Poet Introduction
I don't really write about one thing it's just what pops in my head at the time.My most written subject is love even though it bites me in the ass more often than not
Umbrella Pain
I'll never let you see
the way my broken heart
is hurting me
I have my foolish pride
and know all to well how
to hide away my sorrows
and pain, I do my crying
alone in the rain
sitting under my umbrella
I wish I could give you
my pain for just one fleeting moment
not to hurt you but,
to make you comprehend
how much you hurt me
you promised to catch me
if ever I fell ,alas you did not
the fall shattered my heart
and it lies in pieces beneath
my tree of life and upon
silent wings of night I cry ...

Dream Weaver
I disappear into the blackness from whence I came
I've been living in my own imperfect dream
far beyond a euphoric world, and it's reality
wanting more than anything to wake up
so many times I've tried , but since
you put me in this trance I just can't
laying here stuck in my own rapture
a permanent stance I am ever so abiding
as my mind you did capture
controlling my every thought
my soul caught and I am trapped
within this world that I have
no authority in, you have a tight
grasp on my days, but you own the night

Grandfather the Lord Rezikia before him were, He was known to his people as Lord
Gretam and he devoted himself to the realm to whom he swore an oath to one of the
most powerful army's in all the lands. A master swordsman, one by one they fell to
his blade, assassin like he was. King Malichor took him as a boy at the age of ten,
after his father, Lord Ayden was executed for being a trader, a story fabricated by
King Malichor to take the revenge he had...

On the Wings of a Dove
As darkest night seizes light of day, a soft breeze whispers
to me through the trees of the willow
As I lay here on the cold harsh ground the concrete is my pillow
in which I lay my weary head ever so aware of the slightest sound
as blackness lingers all around me judgment once clouded
but now my mind is bright and clear, thinking back to days of old
so much I did fear and a single tear dose fall as I'm chained to
this wall for the rest of my days to remind me of a pain so strong
what did we hope to gain by drudging up past blames we both made
loves been...

Caged
Have you completely erased me from your mind
do you ever think back to the love we had
I have given up on us
I am weary of walking a road that leads to nowhere
My heart is broken and all I have to blame
is myself I let you close enough to hurt me
and now I sit in the reserve of my alone
this love chiseled away my heart
my illusions kept me caged reaching out for you
my soul enraged like the trapped animal you made of me
I used to dream of a love to herculean to waste
that was so far away but close enough to taste
never again will I let my heart...

Soul Struck
Sick of crying
tired of trying
I'm smiling
but inside
I'm dying
My tears
are the
words my
heart can't
speak
salvation I seek
tears falling
my heart
has sank
...

Fade to Black
The darkness fades to light,
as I lay here stranded in a sea of nothingness
I have no place to go
I have no place to hide
I have no place to rest
And there is not anything in sight...
I am stuck in this...emptiness
Walking around I wonder
when this nothingness will end
no familiarity around me
not a noise nor aroma
Not even one...
there is just me shrouded in blackness
and all I hear is sounds of screaming
my own...hear my torment
sadness fills my soul
feel my turmoil
To much pain remembering
when I used to walk in light...

Hearts Afire
Standing here looking at you, the soft moonlit glow
shining all about you, how can I not be moved
by the fiery essence of your soul
When you say my name I feel your breath
brush over my skin like a warm summer breeze
When you look in my eyes I see a fire burning bright
you set my heart afire you set me free
what a glorious way to burn, making my insides sizzle
The magic of the night whispers in my ear
and you hold me tight as dawns light
breaks early morn beneath libyrinths of Autumn skies
My eyes caress you and my heart is full
for the first...

Her Dismay
Am I dreaming or have I gone insane
lying here on this cold hard ground
bound and chained I'm a slave to your soul
suffering in pain my essence drained
heart torn from my chest
I found a new way to bleed
I can feel you looking directly and
fixedly with a wide-eyed gaze
staring at me as though
you can read my mind
unaware and surrounded
by this all consuming darkness
not meant to see the light of day
from this day forth your prisoner
my days spent in emptiness
my nights spent wondering
and waiting for darkness
to end my...

Free Falling
You make me want to scream until there is silence, darkness I seek
I'm sick of crying I'm tired of trying it's like a horrifying dream
I'm smiling, but inside I'm dying, tears are the words the heart can't speak
My soul hungers for salvation leaving my body weak
To my knees I fall starved for your affection I feel I may parish I want to vanish
I got used to feeling wanted you quenched my thirst by showering me
with your love for awhile it was paradise, then like a thief you stole
that feeling back like it was given to me by accident
Thoughts of you burn my mind...

Ride a Drop of Rain
My heart is heavy mind in turmoil
I can still feel the last touch of your hand
No one seems to understand
how can I convey everything I feel
wanting to peel all the layers of pain away
The sleepless nights and empty days I'm a mess all alone
I will never be the same your eyes still mirror my soul
No one to talk to since you passed away
the silence is deafening and torments me
The sound of your voice haunts me
I visit your grave and fall to my knees calling out for you
the night grows cold and memories of you
like rain fall all...

Life
The past should be left in the past, otherwise it can destroy your future
Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away
and left your heart feeling astray,
keeping all who try to get close at bay, come back to the now
rejoin life among the living
I can't promise you will always be free from pains strife
I can promise to wrap you in my arms
fill the empty void and offer you all my love
to try my hardest to shield you from harms way
Give all the happiness you deserve, make your space safe and sound ...
