Alone Again
--by Doves Cry
Emptines surrounded me,
And I dremt of you.
The love that I had always felt,
The warmth that I still knew.
The vision of you emerged,
And I felt you in my heart.
Remembering all the things we'd done,
That need right from the start.
I miss you my sweet darling,
And love you very much.
I miss the way you held me,
Your soft and tender touch.
Then slowly as the night grew near,
My heart began to grow still.
All I wanted was the love,
That only you could fill.
Reluctantly I closed my eyes,
And hoped for peacefull sleep.
Into my dreams you slowly crept,
My heart you took to keep.

Cold Heart Beating
--by Doves Cry
Stone cold
Numb
Never feel the pain
The hurt
Turn it off
Never feel again
It doesn't matter
Put it away
Under lock and key
Put out a fire
That rages
Don't colour it
Black or white
Only grey
Never feel
The cold heart beating
Never feel the pain.
The Man I Am To Love
--by White Raven Angel
I call to you from darkness.
I cannot see your face
And yet I know you're waiting there...
In some forgotten place.
I feel your love within my heart
It's power sets me free
I wish that I could tell you now
How much you'll mean to me.
You'll fill my life with gladness
You'll wipe off all my tears
You'll ease the aching loneliness
That haunts me all these years.
I know you're out there somewhere..
Maybe watching from above...
And someday I will find you.
The man I am to love.
Loss Of A Mother
--by White Raven Angel
Your passion's fire it burned so bright
You left me far too soon
And yet I feel you in my heart
Each time I see the moon.
For now I walk this world alone
Awash in haunted tears
I'm cast adrift into this life
No comfort for my fears
I miss you Mother, desperately
And hold you in my heart
Although your body may be gone
Your soul will never part.
Your passion's fire it burned so bright
You left me far too soon
And yet I feel you in my heart
Each time I see the moon.
For now I walk this world alone
Awash in haunted tears
I'm cast adrift into this life
No comfort for my fears
I miss you Mother, desperately
And hold you in my heart
Although your body may be gone
Your soul will never part.
Onyx Night
--by White Raven Angel
Onyx night, hider of shadows, keeper of dreams
To see inside your wily schemes
To touch the dark and know its pain
To plunder hell and back again
To pray for peace from Gods above....
Such is the price to live for love..
To touch a heart and make it sing..
Unselfish thoughts of your everything..
To dream at night of sharing life
To live and protect, from danger and strife
The tenderest touch of the morning dove..
Such is the price to live with love..
And now to die, for love has flown...
To weep and wail, and cry and moan...
For what might have been, but will never be known
To ponder life, forever alone.
To wither and fade, to shine no more...
For love has gone....and closed the door.
Onyx night, hider of shadows, keeper of dreams

Love Of A Lifetime
--by Princess Phyllis (for Vampofthenite and White Raven Angel)
You are my one, my only..I am yours.
I love you, with all that I am or could ever hope to be...forever, for always I will be yours, and you will be mine.
We found something in each other, that many have searched for their entire lives.
We are joined in our hearts, our minds and our souls...feeling whole and complete, as never before.
You calm my nightmares, making them sweet, sweet dreams, often appearing in them, at my side.
You are my love, my friend, my passion, my one desire.
You have said I am your joy, your love, your heart, all you have searched for.
We are one and the same to each other.
Waking from dreams of each other, longing to touch at first light.
Hoping to be together, drawing the first waking breath of a new day.
We feel the warmth of our embrace, our pulses quicken during our kisses.
A deep longing to be by the other's side, in the other's arms for all time..this is our most sincere wish, our deepest, most heartfelt desire. Know this, my love, my life, my reason for being...
I love you.

A Poem
--by Hooded Figure
Gripping the handles of my daggers,
I see my enemy, move forward, then stagger
Drawing his blade and narrowing his eyes,
This hooded one's head would be a great prize.
I do not move, just stand and wait
Our eyes meet each other's, deciding our fate
He lunges at me, swinging his blade,
My arm is cut, a cut he made
I counter quickly, but not quick enough
My enemy blocks, his movements are tough
I move again, but am met with steel
My abdomen slashed as more pain I feel
And then suddenly, I am away from this place,
I feel the moon's light, shining down on my face.
I look ahead and see my beautiful wife
I thought she was gone, he had taken her life.
My heart feels alive as I remember her beauty,
She smiles so sweetly and moves quickly to me,
I open my arms, to hold her again.........
My chest is slashed open,
His attack, a ten
I fall to my knees, holding my heart
I was losing this battle right from the start
He raises his sword and breathes victory,
I close my eyes, waiting for him to end me
The blade falls quickly, the head rolls around.
I pick it up with a grin, alone, not a sound
And then I look into the hooded one's eyes...
"This hooded one's head will be a great prize..."
Gripping the handles of my daggers,
I see my enemy, move forward, then stagger
Drawing his blade and narrowing his eyes,
This hooded one's head would be a great prize.

He lunges at me, swinging his blade,

I move again, but am met with steel

And then suddenly, I am away from this place,

My heart feels alive as I remember her beauty,

One Who Walks Alone
--by Silver Dragon
None so noble there is as a knight,
One who upholds the one true right,
Warrior to the last, showing no fear,
Even the time when the end draws near.
Understanding the truth, and doing right,
Always walking in the light,
Serving, protecting, defending all,
heeding the troubled ones beck and call.
But now, the knights are a dying breed,
Most of their kind have taken heed,
No more damsels need rescue, nor duels to be fought,
No kings left to serve, nor quests to be sought.
Now the sword once again rests in the stone,
Waiting for the one who walks alone,
And a knight, when troubled and facing strife,
Will always rememeber, "My honor is my life."

Woman of Darkness, Man of Light
--by White Raven Angel
My days I spent in darkness
The ghosts around my face
A self-cast isolation
In a sad, forgotten place.
The darkness and the shadows,
Became a home to me
The solace of their strangling arms
To cloud a destiny
A wandering heart, so incomplete
A fear to be made whole
A woman cast in blissful night
A lonely, tortured soul.
But now a man, awash in light
Has come to never part
With hope and love, he climbs the walls
Of her forgotten heart.
And now his brightness lights the path
The ghosts they flee at last
He seeks to free her evermore
From the prison of the past.
And love, so true, now blooms between
This woman and this man
That now can never be destroyed
By ghosts, nor fears, nor man.
The beauty now, within her soul
He sees, and calls his own
And she is lost within his love
The love so freely sown.
A future now, within his eyes
Has replaced the strangling dark
Her own love flies on velvet wings
Her heart it bears the mark.
The doubts, the ghosts, the choking fear
At last have gone away
Each day now brings a brighter hope
Of love that's here to stay.
My days I spent in darkness

A fear to be made whole
A woman cast in blissful night

With hope and love, he climbs the walls

Each day now brings a brighter hope
Of love that's here to stay.
Angel Boy

Little angel...
The one who touched my soul with gentle laughter...
Touched my heart with tender kisses at the most unexpected times...

Shattered Slumber
--by White Raven Angel
Shattered slumber
Blissful night
Interrupted
When thoughts take flight
Unsolved problems
Mar the sleep
The peaceful slumber
I try to keep
He lies beside me
A world away
So many things
I need to say
So many answers
I cannot find
Trapped inside me
In the prison of my mind
I reach to touch him
He pulls away
I do not know
Just what to say
So I say nothing
And lie awake
Trying to find
The decision to make
To gain the slumber
I seek to find
And wipe with sleep
The enigma of my mind.

Fleeting Stranger
--by White Raven Angel
Love...
Fleeting stranger.
I see you, dancing by
When I reach out to touch you...
You dance away...
So close....
But just out of reach.
I ache to find you...
To bring your tumult into my life.
And when you're gone...
You leave me to hurt forever
Because you danced away
And left me here again
To long...for a fleeting stranger.
Love...
Fleeting stranger.
I see you, dancing by
When I reach out to touch you...
You dance away...
So close....
But just out of reach.
I ache to find you...
To bring your tumult into my life.
And when you're gone...
You leave me to hurt forever
Because you danced away
And left me here again
To long...for a fleeting stranger.
Can You?
--by White Raven Angel
Can you see me?
Can you look into my soul?
Can you see the dreams inside me...
Hiding in the fathomless void of my mind?
Or is it that you can't see..
Past the outside shell...
Past the imperfect visage...hiding a heart
So filled with beauty...
That you don't see...
And you will never see...
Because you cannot see me.
Can you see me?
Can you look into my soul?
Can you see the dreams inside me...
Hiding in the fathomless void of my mind?
Or is it that you can't see..
Past the outside shell...
Past the imperfect visage...hiding a heart
So filled with beauty...
That you don't see...
And you will never see...
Because you cannot see me.
