Wade Harlaine

My heart is like the Ocean
as it feverishly yearns for land
a quest for true emotion
held in an embracing hand.
...

The duller the blade is sweeter
For while this sacrificial flesh is slain
It abates the yearn to meet her
This vision I paint may sicken
...

Through the green valley and past the crooked tree
there lies a place of love and tranquility
where food and water are in abundancy
and children play happy free from tyranny.
...

I know you’re with him now
every thrust a dagger in my heart
every kiss a lash tearing at my flesh
I see legs entwined locking bodies together,
...

It is like a splinter in my very mind
stabbing into the core of my existance
the answer elusive and evasive does bind
to a firery cave that chokes with persistence.
...

She sleeps beside me does not know
my heart bleeds profusely a sickening glow
and while she wakes I do caress
knowing the heart loveless no less
...

I think he loves you best
No worldly grace compares
Outshining every jewel in every chest
Coveting all, mankind stills and stares
...

It’s a knife in my spine antagonising
or a poem tap dancing on my tongue not materialising
It’s the railway engineer barring my chariot
leaving me on a slippery platform of decadency
...

Immolate my love and burn it
sacrifice my fragility its weakness
forget true honesty lets forsake it
Its purity embittered no sweetness
...

There is a long journey in this heart
The distance a million miles back to the start
and the weight I've carried for so long
would break a man twice as strong
...

A futile perception of past perfection
A rampant resolve for resurrection.
The will of its nature consumed by yearning.
A terrible foe, a raged heart burning.
...

The vessel of my hearts affection
decanted by cold sharp steel
the finest wine in Scotland's collection
spilled on teeth, three lion’s waxen seal.
...

The day grows closer, I feel its presence
I look out into the distance, the clouds of darkness moving nearer
The day of reckoning will soon be upon me.
I must honour our love, perfection cannot be exceeded
...

You’re held safe, deep inside my heart
enchained by the strongest of my binding feelings for you
I wish you were close so I could hold you tight in my arms
How can I stop this distance that grows with each day that passes
...

At the birth of the earth, moon and sun
the life giving spirit created the perfect soul
but then realized that it was too powerful
and split this entity creating man and woman,
...

O raging heart why do you burn so
Am I to never escape your wicked flames
To feel the calm of a still ocean
To be apart from spiteful games
...

I believe in a fairy tale
A love so intense it could never fail
and if I hold out will I end up alone
It's a risk I have to run
...

Remember me in laughter
Filled with joy and with a smile
Tear up your subscription in the end the pain the vile
Keep me in the warmth and in the glow
...

For the time lock away religion, its verse often misunderstood
And educate the people its intentions always good.
Melt down all the weapons for wheelchairs, limbs for the lamed.
Reassess the futility of war the loser always blamed.
...

I bet you thought I'd laid down and died
Drowning in the sea of tears I’ve cried
But there's more passion in each of those tears
Than you ever showed me throughout the years
...
