Love elusiveness held a heart trapped
Bound to doubt of its existence
this heart inhabited in disbelief
Imprison within its cage of bone
Mistrust and suspicion
Flows through cold veins
Becoming essential
to this heart’s existence
in secluded, solitude
Bravery took up the challenge
walked through the bitter thorny ,garden
that Doubtful resurrected to conceal.
He sought something this skeptic heart could not give
it knew nothing of what this valiant offered
Indeed, sorcery must be resisted.
A secure prisoner within its past, distrust heart,
build-up its barriers that’s withstood many intrusions
But Fearless was determine to cross
Its thorny walls and poisonous patches
Frighten, cynical heart only build its barrier higher
Desperate to keep elusive at bay
By any cost, in any way
Daring remain undaunted by rejection’s might,
this brave soul stood its abuse, its pain,
patiently, courageously waited.
Love, the light at the end of a darken tunnel
the beacon that helps guide finally snapped the bonds that ensnared
its bewildered prisoner.
Brave, bruised, tired and bleeding,
Love’s defender,
stood steadfast with arms welcoming.
No longer doubt’s prisoner, a Loving heart,
emerged, eagerly seeking Love’s embrace
in the arms of Brave.
Love, no longer elusive
lives in a heart that’s free
and thankful.

I remember
I remember your warm laughter that kept me up all those nights
I remember your long flowing hair, that brightened the night
I remember your careing eyes
I remember your affectionate smile
I remember your sweet voice
I remember your tender caress
I remember your loveing passion
I remember your everlasting compasion
I remember the last time we talked
I remember the fight
I remember when you fell, in such a gracefull fashion
I remember the world seemed to stop
I remember the fear that tingled my spine as you hit the cement
I remember the driver who never stoped
I remember your pale soft skin dirtied by the mud
I remember the crimson blood that trickled down your face
I remember your eyes filled with pain as you stared at me
I remember saying that you would be okay
I remember that I lied
I remember holding you in my arms as you went limp
I remember that I never left your side
I remember watching as the ambulance caried you away
I remember your coffin being lowered into the ground
I remember the grief and pain that enveloped me
I remember the feeling of loss
I remember your freindship
I remember your love
I remember you
I remember your warm laughter that kept me up all those nights
I remember your long flowing hair, that brightened the night
I remember your careing eyes
I remember your affectionate smile
I remember your sweet voice
I remember your tender caress
I remember your loveing passion
I remember your everlasting compasion
I remember the last time we talked
I remember the fight
I remember when you fell, in such a gracefull fashion
I remember the world seemed to stop
I remember the fear that tingled my spine as you hit the cement
I remember the driver who never stoped
I remember your pale soft skin dirtied by the mud
I remember the crimson blood that trickled down your face
I remember your eyes filled with pain as you stared at me
I remember saying that you would be okay
I remember that I lied
I remember holding you in my arms as you went limp
I remember that I never left your side
I remember watching as the ambulance caried you away
I remember your coffin being lowered into the ground
I remember the grief and pain that enveloped me
I remember the feeling of loss
I remember your freindship
I remember your love
I remember you
A Prayer For My Wicked
Rain blowing through the trees
And the world rides on bustling clouds
To touch your face
A weary soul this would embrace..
As the wicked shadows and black stars appear
I am there to dry your evil tears
A million years tortured
To feel your deviated grace..
A mind torn
You did every blissful thing wrong
From the moment you damned me
Every doubt a deadly beauty..
Bloodthirsty and broken
Rip my heart out lay it in your hands
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To see blackened love in your evil eyes..
A dreary darkness of ashen tombs
To the ends of Hell and back
A crimson death of love longing
For a blackened heart..
Hope this is ok.......I don't do so well at writing about love it still comes out dark..
Rain blowing through the trees
And the world rides on bustling clouds
To touch your face
A weary soul this would embrace..
As the wicked shadows and black stars appear
I am there to dry your evil tears
A million years tortured
To feel your deviated grace..
A mind torn
You did every blissful thing wrong
From the moment you damned me
Every doubt a deadly beauty..
Bloodthirsty and broken
Rip my heart out lay it in your hands
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To see blackened love in your evil eyes..
A dreary darkness of ashen tombs
To the ends of Hell and back
A crimson death of love longing
For a blackened heart..
Hope this is ok.......I don't do so well at writing about love it still comes out dark..

Sleepwalker.
It's been two weeks since I lost him.
Maybe it's been two months
and odd days here and there
that echoed with apathy
There is a heaviness in my walk
I did not carry before
and i dwell, as if caught in a dream
and always looking for exit signs.
He was my perfect air,
the place where dreams collided
intricately with my sleep;
I waltzed a thousand life times with you
caught in the melancholy of love
that laid so softly beneath your fingertips,
the anchor of your lips
holding me tightly and wholly true
but now I've lost you.
I wander alone in wonderland
searching for the trails of your essence
that will once again make my one, a two.
Release my heavy heart, dear one.
Hold me steadfast in your love tonight,
embrace me in your strong arms instead,
like you do, every night,
inside my gentle head.

Oh! Well, my mind played with it a bit, and it got stuck in there and had to come out. It's silly and fun...
Unsteady Footing
I slipped
In your steadfast love.
I wasn't watching
Where I was going.
Usually I know better.
I stood
On your immovable will,
Trying to reach
Your arms
Held just above me.
I wasn't tall enough.
I peeked
Into your open mind.
Caught a glimpse
Of fun
And dirty things.
I think I saw myself in there.
I heard
The music of your heart,
And couldn't help but sway
To the steady beat.
It was in part the song
That brought me here.
The view
From your soaring soul
Is more than breathtaking.
I became addicted
To the rush
Of running near you,
But then I slipped.

God, I forgot to write you down
I saw her with rockets in each hand
now in outer space
very occasionally on earth
always extra-terrestrial
she sometimes stood on my chest
while I tried to laugh in fits of coughing
her dust was better than magic
her eyes were nothing like the sun
allow me to steal a few more lines from time:
oh baby baby it's a wild world
over over and over until tumbling down
the mountains sweeter than your sound
should have known to mine for gold
would leave me broke and penniless
this love is stead-fast but does not keep balance
some weekends it's right to the bottle
some it's sleep for 40 winks
but always the visage of you in shawls
dancing around the mind's eyes corners
like a bright flash of light
past the alabaster walls
right into the pink of the heart
so so so dumb
I'm beginning to think we all
force ourselves alone
I'll take breakfast alone until you return
when and if you do
I'll make breakfast for two
and kiss you on the forehead in bed
before I leave for work
(I'll contemplate the lack of wings where your shoulders are)
(maybe, God, you took them,
but i will not forget to scribble down their absence
cause i notice when she flies)
