Drowning
This was also for a challange at CC in March.
My last breath
Pulled from my lungs
With your words.
A deep sadness
Washes over me
Longing to touch you
Keep you close.
I lay silent and still
As if any movement or sound
Would cause this to remain reality.
This is real,
I look to you for comfort
But the face I see before me
Is cold and strange.
So you turn away
And leave me
To drown in my tears.
Snow
Wrote this poem for a challange at CC, in Feb 2008
Pushing downward,
An unseen hand rages war on the trees,
Steadily bending and arching branches,
It is too much to bear.
Whispering harshly,
With such intensity and emotion,
Wanting to mourn and rejoice at once,
Silence echoes through the hills.
Strangely frail,
But strong and fierce,
A world so fragile and inflexible
That a single touch could shatter it.
Covering tenderly,
The world sleeps silent and patient,
Waiting to taste the warm air again,
This life is ever changing,
Nothing is permanent.
This too shall pass.
Night's Dark Mistress
I wrote this poem a few years back but I still like it.
She has a wicked smile that no man can resist.
Her hands are as icy as the snow.
Her heart beats black and lifeless in her boney chest,
yet her voice beckons love to come.
In her eyes, a spell, that hides the evilest of intentions
and in her mouth the tools to carry out.
Every night she wanders through the streets and blackened alleyways
searching with such an endless longing for a meal
or perchance a mate.
Every night she returns alone,
blood dripping from her chin,
but every night she goes
and does it all again.
Her cold black heart keeps breaking,
when her lips begin their aching
that endless eerie aching
the aching for precious blood.
She won't have peace until she's dead,
but no pain she wants to feel.
So, one night she sat upon the hill,
and waited for the sun.
It was glorious, beautiful, breathtaking.
Yet she regretted being dead before it's dawn
Her soul left her body without the faintest sound,
and now she is nothing but shapeless matter
Just wondering around,
But finally she is at peace
and no longer feasts upon our blood
and finally she rests with her one and only love.
