Missing WordsMissing WordsMissing Words in Free Verse More Like This
The words are dead
My mind wiped clean
A void in my head
This blank screen
But the words now
Have ceased to flow
I don't know how
To make them grow
Calling them out
Words in the night
End this drought
Making this right
Stare at the page
It remains clear
This barren stage
Theatre of my fear
Behind the curtain
Sealed fabric wall
Becoming certain
It hides them all
My words are there
Just locked away
Only for you I care
I'm trying to say
It's so widespread
Building up inside
This heart is dead
My words have died
Whenever I see you
My voice goes dry
Feelings so true
Can no longer deny
My mind is blank
Only a TheoryOnly a theoryOnly a Theory in Free Verse More Like This
No point in belief
Here in the dark
There's no relief
There's no 'spark'
Love is a theory
Forgotten concept
Leaving him weary
Alone he wept
He hates every store
Displays of cruel red
Flowers, bears galore
A bright mocking spread
Peering through glass
A dull empty glare
Seeing a moment pass
Through eyes of despair
The lights shine out
Drowning the street
And the one without
Stares at his feet
Damp, sparkling stone
Streaming far away
He remains alone
How he will stay
A small tear grows
Glistens on his skin
A cold droplet shows
The loneliness within
The damage is done
Here in the night
Sadness has wo
My ForestMy ForestMy Forest in Free Verse More Like This
A tangled web of greenery
Fading slowly into red
See the falling scenery
Leaves plummeting, dead
Lie crushed on the ground
Memories of a better day
When hope could be found
Now consumed by my decay
I walk between the trees
Sadness staining the air
Whispers hang in the breeze
Soft words of cold despair
Serenading an unwary ear
This cold sorrow stings
Feelings won't disappear
And the misery it brings
Further in the wood I go
The trees grow more dense
A world draped in shadow
Clouding out every sense
I'm numbed by the pain
Every soft spoken blade
Cutting through me again
All my scars have stayed
My route remain
The StormThe StormThe Storm in Free Verse More Like This
Tension weaves in the air
Tearing across the night
Born in clouds of despair
Blocking out all my light
Atmosphere growing thick
Dense with waves of fear
The tension makes me sick
No hope for this to clear
Water builds in the cold
Dancing across a dark sky
And raging uncontrolled
Raining the tears I cry
I stare out into the rain
The cold stings my skin
Icy drops of liquid pain
My misery is sinking in
Lightning strikes flesh
The searing charred scar
A wound so raw and fresh
Shows I've fallen too far
I'm in this way too deep
At the eye of the storm
The dreams haunt my sleep
No-one to keep me warm
Sky is now dee

I sit here in the night
Shadows growing longer
Within this fading light
My darkness is stronger
Each day the pain grows
Wounds of life bleeding
Past my facade it shows
Inside my hope's receding
A calendar's cold stare
Dark pages of remorse
My life remaining bare
A futile, empty course
Let another year begin
A cycle of depression
As my sadness will win
Resists all repression
Why is it all the same?
Each year etched in stone
By an ever dying flame
Another year left alone
Carved deep in my mind
My scars are everlasting
From times left behind
Leaving a bitter sting
Today I must grow older
Enter another dark age

The fires that burned
The flames that grew
For all that I yearned
For the thoughts of you
I suffered each burn
The scars and the pain
Why can't I just learn?
To not be burned again
I'm cracked and charred
And the damage is done
Left broken and scarred
Another break has begun
Watching the ashes fall
Crumbling at my feet
I've now lost it all
I'm crushed by defeat
The heat made me strong
Even from an empty lie
Why did I go so wrong?
I'm now weak, now I cry
I miss those cruel fires
Twisting so deep inside
All my pathetic desires
Always forced to hide
Pain would remind me
Telling me I'm alive
Only through your beau

With it's waves of pain
My overwhelming emotion

You all drifted away
Off into the distance
Just why won't you stay?
Share this empty place
unwanted and rejected
Exciled out of sight
Because I am infected
By your perfect light
Those false visions

My pathetic decisions
Lying that I'm fine

The sky is open wide
Light bursting through
As clouds run and hide
Ocean of lightest blue
The sun takes position
Ominously it's beaming
Another daily rendition
Torrential heat streaming
I enjoy this new heat
A comforting climate
Yet it infers defeat
Within my mental state
It stirs within my mind
Growing and expanding
Taints all it can find
Too powerful, demanding
All the social graces
Slipped from my hands
The bright open spaces
Everyone else stands
Not the place for me
I'm forced to admit
This incompatibility
Is making me unfit
Empty joy stains the air
Diluting the expanse
Can it cure my despair?

I have made some critical decisions
Examined the thoughts locked inside
Took up the blade, made incisions
Then started cutting into my mind
That pain was comforting and warm
Layers of delusions peeling away
My last defence against the storm
Years of longing just couldn't stay
Two seasons of the same infection
Were forcefully cut from my heart
There was no point in my affection
So I killed it, and ripped it apart
Stamped out the last of the fires
When the only solution was violence
To destroy all those futile desires
Replaced now by sickening silence
Banishing the anger and frustration
Casting my feelings into exile

The curtains of defeat
Are swinging to a close
Nightmares on repeat
As the shadows enclose
The days falling away
Time drawing ever near
Forgetting what to say
Filled with that fear
I won't get it right
Things will go wrong
Soon it's opening night
I've waited too long
Lines aren't in place
Locked up in my brain
Only that empty space
Restricted by the pain
Too much distraction
Is clouding my view
Curse this attraction
Of how that I see you
Your glorious beauty
Reflected in my mind
Such perfection I see
Has left me far behind
The pressure now mounts
A cold crushing weight
Each final day counts
But I left it to

To wonder if we can help them yet
Lets all go out and help the rest
So lets all not stand aside

Singing silence by bleeding it away,
Losing religion but aching to pray.

Gave it to another

Watching werewolves changing
Simply fills me with delight
Yet such splendid beauty
Gives mortal men a fright
How I love the vampires
Such wonders they can share
I often bring them blood
To show I really care
I am a necromancer
A high priest of the eye
Time and space mean nothing
Through both I often fly
What is complicated?
That all I say is true
And half my life is spent
In hiding it from you!

In truth my burdens heavy
And my hurt gives birth to tears

Your touch so deft and true
Making such sweet music
There is no move you rue
Fire bereft of passion
Intensity without pleasure
Weakness and surrender
The qualities you treasure

You know that I am yours
There is no resisting
The fire in dreaded claws
So deep you rip and tear
Such damage you inflict
You laugh to see me crying

The Shore of DreamsLove's unfurling splendorThe Shore of Dreams in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This

Deepest velvet blue
And softest silver light
Thine eyes the liquid pools
In which I float and fall
Lost in sweet enchantment
Thou holds me in thy thrall
Hair so soft and silky
I cannot help but touch
Sweet intoxication
To love thee, oh so much
Lips that softly beckon
The promise of a kiss
Thou my heart has captured
Upon a wave of bliss
Come then my sweet vision
And take this timid hand
On the shore of dreams
With thee I long to stand
The Gallery of LoveIn this crystal riverThe Gallery of Love in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The crimson blooms of pain
Burning in times fire
Love ever leaves a stain
Read the sacred map
Inscribed on every soul
Every mark and blemish
Recalled upon a scroll
Teardrops from a broken heart
The echo of a smile
Every portrait painted
To mark another mile
Riding on a white horse
Or falling in the sea
Blossoms in the wind
What will be, will be
Fragile wings of beauty
Petals that will fall
Wind and rain and sun
Living for them all
The power of love deceiving
Leaves no room for choice
Our hearts will sing its melody
Our souls must give it voice...
I can't belongHave you ever had a breakdownI can't belong in Free Verse More Like This
Seen your world just fall apart
Wished to God you'd die

Figure what your life is worth
Felt so useless and unloved
That you cursed your day of birth

If you can find the strength
Only those who've been there
Will be on my wavelength
That kind of hurt brings changes
It alters everything
Never can you be the same
A different song you'll sing
Some claim it makes you fragile
Others say it makes you strong
I simply have this feeling
That I don't belong

I lay but do not sleep
Waiting for the sunlight
It's dying hour to greet
As the shadows lengthen
My thirst begins to rise
Eyelids slowing moving
I open blood red eyes
Fingers stretch and waken
Being dead is such a blast
Hunting in the moonlight
A sweet and pleasant task
Leaving this dark palace
I dance 'neath silver beams
Merging with the darkness
I listen for your dreams
When at last I find you
My pretty little prize
Haunting music calls you
I love how you comply!

I watch you in your bed
Turning dreams to nightmares

without any single doubt
is my own depressed mind

Deep inside, my scariest thought

My fear is to think and dream
Happy outside it would seem
My fear is not what really did happen
No, my own thoughts are the weapon
Of what the world could do
With my family and with you
It's not the actual action

Never thought it was a fear
It seems I am afraid of change
Finally my mind thinks that's strange
I have embraced change in the past
"Why I did that?" you might ask
it was because life was rough
I was not exactly a grey dove.
People laughed at me all the time.
I seems they thought I'd done a crime,
apparently by just being around
making the wrong kind of sound
Now though, my life is going well
love has cast me in her spell.
I am afraid I could lose it all
And have my life's greatest fall.
I do not want to be afraid,

Break apart my tortured soul
Into the abyss, I fall
Scream for help, I do not dare

Calling out your name
Arms outstretched wearing a wicked smile
You welcome me
