The Saddest  Angel

At sea, drifting,
   With no star to guide me
   And no wind behind me
She helped me to find my way

Cast upon the shore
   She swept the clouds away
   Eased my bitter pain
So I could face another day

      Her shining smile
        Hiding her own pain
        Finding it too late
      Only then could I have found

      Haunted by her sadness
         With my calming love
         My soothing touch
      Her fire I could not put out

            Stung by her words
               Her pain I could not ease
               Where words might succeed
            My actions were doomed to fail

            Drowning in her heart
               Nothing would ever touch
               My love was not enough
            To heal the saddest angel

Whispers

Whispered love
As clouds in the sky
Swirling and flowing in the breeze
Cherished, but never kept
Not imagined, but always fleeing

Fleeting dreams
Like butterflies in the field
Dancing, never touching the ground
Grasped at, but never caught
Hoped for, but never seen

Crying beauty
Flowing - a waterfall
Rushing and crashing onto the rocks
Hidden, never revealed
Hurt, yet never healed

Broken promises
Dark as evening sky
No more than a blanket of the light
Fragile, now shattered
       Sought, never attained

          Beyond the Wilderness

And in the times that I have lost my way
Her voice brings me solace
With her arms I can find comfort
In times of my unrest
Deep into her eyes I find myself
Direction on a winding road
Calmness she brings with her touch
Soothing my fiery soul

Her love, her love brings me security
A beacon to light my way
Knowing ultimately
That it leads back to her

                              

                                   Answers
                              The fears mounting
                        Bitter truth before me
                    Youth, mortality intertwined
                 Eyes burning, drained of tears
               Questions unanswered
              Dreams unfulfilled
            Tell me why

Winds at My Back

Among the fallen, crackling leaves,
I gaze between the shedding limbs
                          And I ponder...                             
Silent, mourning     
Actions speak louder than words?
Though my words can touch her
More deeply than my kisses could

                            

For those who are apart of my true inner circle, you understand the deeper meaning within these words that I try to craft..  Life is getting better. and this page has helped. Thanks to everyone  for your inspiration (positive AND negative) and for all your support , either direct or indirect..
