When I had YouWhen I had You1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I remember there was a time,
When I thought I had committed a crime.
I remember feeling my mind wonder,
As the first idea of you went through me like thunder.
First all I could feel was a hollow fear,
Then came the first happy tear.
My little baby nestled within me,
I just thought of how it would be.
A warm little someone to love and protect,
This little person I would never regret.
A son or a daughter,
Would be my joy and laughter.
I didn't care if they threw me out,
This child was mine without a doubt.
I would sit awake for hours,
Thinking of the blessed powers.
How wonderful it was to have you!
Being absolutely steadfast a

I look in the mirror reflection,
I hope my true self avoids detection.
I am not who they believe,
I find freedom when they leave.
I see myself with this refinement,
It's all traditional confinement.
Who is she?
That beauty staring at me.
Not who I was meant to be.
This personality and this face,
My family's disgrace.
Honor and poise,
Someone save me from this choice.
I hide behind this façade,
It's a delicate charade.
I see myself as a warrior,
Everyone around sees me as inferior.
Why can't I let my true self shine?
Why must I let this cage confine?
Behind this face I fade.
Who is that girl I see,
Staring straight ba

My face shows that I'm smiling
But my eyes show I'm dying.
Alone and full of regret,
Sighing wishing to be content.
Actions I'll never commit,
Pushing to my limit.
Let me not be alone,
Going through life like a drone.
Look at me,
Please see.
Lovely Glimmering BladeLovely Glimmering Blade1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The lovely glimmering blade,
Etching memories in scars that never fade.
It has a double edge,
Slicing through promise and pledge.
Protection with the right owner,
Destructive when used by a loner.
Dangerous,
Callous.
Blind to everything,
But once you've slipped on that ring,
Love looks like a blessing.
Perhaps it is a double edged sword,
Protecting or cleaving with a single word.
The lovely glimmering blade,
Etching memories in scars that never fade.

Tense as two lovers,
Closely they hover.
Driven apart by the beat,
Nimble and fleet.
He leads,
She fleas.
Lithe rhythm of seduction,
The sparks and passion.
Romantic,
Erotic.
Entwining around each other,
Intimacy is a wonder.
Without fearing,
Curve and muscle together melting.
Temptation,
Frustration.
Masculinity closing the chasm,
Clashing with feminism.
The tango making love to rhythm.
God's DesignGod's Design1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Trapped in your own room,
Stealing a chance to escape the gloom.
So long and in so much pain,
Wondering what there is to gain,
Know that you are not alone,
You are not in solitude as a stone.
For with you are your husband and son
You feel that God has a reason,
But has yet to reveal the purpose,
With nearly seven years gone,
Wishing He would get to the outcome.
Your misery will not succumb.
Let God show his design,
His mercy shows a sign.
Time for your sun to shine!

Silly young boy,
You play with your toy.
Demanding,
Arguing.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh little foolish heir.
Content,
But completely ignorant.
You're so insolent,
You're not even an adolescent.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh you little foolish heir.
A golden scepter,
Set of gleaming amour.
What is this about maturing?
Maybe we're just fantasizing.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh you surprising little heir.
Greying with age,
What a sage.
Marvel of time,
Gone past your prime.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh you fading aged heir.
How is it you never learned,
The gift that is a kind word?
Your time is over,
Not one single tear shed by a

In the summer air,
Watching the breeze in your hair.
You smile at me with familiarity,
I wonder if this is a dream or reality.
I can't help but wonder,
Looking into your brown eyes I'm left to ponder.
You're a snotty jerk,
But that just makes me go berserk.
I can honestly say I love you,
Knowing that you'll always be true.
Listening to Why Georgia by John Mayer,
This level of love almost doesn't seem fair.
You're my best friend for infinity.
My insensitive jerk all the time,
My lovable partner in crime.

I'll sweep up the remnants,

Not today.

No way.

My soul will be free,

Small boy, where do you roam?
Here and there, so far from home?
Place to place, never doing wrong.
Wandering in search for so long.
Into a man so brave and strong.
First to rush into the throng.
Strong man, where do you roam?
Here and there, so far from home?
Over the seas as they foam.
Strong man, why do you roam?
Brave hero, come home.
When The Master Came HomeWhen The Master Came Home1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Going off to college, hastening for your shot at knowledge. I watch you pack up your things, unobtrusively thinking, "What is he doing?"
With my big brown eyes, I watch you give your sweet goodbyes. A sweet scratch on the chin, you say with a sad grin, "I'll be back again."
Months pass by, I am left to whimper and cry. I run to the door, I am left lying on the floor. I sleep in your bed, you're the only thing in my head.
In the house there is a big commotion, I am left with a question, "What's going on today? Why is everyone acting this way?" It's so strange, does this mean a change?
The next few days go by in a haze, I am still left won
The Sky Was Very GrayThe Sky Was Very Gray9 months ago in Emotional More Like This
The sky was very gray today. The clouds presented a grim display. As I stepped out from under the veranda, the trees in the wind did sway.
My mind was flooded with many an angry thought, the sky opened and the rain it did wrought. Dripping wet was my lot. With nature I fought. I shielded myself but it was all for naught.
And so it did seem that my woes were just a dream. Because in the delightful stream, my thoughts inert they were deemed.
On my body the cold drizzle ran and every negative thought it did ban. Against my cheek the breeze did fan, and out flew every plan.
So I took my time in the rain, though to everyone else it was a bane.
The Hardest WordThe Hardest Word8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I sat up late last night,
Battling with this grievous plight.
Some say words of love are arduous,
But how can those be when they are most desirous?
Some say words of hate are strenuous,
But how can those be when a relationship is poisonous?
So I sat up late last night,
Trying somehow to see the light.
No, here is what I would express without delay.
There are many words that are hard to say,
But the hardest are when someone wants to go away,
To have someone leave without duress,
And calmly wish you all the best.
Yes, to anyone that would say,
"I would hate to hear it that way."
I would simply counter,
"Try having someone smile

It's the same old story, the same old line.
It seems that everything is ok, everything is fine.
Something is disturbing about this quiet peacefulness.
This warmth and relaxation makes me restless.
Awake me from this dream, release me from my slumber.
Free me and tear this nightmare asunder!
I am wild and uninhibited, an element,
Not meant to be bereft in confinement.
I am meant to soar over land and sea,
I am meant to be free.
So give me a match for this dreamy haze,
I'll set this nightmare ablaze.
Light the match and watch it burn.
Now in this dream it's your turn.

What if I knock at heaven's door?
What if I scream and shout all my needs?
What if I do my best to pray earnestly?
What if I still I feel empty because no one answers?
What if there's no relief in my soul after sending up that heavenly flare?
What if I am just a fallen angel?
What if all my prayers fall on deaf ears?

I walk along a quiet path; all I hear is the breeze in the leaves. The soft breeze speaks of the ending spring, and beginning summer; I look to the bright blue sky that is obscured by the leaves as I listen to the sounds of the trickling fountain and delicate Japanese maple tree.
But overall the sounds of peace is his voice calling to me, a caress in the breeze, I look to the maple tree that stands, swaying gently in the breeze, light red lush leaves waving and casting their shade. Under the shade of the tree there is a log bench, there I see him sitting, arms open wide for me.

The world is in tones of red and blue.
A gray haze that I can barely see through.
Plot and intrigue,
It's a political league.
But something is not quite right it seems.
Lycans hunting a normal man.
Something is wrong with this clan.
Attempting to save him he is marked.
On a wild journey I've embarked.
Digging out clandestine schemes.
A full moon is approaching,
Lycans are encroaching.
An ambush.
To the limit I push.
Shot into the river and its icy dreams.
Into the cold chasms of old,
Into the Elder's fold.
The only vampyre I trust,
Into a blasphemous action I'm thrust.
Memories translated in screams.

I stare into your eyes,
Marveling at what's passed me by.
I can say my heart is tap dancing,
Can you hear what I'm asking?
You're the only one.
My partner and friend,
My only until the end.
I'll confess before everyone.
A casual glance or a wayward feeling,
The happiness I'm experiencing,
Won't be leaving me anytime soon.
I've got you to catch me while I swoon.
Will you marry me?
Day DreamingDay Dreaming1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Echoes of the life torn from me,
Despairing in their hollow grasp.
Wishing my soul were set free,
But around me gilt shackles clasp.
The beauty of nature,
The trees and the breeze.
Liberty and its eternal allure,
The pain it does not ease.
Tormented by a blooming flower,
Standing by a calm stream.
Out of my reach, my power,
I am left to only dream.
Freedom wild peaceful beauty,
The vision of purity to see.
Solace, assent, and tranquility,
Confinement meant to be.
Watching the clouds,
Their gray shrouds,
Stare and day dream,
Until my soul is set free.
