our token
Like a flower pressed
Found between our pages
And living in this breast

Serene and cherished lover
I read your crafted words
Etched upon eternity
Such comfort they afford

Your eyes I see before me
They touch and warm my soul
Passions flame still burning
For you, who makes me

LoveLOVE
Time froze in that moment
The Earth it ceased to spin
My world simply faded
I felt new life begin
Is the sun still shining?
Are birds still flying free?
Lost in this new wonder
Yours alone the light I see
Eyes that shine with starlight
And moonlight in your hair
Radiant this beauty
To you none can compare
Skin soft as rose petals
There's magic in your touch
Harps I swear are playing
Can one heart love so much?
Come to me my darling
Take this welcoming hand
Hold the soul I give thee
And in fiery love we'll stand
Share with me this moment
Ride on this wondrous flow
On love's mighty river
Such passion we will know
In my arms I'll take you
Deep our smoldering kiss
Body lost in worship
My love, I'll show you bliss...

Beyond The RainbowFar beyond the rainbow
Where time falls into space
Colors spin a melody
And all things find their place

Some hearts call it heaven
To others it's Avalon
For some it's just a dream
But there we all belong

Hurts shall be forgotten
And peace grace every heart
Beauty won't be hidden
And souls will fly with larks

Tears will mark the birth of joy
And death shall be no more
For in this land of wonder
Love like rain shall pour

For every broken heart
And every wounded soul
This the angels promise
"My lord will make you whole"

Beyond...Beyond the sea of loneliness
And past forgotten shores
There is a realm of mystery
Though few can find its door

A world of dreams and wishes
Where cats fly in the sky
Puppies sail boats on rivers
With no one asking why?

Pilgrims travel silver paths
Their guide a plain white dove
Like ark's in search of land
These hearts just look for love

Here poets write with moonbeams
And paint what's in their heart
Never fearing brokenness
For hurt just plays a part

How sweet this place of wonder
Where rainbows serve as slides
And butterflies will lift you
To take that magic ride

And yet for all its splendor
There's something here I mi

My PrayerMy prison cell unseen
A bare and lonely place
Echoing with wishes
As tears run down my face

In the silvered mirror
A portrait of regrets
Upon the wall a trophy
For failing every test

Here there is no beauty
No winning truths to see
A legacy of hurt and pain
The sum of what must be

My suitcase of mistakes
So very hard to carry
The past cannot be fixed
However long I tarry

I stand upon the edge
See wonder in the stars
In the world behind me
So many wounds and scars

So sweet rising sun
Full of golden light
Banish please the darkness
And let this day be bright...

Beyond...Beyond the land of dreams
Where mortals seldom go
Old Gods speak in riddles
Of things we should not know
Beyond the land of dreams
Past gates that few may pass
Undead souls teach secrets
The lore that ever lasts
Beyond the land of dreams
My elder name is known
And my knee has bowed
Before the blazing throne...

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...

If I Could Take Your TearsIf I could say 'I love you'
If your heart were free
If you could see beyond blue
Then maybe you'd see me
But life and love are tangled
Hearts weave complex webs
Broken dreams are cradled
And live inside our heads
So from afar I watch you
Love silent in my heart
Unspoken words a virtue
Though they echo in the dark
Your laugh and smile I treasure
Your kindly words I'l store
And in innocence find pleasure
Sweet soul that I adore
And if perchance you see me
Discern the love I hide
Would rising passion free thee
To sail on sweeter tides?

The birth...You touch me oh, so gently
Your tender fingers trace
Exploring every contour
Upon this careworn face
Kiss that's starts so softly
I'm held in your embrace
I feel your ardor rising
As my very soul you taste
Your passion is consuming
I feel the depth of need
Desperately you hold me
Is this love, or greed?
You suck the feelings from me
Bring numbness in your wake
No mercy and no pity
No care for heavens sake
It's billowing in my blood
I feel your poison spread
Killing all emotion
The dread cold touch of death
Trapped within this darkness
I hear your siren song
Evil and alluring
To you I do belong?
Candle light is glowing
I feel your icy hand
Rising from my coffin
You gently bid me stand
You touch me oh, so gently
Your tender fingers trace
Exploring every contour
Upon this undead face...

The Kiss...Sunlight slowly fading
Sets chained shadows free
Dusk her wings unfurling
Sings praise to what shall be
Comes the velvet darkness
Replete with silver stars
Moonbeams join in congress
And herald what is ours
Scarlet billows call me
They rouse me from this sleep
Death surrenders sweetly
Stone angels do not weep
I can hear them singing
My children of the night
Serenade enthralling
My wolves a sheer delight
Through the graveyard walking
I smile and bless the night
You, my love, are dreaming
Such raptures I incite
To your side unerring
Our love it draws me nigh
Life and death deferring
I kiss you with a sigh
Your dream deftly shaping
I swear you'll feel no pain
Mortal life though leaving
Our love, it shall remain
Scarlet life is flowing
Your blood such honeyed wine
In this gentle knowing
Love, I will make you mine
Now in triumph rising
This hateful dawn I'll flee
One last look espying
In death new life I see...
By Gary Jackson AKA Garythedreamingpoet

At Last...On summers wings doth heaven rise
And banish dread despair
Sweet succor in the dawns reprise
That brings faint heart repair
Purest blue the welcome herald
Burnished by that princely orb
Winters grip at last annulled
Come golden kiss, let me absorb
See, the hand of God is painting
The rainbow is his brush
An end to endless waiting
How awesome is this rush
Joy and colors bursting
My soul at last is free
With love my eyes are gazing
Such miracles I see
Life from death is springing
Green shoots and petals red
Sights that start me singing
At last the word is said
Spring, be thou the sacred gateway
To summers warm embrace
Bring the sweet and longed for day
Let sunlight kiss this upturned face...

JewelMy eyes they see you shining
Watch you walking with the stars
Brighter than the lightning
Beauty glowing from afar...
And my heart gently weeps
I watch your spirit soaring
Soft wings painting in the sky
Sweet raining words inspiring
See your canvass how it flies...
And my heart gently weeps
I see your sadness bleeding
Savage wounds that just wont heal
And know the love you're needing
The unending pain you feel...
And my heart gently weeps
My poet born in sorrow
What beautiful words you weep
High on that sacred plateau
Where none but angels sleep...
And my heart gently weeps

The Sea of WonderStarlight softly beckons
And calls this dreaming heart
Sail with me the heavens
Sweet waters we will part
Mighty planets dying
New sun's that brightly burn
Sights that leave you crying
For more your heart will yearn
Sacred wisps of color
Paint beauty in the sky
Here true wonder conjured
No point in asking why
Eternity is painted
On mighty wheels of grace
Where the hand that molded
The blessed eye that traced?
How poor this poet's art
This wondrous tale to tell
So sad then to depart
In dreams this soul would dwell...

The power of your touch

It moves my very soul

Nectar to my spirit

Your love enfolds my soul

In you such beauty shines

How can such glory be?

Lost in adoration

At last I find I'm free

Moving in sweet rapture

With touch and kiss we play

Passions song ascending

To crown the brightest day

In loves sacred garden

I drink your treasured wine

Taking you to heaven

And thanking God you're mine

Then flying with the stars

Our bodies merge as one

Life and soul and spirit

Bright shining as the sun

Then that tender moment

Neath passions waning wing

Where loves flower blossoms

And angels start to sing...
