Welcome to my poetry page...all of the poetry
through wind after wind
the smiles they seem to fade away
hypnotic heat
suddenly i'm lost in this meadow of grief
i'm blinded by a sadness
is mine, although written under a different name...
as previously stated on my home page, please
do not take any of my work...i hope you enjoy my
poems, even if they are a little depressing...
and splashing rains
i come to you again and again
my heart is thumping
i can't let you go
i'll follow forever
through drifting snow
the lengths i'll go i'll never know
i'll wander on with burning soul
through moons and madness
and scorching sun
i know my journey has
only begun

there's no sun left in the day
there are no words to explain
the emptiness and depth of my pain
the songs that used to lift me high
are now the songs that make me cry
i feel lost in this hollow house
no creaks, no songs, quiet as a mouse
there seems to be no beat inside
just a shell of someone where i hide
i can't sleep knowing that you're gone
i can't stand to wake and find myself alone
the good times are very distant now
i try to do things but i don't know how
the tears that you wiped from my face
are now just a memory that i trace
i don't know what to do without you
are you lost without me too?

it's the bonfire that sets me free
it takes me to places i want to be
in streets of london where the fog plays
in streets of paris with the sun's rays
takes me to places i've never been before
makes me yearn more and more
the crackle of wood takes me through time
to the future, my heaven, mine all mine
the heat is sends through my fingers and toes
takes me farther than any car goes
there's never a place i don't want to see
there's always a place just for me
in the twinkle of the bright hot light
all time is forgotten and i'm out of sight
the flames reach up and they reach higher
and here i am...lost in the bonfire

only in your arms could i ever find relief
through days and nights i'll see your face
a multitude of memories i cannot erase
a gushing rain hampers my sight
growing cold and mournful throughout the night
we've come to the end...the darkest hour
sunlight cannot save this flower
perhaps some sun would ease the pain
but all we have is endless rain
midnight whispers a strange sweet song
to bless you as you travel on
the night seems endless...lingering on
i'm afraid you'll never see the dawn
exhaling a final withered breath
inhaling the blissful sleep of death
on a blanket of petals you lie so still
sleep my darling daffodil

that i can't seem to explain
i feel as though i've lost something
left in the pouring rain
i feel my eyes are heavy
can't wait for morning light
to somehow lift this heartache
will i make it through tonight
emptiness roars inside me
too silent for others to hear
an inner longing that weeps
without shedding a physical tear
