Love Poetry
A Glance
Looking at me slowly
Waiting for me to glance
I know that you’re hoping
But you wont get your chance
Wearing your red party dress
But I refuse to dance
Whispering truth in my ears
In deception you prance
Insisting I be pure
But I feel pretty sure
That when you look at me it’s one big lie

The Mountain Eagle
Love is a mountain eagle
That soars into the sky
Searching for her victim
With her piercing eagle eyes
While she flies over the land
She spots a lonely heart
Drinking by the stream-bed
Just wishing to stand apart
As she swoops to get her catch
The victim struck with fright
Shattering its dreary world
And engulfing it with light
Proudly marching with her catch
Now heading toward the sun
Where her nest is waiting
To be eaten by someone
As she tosses the soul down
It loses all its fear
The little ones delight, and
Victim sheds a single tear
Its finally accepted
And wanted in a crowd
Prey holds its head up high
With every reason to be proud
Elevated to a god
Swallowed by his rapture
But little does it know
That it was truly captured
Soon the world comes crashing down
And pummels the poor fool
The hungry beaks move in
Oh the eagle is so cruel!
Royally the eagle sails
The earth is it domain
Majestically it moves
And forever it will reign

In Response
I cried too
For the first time in years
I cried!
Because I wanted...
To be free.
I was tired of never knowing
I was tired of acting
Of putting on a show
I was tired of wondering if I should let you know
I was tired of feeling like I was nothing
I was worthless!
I was tired of spending every day fighting
Fighting to be someone you would like
Fighting to be someone at all
And I was tired
I wanted to move on
The only thing in my way was you
You were me, I was you
But my world began to crumble
My world began to leave me behind
My world told me I was useless
My world told me to go
So I went
I left my life behind!
For you...
You needed it too
Were you happy?
We never spoke
We never laughed
We never smiled
We simply lived in different worlds
Worlds that were meant to be together,
But were forced hopelessly apart
For you!
For you I cried for the first time in six years
For you I sobbed
The feeling in my stomach remains
Aching, wrenching, destroying, consuming me
My hands tremble as I write these words
I love you
I love you more than I have ever loved before
But were we happy?
Were you happy?
Was I happy?
I once was, long ago
But those times have passed
Are those feeling lost forever?
Only Fate, and Time, will know.

Place to Stay
You are the water
You are the glue
You are the binding
Surrender to you
You are the life
You are the birth
You are the ground
You are the earth
Like a child in the night
Shaking in my fright
Saved by the candlelight
I found a place to stay
You are the rain
You are the air
You are the brightness
Controlling my cares
You are the life
You are the birth
You are the ground
You are the earth
Like a hero on a quest
Searching for a place to rest
Desperate to catch his breath
I found a place to stay
You are tomorrow
You are today
You are the future
Here I will stay
You are the life
You are the birth
You are the ground
You are the earth
Like a star flying in the sky
Embracing nothing but his pride
Finding someone by his side
I found a place to stay

One Blaze
Denizens of the forests
And earth’s eternal groves
Citizens of the swirling sands
And swampy bogs, all know
When fire pours from the heavens
Giants burst and rivers glow
Torrential flames seep from the sky
A stream of destruction flows
Searing wood and leaf alike
Blazes erupting from the soil
The mighty earth and gracious sea
Are helpless, though they toil
To save earth from eradication
As the heavens spill their oil
Infernos stretching far and wide
Causing the lakes to boil
Yet I sit calmly on my rock
And wildly wait my turn
While I observe annihilation
My face is strangely stern
For I have a greater understanding
And though we won’t return
I hold your hand and close my eyes
Elated as we burn

A Chapter
A chapter of my life has ended,
And another will soon begin.
I have emptied myself of everything
And am ready to be born again.
Your chapter of my book has ended,
And with it a year of joy and pain,
A time of immeasurable bliss and grief,
And none of those remain.
While you have finished writing your chapter,
And I begin my second age,
Your body stretches from cover to cover,
Your love the binding on every page.
I struggle to recreate that chapter,
The feelings were true and raw.
I hope that I can one day realize
The true love that I once saw.
The next chapter will seem empty,
For I am on a frightful journey.
I must find out where I am headed,
And listen to my heart’s yearning.
Though your chapter is now my history,
Those things are said and done,
You are not out of the book completely,
We will return to chapter one.

Night
The lonely shift
The haunted hours
No one stirs
Only I make my home here
In these forgotten towers
No one knows if it exists
They try to understand
Candles to explore it
Torches to destroy it
Yet no one can own it
Or take the darkness from me
Free to think
To dream
To wish
And to cry
To laugh, love
To be born
And to die
To ashes I am taken
But each morning I am revived
A new person
A breathing, vibrant, flowing mind
My struggles at nightfall
Make the daytime so much more bright
I can hardly see
And I cherish my night
Oh you evil shining sunlight
Oh the perils of the day
I could hold you forever
But fate has stolen you away
You could not be eternal
Because your heart grew cold
Or uncaring
Immune
Dissolved
Or perhaps the memory grew old
But to you I still hold

Him
Cowering before the darkness
The icy chill destroys your mind
Just looking for a place to lie down
Doesn’t matter what you’ll find
Because you know that life is lonely
You reach out to make it real
When you yearn for another body
It fabricates all that you feel
The hollowness is growing
Swarming up below the ground
The cavity is showing
This barrenness soon will surround
Crying out into the darkness
Sheltered by your horrid mind
The outside world has beaten you down
And only in Him you can find
An escape from all that is lonely
Surely, then, He must be real
You swallow and become His body
Protecting you from what you feel
The happiness is growing
Seems to free you from the ground
The emptiness is showing
Reality cannot be found
Now you’re hiding from the darkness
It once tantalized your mind
It kept your true self buried, deep down
But within yourself you can find
The answers to why you are lonely
But in the light things are not real
Lighted by a foreign body
And making up all that you feel
The sheltered life is growing
Now you hate the very ground
The personas are showing
Though there is laughter all around

I Make You Smile
Casting off the weighing anchor
Heading for forgotten shores
Tossing off your former rancor
And I see you smile
How the freedom feeds your yearning
Flowing through you like the air
Subdue the flame of your heart’s burning
And I see you smile
Shed the skin of your existence
Chopping off the restful hand
Forced to trek a growing distance
And I see you smile
Cast a glance over your shoulder
Glimpse the life you could have had
Feel your fever growing colder
And I see you smile
Finding forest footsteps alone
Wrestling with those in the grass
You insist that you have grown
And I see you smile
Tempting the sun to come calling
The moon lies down to your will
Frightened creatures do come crawling
And I see you smile
Forcing me to climb the rungs
While you hold down the ladder
Tighten the rope as I am hung
And I see you smile
Just another hapless lonely soul
To be written on your parchment
Another to make you feel whole
And I see you smile
Carried off by your crafty lies
And stolen by your stare
You simply say the word “goodbye”
And you smile without a care
