SLEEP
'Tis oft a trifle we see,
Of that which really is,,
In oceans dark,,
Where wounded hearts live.,
In fathoms deep,,
Fractured and bitterly cold,,
In want, I weep,,
Forlorned for love to hold.,
In depths, hidden,
Away from view,,
Are leagues there, smitten,,
Forever charged thereto.,
But alas, in silence deep,,
Adrift on lingering way,,
The heart yields to cold sleep,,
And bids adieu this day.,
LIFE IN A SMILE
There you smile
with eyes deep as oceans
and framed by raven hair
into my soul it reaches and stirs me
with the flash of yours eyes
that smiles glows
and with that life is complete
THREE WORDS
I am running
in my dreams
from the waters of confusion
across the bridges of fate
stop me she does
this angel
she clams me
she whispers to me
and with three words
I awake
INSANE POET
My island is sinking
the walls are falling
what is it I'm thinking
my self I'm calling
When my mind fades
will my friends notice
the power that tells
words of an insane poet
ALONE
Alone, bereft of love
struggling to make sense of the world
stumbling steps in search of happiness
arms outstreached like sails unfurled
thoughts keep threatening to overwhelm
emotions challenging my fragil control
as I look across the sea of isolation
that taunts with the endless wave's roll
but still I try, maybe I can try again
for those distant shores and that distant beach
for life is ever affirming itself and with time
all barriers fall and love comes within reach
WHAT DO YOU SEE
There you are
hair flows like silk
eyes seek to find something inside me
do you look for my dark side
do you look for the light
or do you seek something deeper
there you smile with what you know
or is it what you dream
a laugh makes it way out
is it because of my words
is it because of my ways
is it because of what you think of me
you sit beside me and move close
close and yet closer still
what is it that pulls me to you and you to me
do you see an angel
or am I just another demon
do you understand me
or is what you know only a guess
as we sit in silence your ideas in your head wander
as do mine
what is it in there that makes you seek me out
and what is it that you find worth staying for
when so many have ran or left ... you stand fast to me
in your eyes is reveled your soul
like a fine gem it glows
but is it for me
or do I just get to see it behind walls of glass
I revel to you myself, my inner being
you see what is within
what do you see
what do you see
WARMTH
Warmth spreading through a frozen heart
Caressing, slowly thawing a barren soul
hurting, yet healing while breaking apart
the barriers to emotion, making me whole
something stirs as the feelings suffuse
a weary heart, once cold and lifeless
now warm and loving, no way to refuse
to be thawed by warmth and lightness.
The hurting is still there but almost over
stirrings of life, awakening all over again
standing straight, squared of shoulder
a challenge is issued, let it begin!
