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
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
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"
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
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 Poets Birth...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 fa
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 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  
The journeyThe softest silver stars
Paint love light in thine eyes
Pure, enchanting beauty
For thee my heart doth fly

Moonbeams light perfection
Each sweet enchanting curve
Whispering of passion
Without the need of words

Love, our wine and nectar
A sacred river flows
Whence and where unwritten
Save to high plateaus

Then in rainbows falling
Through light and time and space
Our love divine shall journey
As I look on thy face...
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
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 Mistake...Screaming in the silence
Rips and tears my soul
Terrors silent echo
Like a bell doth toll

Tolling, tolling, tolling
This haunting filled with hate
Evil darkness beckons
It comes to seal my fate

That love could turn to bile
My heart it held no thought
Broken in your dying
My soul was overwrought

Death I know had claimed thee
Thy body cold and still
My world with thee entombed
How could I wish thee ill

I swear I heard no sound
Saw not the slightest breath
Peaceful in your coffin
I believed that you were dead

Imprisoned in the darkness
Constricted in a box
Fingernails breaking
The tomb a steadfast lock

I saw how you had s
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 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

More from *Gary-thedreamingpoet

Home?Across the sea of hope and fear
Far beyond the spires of faith
A memory flickers in the dark
Like a fading, tremulous wraith

Sweet echoes sing unto my soul
With such treacherous siren calls
Tainted love that baits the trap
And beckons the heart to fall

Then like the rays of golden dawn
Rising beauty lights my sky
Through this veil of silver tears
A heavenly rainbow flies

Soaring through cerulean blue
On a mystic chariot of fire
I follow where the colors lead
And splendor would inspire

I feel my spirit soaring
Sacred steed with wings of flame
A universe unfolding
And stardust for a frame

Stars and planets dying
Yet others
The Echoes of LoveThe wheels of time are turning
Life's tide it slowly ebbs
And the best of life is dreaming
For love is surely dead

Cold, brown earth is barren
The tree's are stark and bare
Wet, brown leaves decaying
Does hope shine anywhere?

I hear the faintest echo
Fading memories of love
Journeying on the wind
To somewhere far above

The strength of youth is fading
Just as the winter sun
Time is undefeated
And some battles can't be won

Loneliness is poison
It seeps into your bones
In my heart a palace
That holds an empty throne

Yet on the tides of sleep
The world of dreams doth reign
I ride a swan to Avalon
Where nothing seems the sam
Poets Are Born When Hearts BreakOn blue savannah plains
Below a crimson sky
Sings an azure willow
She's simply asking 'why?'

Among the yellow buds
Lay broken hearts so red
Each so very wounded
They surely must be dead

Blue grass bends in sorrow
Green parrots sing sad songs
Elven folk stand crying
For a world so full of wrong

Sunbeams kiss the dying
The moon sends healing dust
Angels sew the deep wounds
Of those who gave in trust

Faery folk bring new wings
And very special gifts
Eyes that see a thousand worlds
And words men's souls to lift

Healed, these hearts are rising
Composing ballads for the stars
Newborn poets flying
With such beauty in their sc
Pen and PaperWho can see their journeys end
What stars may light their way
Can tell what time may bring
What fades and what may stay?

Can weigh their share of smiles
Foretell each falling tear
Plan the route and journey
Avoid the touch of fear?

Who stay love's fickle hand
Care not for Cupid's dart
Stand firm before the tide
And chain the yearning heart?

Love it was that felled me
That made the strong man weak
Love that left me lonely
And caused my soul to weep

Yet still life's sails billow
Times rolling river flows
Sailing on much faster
To lands I don't yet know

Give me pen and paper
I'll bleed words on the way
Share with you the jo
Cain's TaleUnsettling revelations
Do you really want to know
Why the darkness beckons
And nightmares come and go?
So vampires are a fable
And werewolves just a laugh
Spirit's don't rap on tables
And ghosts? That's just a draft
Your eyes they see so little
Your ears they miss so much
Yet your nerves are brittle
And you quiver at my touch
I was there at the beginning
I'm no 'primitive baseless fear'
I've made an art of sinning
And for that I shed no tears
I killed my brother Able
Spilled his blood upon the earth
Banished from Gods table
I still had a little worth
Upon my head there is a mark
So none may strike me dead
Now living in the velvet dark
I fill your hearts with dread
My children are your nightmares
And yes, they're very real
Monsters, werewolves, vampires
Your life can really steal
All that you imagine
All the horrors in your head
These and more I've given
For human hearts to dread
And yet you love my darkness
It gives you quite a thrill
You see you are my heir and heiress
Isn't that
Milestones and memories... Chapter OneIt was Sunday afternoon, there was no partying, which was unusual. Instead we had a lounge full of people eating a Sunday roast dinner (even more unusual) and watching a cine film. It was called 'The Wasp Woman' and even to a seven year old it seemed more silly than scary, but roast chicken and curiosity were keeping the desire to go outside and play at bay, at least for now. Mum and dad, and someone I hadn't seen before were arguing, but there was nothing unusual in harsh words in our house and I kept on watching the 'horror film', wondering why a wasp woman would frighten anyone. Now werewolves, that was a different matter, they were fast, deadly and scary!
That's when all hell let loose. A tray complete with dinner plate, beer glass and cutlery flew up into the air. A second plate hit the wall and smashed, vegetables and gravy running down the fading wallpaper. My dad roared and suddenly the stranger was flying through the air. He landed on the cine projector and it, together with t

The Quest

:icongary-thedreamingpoet:

Howling, 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...
:icongary-thedreamingpoet:
To hunger for love... A quest, a curse or a blessing?

Love is a never ending journey, even when you find the one you want to spend forever with, your love for them still grows, and your relationship matures. Even if you feel like your marriage doesn't work anymore, or that your partner has changed. Love is a flower that never stops growing until all of it's seeds have dried up. Until you and your love are dead, your love for them will mature.

Love, so beautiful and euphoric and yet so painful and destructive...
Whilst love lives in the hearts of men poets will always have something to write about :)
