The WarningYes, I remember love
And passions roaring flame
The thrill of that first kiss
Desires you cannot tame

I recall the fervor
Love's roller coaster ride
How your heart beats faster
When she stands at your side

So listen when I say
Love to me's no stranger
And this my friend I've learned
She comes with hidden danger

Behold the walking wreck
That holds a broken heart
I was a better man
Till love tore me apart

Her hateful bitter blade
Just stole my world away
Gave it to another
It did no good to pray

They say that time heals wounds
That's such a sinful lie
Her's are scars I'll carry
Until the day I die

So my friend walk wisel

HellGathering darkness beckons
I watch my world close in
Sliding into private hell
For some forgotten sin

Come tidal wave of sadness
Wash every hope away
Drive me to the deepest depths
Then fight to make me stay

Unworthy, lost and lonely
Crush everything I am
Hold up that silvered mirror
For this unwanted man

Show me all my brokenness
The flaws I try to hide
Highlight every failure
Steal every trace of pride

Then leave me in the blackness
Without the will to fight
Helpless sniveling coward
So lost without a light

Crying tears of loneliness
In deep depressions maze
This iron grip far stronger
Than any man made cage

Reach ou

Magic in the TellingThe seasons come and go
But some things never change
Love like ribbons bleeding
Simple words upon a page

Close my eyes and see you
Your echo will not fade
Memories silken soft
For in your light I bathed

Like the sweetest angel
With healing in your wings
You came to me in dreams
And led this heart to sing

Unsurpassed your beauty
Radiance shines within
How could I not worship
And how can love be sin?

Can't you hear me calling
Or see these falling tears
This heart for you will yearn
Through all my passing years

My love will never fail
You live within my heart
But sometimes I feel lonely
And my world falls apart

And so I b

All In A Nights Work...In this hallowed cradle
I lay but do not sleep
Waiting for the sunlight
It's dying hour to greet

As the shadows lengthen
My thirst begins to rise
Eyelids slowing moving
I open blood red eyes

Fingers stretch and waken
Being dead is such a blast
Hunting in the moonlight
A sweet and pleasant task

Leaving this dark palace
I dance 'neath silver beams
Merging with the darkness
I listen for your dreams

When at last I find you
My pretty little prize
Haunting music calls you
I love how you comply!

From the blackest corner
I watch you in your bed
Turning dreams to nightmares
I play with your dear head

Slowly then I come to you

The QuestHowling, raging storm
Skies of hurt and pain
Lost within the darkness
The heart I cannot tame

Why will you not listen
Oh love on fragile wings
Time and fate have spoken
No longer should we sing

Tender arms a memory
The echo of a kiss
Heaven rolled the dice
And took away our bliss

Still in hope we travel
Through icy rain and gales
Praying, hoping, dreaming
That love may yet prevail

Yearning, always yearning
We fly in search of you
For love forever destined
The love we know is true...

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...

The Warlocks WoeThrough time and space he called me
With skill beyond compare
Confident of his power
To call my name he dared

I smiled upon the warlock
Through smoke from candles black
He wouldn't leave his circle
Nor dare to turn his back

He fell before my beauty
It took him by surprise
So in gentle tones I spoke
And sweetly bade him rise

Just what had he expected?
I asked this mortal man
Though fallen I'm an angel
I thought he'd understand

I granted his petition
Refused his offered blood
My price worth so much more
With me he fell in love

By day he can't forget me
By night his passion burns
He understands his peril
Yet for my love he

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

Red Rain...Within this empty world
The sky is never blue
Sunlight long forgotten
Just grey of every hue
Within this empty world
I walk and never rest
The burden that I bear
Just heaven's cruel jest
None can walk beside me
That road is cursed with pain
Perhaps it's all my doing?
I cause the cold red rain?
I don't ask for pity
Nor wallow in my tears
My fate I will embrace
Throughout the lonely years
Mistakes? Made so many
Afraid to face the truth
I never was 'just me'
And so I wasted youth
Fear it always chained me
I moved to worldly dance
So terrified and weak
I could not take a chance
I really was so stupid
I built my world on sand
Just trying to fit in
I never made my stand
I guess I broke some hearts
I know that I broke mine
Tears that keep on falling
And look like blood red wine
'If', the word that haunts me
The mirror in my soul
Right reason's, wrong choices
All leading to 'own goals'
Saw my inner beauty
As demon's in disguise
Fighting always fighting
Of course I lost the prize
To gentle I wa

Stranger LandsI see it in your eyes
The bitter truth within
The light of love has gone
So shall the tears begin
The sun that sets and falls
Brings our own curtain down
Fire lost in timeless sea's
That brings a troubled frown
As the heavens darken
So falls the wounded dove
The heart that gave it's all
To know the joy of love
When the crying's over
And hurt has had it's day
I will always love you
Are the simple words I'll say
For this my heart has learned
Journeying through the years
Love, it knows no master
And wisdom's bought with tears
Let us not be bitter
At this our painful end
For all that we have shared
Let's call each other friend
And so I travel on
To dream in stranger lands
Never to forget you
Or the comfort of your hand
Think of me my darling
Travelling lonely roads
Maybe recall the love
That time shall not erode
And in the dreamy nights
Perchance you see my face
Smile in remembrance
At the echoes of loves grace

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...

Kadeth-LeePast the white capped mountains
And across a long dead sea
Lays a wondrous temple
In the land of Kadeth-Lee

Seven hundred winding steps
Behind a silver gate
Guarded by the dreaming monks
Who contemplate our fate

Beyond those stone cold stairs
Lays a golden land of dreams
Though if there you travel
Know that nothing's as it seems

Silver paths will lead you
To white sand and azure sea's
Time will fly forgotten
As you rest in a healing lee

Emerald paths will bear you
To forests rich and green
Where faerie folk will sing
Enchanting and serene

Sapphire paths will lift you
White wings unfurl and grow
Flying high with eagles
T

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 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...

Me, A Monster?I miss time's flowing river
And the golden light of day
My loved ones still remembered
Oh the games we used to play

The past still lives in echoes
Though this heart be cold and still
So I bow this lonely head
And bloody tears my eyes do fill

Rally now my noble soul
On these things I will not dwell
For life still offers pleasure
And the past is not a cell

Beneath this silver moonlight
I watch the ghouls sweet frolics
Unearthing rotting caskets
For food that would give you colic

Then I walk with Constantine
As he haunts this hallowed ground
Gregarious for a monk
As many of us have found

So with my spirits lifted
I turn to h

The QuestionerI like the title questioner
It suits me rather well
Torturer is abrasive
Although I do give hell

I like the title Questioner
Interrogator's rather plain
I put you to the question
And jog your memory with pain

I like the title questioner
Questioning is my living
You request the answers
The prisoner will do the giving

I like the title questioner
Of questioning I'm the master
I extract the answers
And they die very soon after...

The pain of silenceYour silence says so much
Something's oh so wrong
The sword above is falling
I'm weak but should be strong

Your silence says so much
My heart already knows
For words my mouth is asking
But in your face, the truth it shows

Your silence says so much
Of what you'll say I'm sure
The pain's begun already
Please God let me endure

Your silence says so much
I'm not sure I want to stay
Cause girl you're gonna kill me
When you take your love away...

The smileYou have a smile to die for
Beauty beyond compare
I would love to sit beside you
All that flesh exposed and bare

You have a smile to die for
And you really have no shame
Lying on a sunny river bank
Girl you know this isn't a game

You have a smile to die for
My pretty Florida queen
You know I kind of love you
So please don't treat me mean

You have a smile to die for
But I'll still refuse that swim
For Alligators are dangerous
And If you catch me I wont win!

MisfortuneUnluckily I know misfortune
Intimately and well
We've lived together all my life
And to be honest it's been hell

Seriously I know misfortune
My childhood was a joke
I didn't ever laugh a lot
My little heart was broke

I really know misfortune
She brought me lots of pain
Introduced me to Arthritis
Life has never been the same

Me and my misfortune
Thought my marriage built on rock
Then she took my love away
That gave me quite a shock

Dear old friend misfortune
It's time to part our ways
You have other fish to fry
And I no longer want to play...

InsanityI say what I believe in
For that I'm called insane
Yet now the nations tremble
The world it knows my name

I do what I believe in
And no this is not a game
A million jackboots marching
How dare you call me insane

I will see what I believe in
Yes I will build my Reich
Take on all the world
And still I'll win my fight

I'll kill for my beliefs
Death camps aren't my shame
Just the final solution
And I am not insane!

My beliefs wont die
The fall of Berlin's sad
Death wont be my end
And don't ever call me mad!

MemoryI think I have a problem
But I'm really not sure what
I honestly want to tell you
But the truth is I've forgot

I think I have a problem
I was going to write about
But though I'm trying hard
About success I'm having doubt

I think I have a problem
Do you know what it is
I really can't remember
And I'm getting in a tizz

I think I have a problem
And it's really getting to me
Gonna have to see a doctor
About this appalling memory!

The Poets Birth...

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

Snow is gently falling
I feel it's cold caress
My world disappearing
All by ice possessed

Passions embers dying
Love falling from the sky
Screaming out to heaven
The simple question, why?

Helplessly I'm watching
I know my heart must die
A thousand broken shards
No more to rise and fly

The sky is cold and black
The stars so far away
Beneath this long dead moon
My crying soul must stay

I begged the sun, 'don't go'
Yet from my sky she fled
Left me alone and dying
And not a word was said

Love thy blade bites deeply
There's crimson on the snow
And from this bleeding heart
The hurting words shall flow

Tears like rain are falling
To my knee's I fall and beg
Pleading, 'girl don't leave me'
Was it something that I said?

Alone I sit and write
Remembering the dawn
Then an angel whispers
'From pain are poets born'...
