Forever in my thoughts,
and always with your grace,
there lies the clearest image
of this; our love's embrace.
...
Make Haste! My dreams! For sleep ensures
that in the night I'm only yours!
So, bring the darkness; bring the night
until dawn brings its humbling light.
...
Drawing nigh, the time of choice inside my fiery soul
Digs deeper. All the while, lacking balance takes its toll.
The stone and mortar build a base from cold and empty ground
Erect, at length, the structure that has now come tumbling down.
...
The night; so quiet, so obscure
My thoughts are always seared
By remnance of the unforeseen
And all that I have feared
...
Fading gently into rest I listen to your words.
The deep contractions of your chest leave not a breath misheard.
Relaxing fully to the sound I feel a sigh release;
Enraptured by the bliss I've found that brings my soul to peace.
...
When sorrow shadows brightness from above
Misguided, faint emotions start to swarm
To battle saintly waves of bliss and love;
The brackish gray of hate becomes the norm.
...
Let the ghosts of my past come before me.
Let them honor my self as they fly.
They've created the darkness which stores me,
Where I cannot watch angels go by.
...
Shadows, fears, & visions of remembrance
Become the apparitions rushing by.
Taking heed the poisonous resemblance
Misguided past regrets & dreams denied.
...
Beyond the mist and shadows
The shed of blood has ceased,
And remnants of a sacred war
Leave scornful lives decreased.
...
