"Eyes of Bliss"
Blissful nights of sin
Pain in your eyes when I broke in
Pain of the past breaks of your heart
Sweet bliss it would be to heal all your shattered parts
I look into those eyes, their soft green
For a moment my mind fleets to a dream
What is it that drags me to you?
Even under the repulsive skies of blue
Something so barbaric and yet peaceful
Makes me long for a blissful kiss
It is the night I miss
Wishing and dreaming for a night we would be togather, never gone
A night when your fantasies are mine, and we are one

This is a poem I wrote a couple of weeks ago for a girl I was interested in. *laugh* well, we all make mistakes of 1 kind or another don't we?

"Broken heart of another kind"

Songs running through my mind
A broken heart of another kind
All those women I hurt in my past
How I told them it would last
But they didn't know about the others
Never listened to those regarded as brothers
Just for me, oh how they bled
If I had my way I would be dead
Jennifer was my first lie
When I broke it to her she almost died
Then I went on to countless others, taking their hearts
Why did I do this, did I have no heart?
Nikki then, oh how she wept
Cried all night while I just slept
What kind of creature would do this?
Was it truly me who did this?
I cannot forget them now
Too many hearts burned, I wonder how!
How could this callus heart beat in my chest?
I finally gave up, my heart worn this, maybe it turns for the best�..

Of coarse most of you stopping at this site know what this is from. My past. We all have those major f#ck ups from time to time. Me, unfortunately, all the time due to not thinking before I act.

"Love comes to rest"

Bring me the moon and take away these stars from the skies
Put them there, in your eyes
By the day we barely know one another
By the night we are so near lovers
And though it all seems so right
In our blissful, peaceful nights
There seems something wrong
I know he hurt you, it hasn't been long
May I mend your heart?
Piece togather every broken part
I look into your eyes, then I see
No other woman could there be
In only a short time you captured me
Far more than Birgette across the sea
What spell has been cast upon this heart of mine
May it last 'till the end of time
Tonya, your eyes so blue
Against your word, I love you��

Now this time it is truly my love. I wrote this 2 days ago for Tonya Tucker. A woman who has stolen my heart before I could blink my eyes.

Unquiet Night

Lying in my bed
Gazing at the stars out my window
Questions start rising to mind�
What do the stars think of us?
Do they take particular interest in a single person?
Have they the emotion to weep at the passing of a soul?
Or do they not care at all,
Only seeing a race bent on self-destruction?
These thoughts linger
Till at last they take control of me
And I find myself remembering
Once forgotten bitter-sweet memories�
The thoughts are a part of me
Yet I try to deny them
I gaze once more at the stars
Feeling that they somehow, somewhere
Hold the key
To what?
Know I, not�

This one is written by a good friend of mine, goes under the name of Emaleth. She is very talented, and I hope that one day she, too, will comprise a book of poetry. Go in peace Ema *smile* love and Light

Battling Depression

There�s a siege on my soul
I�m loosing all hope
all will to live�
An invisible force is attacking
and I�m caught with all defenses down
A smile, a laugh, none of it lasts forever.
I hate this depression, I�m tired of feeling this despair
I watch things and all I see is the sadness
The happiness goes past me
and I feel nothing at all
I am blinded by my emotions,
emotion�
depression
I reach for a hand that is not there
no one offering an explanation
These bonds, shackles, chains on my soul
Let me be free!
Another by Ema, yet another briliant piece. I count myself no poetry critic, but the emotion that she shows is very uncommon now in poetry. She has a born talent.

A Schizophrenic�s Delusion

The terror within,
Speaks of my sin.
The walls have ears
And they know of my fears.
The voices inside
Are telling me to hide.
They say I am sick,
And am imagining the pit,
But I know they are lying,
For I have watched them spying.
They treat me like a child,
And say that I am wild.
Locking me alone in a room
Claiming I am a loon.
I know what they are up to
And what they want me to do,
But I am resisting
While they�re still persisting.
Still, I hope one day I�ll win,
And then it will be their sin
That is exploited,
And I will be appointed
Empress of the World!

Again, Ema. I like this one *laugh* It's great!

Reality

Plunging into a deep abyss jokingly called a mind,
On finds a reality unlike any other intriguing kind.
I mages and sounds pass by in a blink of an eye,
If you are not careful you will be caught in a lie.
Here there is order among all the chaos,
And there are little gremlins hidden under moss.
The little fairies play evil tricks,
And awful ogres give you bad pricks.
Nothing is the way it should be,
All is the way it shouldn�t be.
Have you figured out where you are?
For the answer do not look far.
Over there you�ll see a tiny portal,
A closer look reveals strange white clad mortals.
A padded room locked good and tight,
Gives us all a horrible fright.
Welcome to the mind of a crazy,
Yes, things here appear very hazy,
But don�t be fooled by appearances.

If you haven't figured it out yet, this is Ema night *laugh*

Hatred

You�re worthless,
You�ll never amount to anything,
Everything you say is bad,
Everything you do is wrong.
What horrible things to say to someone,
But what happens when they are directed at yourself?
The importance of the soul is known,
Yet no caution was ever taken.
Now all I can do
is beat myself
with hate.
Dying from the inside out
And no hope for salvation,
anywhere.
The cries die out
tired of not being heard.
Hope dies with a whimper.
Tears replace a shattered heart.
Sweeping the pieces away in a daze.
Misery is endless
Hope torn violently away
save me�help me�
Can no longer ask anymore
no one ever heard
So forever I shall be silent.
Days drudge by
Tears falling into puddles of blood.
Precious crimson drips down
a young neck
And eyes closed
never to be opened again.

Another by Ema (wonder if she'll be happy?) *laugh*

The Gentleman

The night�s cold breath,
The light of the heavens,
These things I used to delight in.
A secret whispered on the wind,
A myth brought to life
Only to be sacrificed in a black flame.
Dreams are shattered like glass.
And lives ended
Without a bang or whimper.
Each word,
Each breath,
Is precious.
Love is unchanging.
Death is forever.
Are they the same?
I hear you call my name,
Should I go?
Your touch is icy,
But I stay because you came for me,
And me alone.
I no longer fear you�
The wind howls,
And the moon fades away,
You encircle me.
I feel release,
Release from my mortal coils,
Release from the world I once cherished.
But I am with you,
Nothing else matters.
The candle dies out,
And with it my last breath escapes my lifeless shell

Another by Ema, last one for now *shaking my aching fingers* well, I hope you enjoyed her poetry as much as I did.

"Jagged Knife"

Light of deseat burning my heart
Falling down through my every part
Burning a hole through my very soul
Come, pear through this fleshy hole

Why do I fall such easy prey?
Why should I bring out into this frey?
Oh lies are fleeting
My mind is bleeding

Take me from this pain
Give me a coat to protect me from the rain
I need love to shield me now
But with my past...how?

I lived to hurt, to lie
And so many wish I would die
But I sit here and listen to it all
It is my punnishmeant, I deserve the black ball

Jaggad poem of my life
Brought to an end by my jagged knife
Or prolonged by my need for love
For my last waking moment to rise above

This one I wrote from the top of my head to here...hope you like.....

"Beautiful Treasures"

Crystal, your heart held true
Please know, I do love you
When I look into your eyes, Blissful crusade
Forever my way is made

I love you
And there's nothing I can do
But lay here in your arms
Loving your very charms

I think of you every day
Hoping, wishing, just once you'd stay
Here in my life
Keeping far from me this knife

I hope one day we may wed
For this my whole life, my heart, will have blead
Oh beautiful treasures are your eyes
Holding far more beauty than even the night skys

Beautiful treasures of my mind
Your kisses, all so kind
Nothing this pure could be wrong
Nor another love this strong

So kiss me, and love me
In the morning you will see
That I am still here
And forever I am near~~

Raven Cloud.

This one I wrote for a girl who's very special to me. At one time I loved her very much, maybe I still do. Who knows right? Hope you like it~

Spice

Love is phasing
sunlight bursting through crystals
drawing rainbows
on your soft skin
on my lips
Love is moving
silky softness brushing over you
tender bites
i get closer
to the rhythm of your sighs
Spinning towards
the crossingpoint of light
floating with you
tasting
the spice of life

This poem was written by SkyDancer for her love, KJ. It's a great poem, and she a great woman. *smile* Thanks for letting me steal this poem Sky

"Drifting away"

Breaking Light
Blinding sight
You're leaving
My heart's bleeding

Why does this happen to me
Just for once, can someone see
The pain that breeds in my heart
Slowly spreading it's deseise to every part

Oh soulless nights
Sending to me new plights
I once believed in your cause
But I didn't read that single clause

That single clause that I shall never know happiness
That I should roam this world all but frightless
Pain leave my soul
Goddess help me keep my heart under controle

I live to find pain wherever I go
Happiness I shall never know
A tool of demise
Pain my prise

Our soul as one
Could out power even the sun
But you're drifting away
Drifting farthur every day

I wish I knew how to keep you here
How to hold you forever near
But that is not right
I should let you take your flight

But I can't!
There must be something...some chant
That will return our relationship to it's youthfull glee
Back to just you and me

Oh sinfull, painfull night
Don't let Crystal take her flight
I fear for my heart, thrice broken
For those last words to ever be spoken...

I wrote this for my fiance, Crystal....who seems even now to be drifting away from me........................
