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...
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
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?
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...
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...
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
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...
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
The Shore of DreamsLove's unfurling splendor
Creates a perfect night
Deepest velvet blue
And softest silver light

Thine eyes the liquid pools
In which I float and fall
Lost in sweet enchantment
Thou holds me in thy thrall

Hair so soft and silky
I cannot help but touch
Sweet intoxication
To love thee, oh so much

Lips that softly beckon
The promise of a kiss
Thou my heart has captured
Upon a wave of bliss

Come then my sweet vision
And take this timid hand
On the shore of dreams
With thee I long to stand
Soft Tide of LoveThe moon shines in splendor
Against skies velvet blue
Night breeze softly stirring
Its caress with power endued

My will gently calls thee
Whispering dreams of love
My words in silver beams
Soft falling from above

Passion's river flowing
Fantasies stir and rise
Love's intoxication
Sails on sleep's soft tide

Let my heart possess you
Pray love take wings and fly
Lost in sweet sensations
Till dawn means dreams must die...

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"
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 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 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  
RainbowLike a perfect rainbow
Thou lightest up the sky
Beauty in thy colors
That makes me want to fly

Soul so full of wonder
Trying to find thy way
If I said I loved thee
Would then the rainbow stay?

If I calmed the beating heart
Chased the loneliness away
Would the teardrops vanish
In a glorious, golden day

Dreaming with eyes wide open
I bid thee dream no more
For in this world of darkness
Thy rainbow I adore

Oh bright and shining one
Thy gift a honeyed wish
Bestow thy precious love
And seal it with a kiss...

ContradictionsI'm full of contradictions
So shy and yet so loud
Kind of introverted
With my head up in the clouds

So shy and yet so loud
I find it hard to trust
But when I do I give my all
It's everything or bust

I find it hard to trust
But as a friend I'm loving
Always loyal and sharing
And I make a point of caring

As a friend I'm loving
I try to do what's right
Of course I often make mistakes
But to be my best I'll fight

I try to do what's right
But I'm just a simple man
Trying hard through everything
To be the best I can

I'm just a simple man
Who believes in God above
Not the hateful, vengeful kind
But the one whose name is love
Gruffalo.Your given name is Tilly
Although I call you "gruffalo"
In honor of your vocal grunts
It's a name that suits you so

I know you have a heart of Gold
Although you pretend to be so ruff
My loving little orphan girl
You feel the need to be so tough

Although there's a loving heart inside
To the world you seem a grouch
But that just makes you special
And I love you very much

Before your eyes were open
You lost your doggy mum
There are those who say you never knew
But I believe it hurt you some

So be a little "gruffalo"
You know how much I care
I see deep inside you
So my life with you I'll share

Captain of the doggy duo
So full

The Poets Tale

:icongary-thedreamingpoet:

Echoes 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...
:icongary-thedreamingpoet:
Pity the poor poet who writes but never lives...

…a poets life a wandering thing of
dusty roads and mountain springs
and every now and then a lass
who validates the time you pass…

Sounds like in your world that lass would be you :-)

I love this as it's a love poem with a sad twist, yet it's not cliche. Another great piece from you.

You expose your feelings amazingly both openly and closed only for the ones who really cares understand them...
I can't pity the poet, I don't think he his poor in anyway,
he writes his life in words that no one can steal,
his words are born and bring life, the poet is a creator,
no I can't force myself to believe in it or else I'll too fade and crack into self pity.
