Joseph Oliver Poems

My heart tears with the thunder of love,
Your beauty is greater than that of the angels of above,
My very being is torn asunder by lightning pure and true,
My heart is "Fulminata", armed with lightning and given only to you!
...

We'll all live,
We'll all die,
We'll all give,
We'll all lie,
...

Yet again I rise to the sun's setting demise!
Why do they always see what is not true?
Nightmares and blood, their death is due!
Pain fills us both as I drain you dry,
...

I burn and fall, burn and fall!
What is this life without Lucifer's wicked call?
I was once a servant, now is my time to rule!
My story I recant, as I treat thee cruel!
...

I watch in awe as they dance,
In fine suits and fancy dress they prance,
I stare in wonder as she moves through the crowd with amazing grace,
She whispers lovingly in my ear:
...

Chaos Reigns and Fire Spreads,
Death has come for the lover's heads,
Will they fight or will they fear?
Does it matter, will anyone hear?
...

Loving you is my greatest desire,
My passion for you burns as a sacred fire,
Loving you is all I want,
Your beauty to me will forever haunt,
...

As I lived, So I died,
Upon my grave a mortal virgin cried,
She kissed my face with final breath,
and alas! She raised me from my death!
...

I twist as I fall,
Reaching out to Heaven,
I descend into an inferno of pain,
I can no longer resist his wicked call,
...

Forever alive, yet dead within,
I have no love, and no kin,
My heart is blackened, yet it still beats hard,
Will I find my one true love?
...
