[x]

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...

Gentle WingsLike the sweetest melody
Loves stirring fills the air
Gentle wings of healing hearts
In sunbeams glisten fair

Unspoken are the yearnings
That silent souls dare hope
Heaven in a land of dreams
Before loves name is spoke

Spirits dance in courtship
Midst moonbeams silver light
Wonder in the weaving
Of natures ancient rite

Feel the breath of magic
That bids us walk above
To wander through the stars
As we declare our love...

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 Poets TaleEchoes roll like mist
Faint stirrings of my heart
How to share these feelings
Or change the things that part

Courage fled so long ago
Self confidence a lie
The hammer blows of life
Made hope curl up and die

And yet within your eyes
Can I truly see a seed
Healing in your bosom
And in the words you bleed

I write in cryptic verse
Revealed like finest wine
In every word and stanza
Your radiant beauty shines

Praying needful prayers
I tell my poets tale
The quest to paint your beauty
And how I ever fail

But more than that my love
I clip my feeble wings
Afraid to say I love you
For all that it might bring...

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 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..

The Turning Page of TimeBeauty in a falling tear
Salty, tender token
Love it's sweet conception
Though in birth it's broken

The sun that once did shine
Declares the passing day
She takes the grace of light
And darkness holds it's sway

Clipped wings that once did soar
Bear not this bloodied heart
This pain not mine alone
We both did do our part

Yet love in its sad passing
So many blessings brought
Smiles and hurt together
Were not spent for naught

And dawn brings light anew
For each forgiving heart
Sweet healing and rebirth
As sad sea's simply part

So teary ocean passed
Behold the bright new day
Time a new chapter writes
What now will heaven s

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 Impossible TaskHow to write a moonbeam
Or golden ray of light
Words to capture beauty
When heaven is in sight?

This poets quill may fail
Unfit for such a task
Though to paint such wonder
God's hand alone I'd ask

Mine eyes light upon thee
I struggle so to breathe
Lost in perfect rapture
Thy side I hate to leave

Child of Aphrodite
Radiant womanhood
Knowest that I love thee
And wouldst hold thee if I could?

Thou my heart hast stolen
I live for thee alone
Bound in these lonely chains
For love must I atone?

For one moment with thee
I would surrender all
To steal a heavenly kiss
And then on sword to fall...

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...

Her CallSo soft thy siren call
Sweet echo in the night
Dreams silk ribbons cut
To flickering candlelight

Sensual and alluring
Enchanting heart and mind
Oh vision overwhelming
Thou my soul must find

Thy perfume on sweet breeze
To heightened senses call
I walk in velvet night
Serene in deepest thrall

Unerring through the darkness
Thy voice dost guide me home
Through silence I can hear thee
I can't bear to be alone

Oh beguiling vision
I pray that thou be real
To long by grief held captive
Such healing love I feel

Thy smile it lights my heart
Thy embrace, sweetest bliss
The desire of beating heart
The passion of thy kiss

Thy lips

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

The FlowerAching winds of loneliness
Enfold this empty home
Here I sit in silence
Upon a pointless throne

Ruler of this keyboard
Ensconced before a screen
Living in the ether
And in a world of dreams

No warm and gentle arms
No tender, loving kiss
No sweet words of comfort
How did it come to this?

Is emptiness a mercy
Does sorrow set me free?
The chains of love no burden
If you would hold the key

Beautiful heart please hold me
End this torture with your kiss
Let love take root and blossom
It's flower our perfect bliss

My Constant LoverSo gentle is your touch
That tender first caress
Yearning in your fingertips
That leaves my soul undressed

Naked here before you
I have become your toy
Knelt in thrall before you
Defeated I give you joy

Your hands roam unrestricted
Your touch so deft and true
Making such sweet music
There is no move you rue

Fire bereft of passion
Intensity without pleasure
Weakness and surrender
The qualities you treasure

Mistress all demanding
You know that I am yours
There is no resisting
The fire in dreaded claws

So deep you rip and tear
Such damage you inflict
You laugh to see me crying
At the pain that makes me sick

Joints you cau

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

Life.....He said life's what you make it
Laughed at my puzzled frown
Young and very foolish
He dreamed he'd seize a crown

He said life's what you make it
You've got to play to win
The pursuit of wealth and riches
Would pardon every sin

He said life's what you make it
Lost friends along the way
Dropped the girl who loved him
Said he'd never rue the day

He said life's what you make it
I have no time for losers
Passed the starving children
Deaf to all their whimpers

He said life's what you make it
See how rich and powerful I am
I tried but couldn't see the love
Just a sad and hollow sham

I said, life's not what you make it
For heaven

RelentlessTicks the relentless clock of life
Hands that never speed nor slow
Constant in it's measurement
No matter what the fates bestow

Ticks the relentless clock of life
Body's aged before you know
Where did all my years go
Times flow used to seem so slow

Ticks the relentless clock of time
The things of youth long gone
Memories of a different time
Have I been here quite that long?

Ticks the relentless clock of time
Childhood with no video games
And TV shows in black and white
Was everything really so lame

Ticks the relentless clock of time
Youth with no emo's, goths or gay pride
Just skinheads, greasers and rockers
Well I'm glad w

DepressionWinding twisting corridors
Leading down into the abyss
Life viewed in dreamlike images
Something surely is amiss

Winding twisting corridors
Stairways and long halls
Half forgotten memories
As life around me falls

Winding twisting corridors
Echo with things past
Far below water dripping
A lake of tears that's vast

Winding twisting corridors
Citadel and awesome maze
Million, million rooms to wander
Lost and in a daze

Winding twisting corridors
Home of 'was', 'am' and 'will be'
Seat of possibilities
And keeper of the key

Winding twisting corridors
City of my mind
Joy, happiness, sadness and despair
All in you I find

Wind

The call of darkness....Bright and sharp her deadly blade
In her arms his life gently fades
Fighting no more his eyelids close
As he surrenders to the grave

Bright and sharp her deadly blade
Forcing this dark Lord into his tomb
Restless sleep offers no peace
In this cold and stoney womb

Bright and sharp her deadly blade
But her power is growing dim
Mother Sun has run her race
Now darkness fights to win

In the deep blue of nights embrace
A decaying tomb begins to open
The dark Lord begins to rise
The night has called and spoken

In the deep blue of nights embrace
A pure maiden he will favor
Carry her heart on wings of passion
Then her hot blood he

The children of the nightStrong and fearful warriors
The children of the night
Graceful and unyielding
Bringing death with savage bite

Strong and fearful warriors
To the dark Lord they hold sway
Beneath his broken battlements
Forever they will stay

Strong and fearful warriors
Sweet music do they make
Singing of death and sadness
Unwary souls they're called to take

Strong and fearful warriors
Their dreadful prince they do adore
In bloody eyes they see a mirror
A love of blood and gore....

In Adoration

I 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?

Sweet the rising melody, That on heartstrings plays. Lovely lyrical words.

*Gary-thedreamingpoet Apr 23, 2012 Professional Writer

That means so much to me, thank you

~Kay-March Apr 22, 2012

Words can be soft beams of silver and gold and glow on the same way in adoration as much as inspiration... The Moon do love us as we must love Her back.

I am going to practise my evil critiquing powers on you.

Wonderful imagery in this piece. Your syllable count is a little off in a few places but it seems to still reads well. Your rhymes work well together, also. All in all, a good job.

*Gary-thedreamingpoet Apr 23, 2012 Professional Writer

Wow! Evil critiquing my ass! You is still kind and lovable

~BellaBugia Apr 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Lol I liked it I couldn't really pick fault
