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
Forever in my Heart
Laying next to you in your arms is my saving grace the only place where I find solace
pain can't find me here, nothing can harm me you are indeed my lucky charm
Gently you kiss my lips and with my finger tips I trace your face
composing my own masterpiece to keep etched in my brain
It may seem like we are a million miles apart from one another
but never forget I keep you in my heart and no matter how far away
I am from you I am always with you, I'm the whisper in the wind the soft breeze
felt against your skin, telling you I am more than just your best friend
I...

Sometimes
Sometimes I turn my back and just walk away
Sometimes I leave home trying to find home another way
Sometimes I fall to the floor regretting things I’ve said
Sometimes I try and find hope in the things I’ve read
Sometimes I see your face in someone else’s eyes
Sometimes I feel the truth seep through from others lies
Sometimes I doubt my love from things you’ve said
Sometimes I can't stand the thought of you in my head
Sometimes I want today to be my one last breathe
Sometimes I find a place in my heart where death dose dwell
Sometimes...

Eyelash Tears
Every rise of the sun every tic of the clock there is a new memory in my mind to unlock
It seems I have been frozen in time standing here all these years for when I look at you and in your eyes
I see my own pain staring back and through mirrored eyes I see the horrible scenes playing out over my life's canvas
I hear these constant words being whispered... but from whom
I am nobody
who are you?
are you
...

Songs of the Siren
Sing with me, songs from days gone by
Sing of the men who have passed our way
Our song they cannot deny
Though I am bound to the sea
and I mean not to lead them astray
All along the shores I sing
Through the night and into day
Touching the mariners heartstring
Long and lush locks of flaming red hair
As soft as the ocean's spray
With eyes as green as sea-foam
My melody follows the men as they roam
Do you hear the song of the sea
from aboard your ship as it sways
Do you feel the need to fall in love with me
I am a siren, sisters are we...

The Final Battle
When it is to end, Sky and Earth would wage an endless war against each other.
As one side gained the advantage, the other side would steal it away from the other.
This would continue until both agreed to one Final Battle.
Sky made its champions to fight against Earth, and Earth made its champions
to fight against Sky. Earth thought long and hard and created its champion.
Taking only from Earth and placing no Sky within its creation, Earth breathed
its own essence into its warriors. Sky watched Earth, and being ever jealous,
stole some of Earth to put in its...

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

Lady Oxhona and Lord Gretam : A love story for the ages
There once was a great strong and handsome knight as his father the Lord Ayden and
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...
