LonelinessCruel day surrendersLoneliness in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
To mists of softest dreams
I hear thy siren song
And walk in silver beams
Blossom rains in moonlight
Soft breeze brings thy caress
Sweet the song of nightingales
All by heaven blessed
In charmed world of wonder
This heart calls out for thee
My lonely, yearning soul
Pleads for what might be
Come then my Cleopatra
And fill this empty life
Wipe away the tears
And end this lonely strife...
The FlowerAching winds of lonelinessThe Flower in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Enfold this empty home
Here I sit in silence
Upon a pointless throne
Ruler of this keyboard
Ensconced before a screen
Living in the ether
And in a world of dreams
No warm and gentle arms
No tender, loving kiss
No sweet words of comfort
How did it come to this?
Is emptiness a mercy
Does sorrow set me free?
The chains of love no burden
If you would hold the key
Beautiful heart please hold me
End this torture with your kiss
Let love take root and blossom
It's flower our perfect bliss
The Poets TaleEchoes roll like mistThe Poets Tale in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Faint stirrings of my heart
How to share these feelings
Or change the things that part
Courage fled so long ago
Self confidence a lie
The hammer blows of life
Made hope curl up and die
And yet within your eyes
Can I truly see a seed
Healing in your bosom
And in the words you bleed
I write in cryptic verse
Revealed like finest wine
In every word and stanza
Your radiant beauty shines
Praying needful prayers
I tell my poets tale
The quest to paint your beauty
And how I ever fail
But more than that my love
I clip my feeble wings
Afraid to say I love you
For all that it might bring...

So my soul believing
Gives love its willful flight
In sweet intoxication
Of your beauty I will write...

Lost in sweet sensations
Till dawn means dreams must die...

The question trick or treat
Arms of gentle slumber
Or chains a soul to keep
Persistent voices beckon
Intent to silence breath
Honey in their calling
To speak so well of death

Do here your echoes dwell
Is this a gate to heaven
Or a vortex bound for hell...

Lips that softly beckon
The promise of a kiss
Thou my heart has captured

Come then my sweet vision
And take this timid hand
On the shore of dreams
With thee I long to stand
My PrayerMy prison cell unseenMy Prayer in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
A bare and lonely place
Echoing with wishes
As tears run down my face
In the silvered mirror
A portrait of regrets
Upon the wall a trophy
For failing every test
Here there is no beauty
No winning truths to see
A legacy of hurt and pain
The sum of what must be
My suitcase of mistakes
So very hard to carry
The past cannot be fixed
However long I tarry
I stand upon the edge
See wonder in the stars
In the world behind me
So many wounds and scars
So sweet rising sun
Full of golden light
Banish please the darkness
And let this day be bright...
Stranger LandsI see it in your eyesStranger Lands in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The bitter truth within
The light of love has gone
So shall the tears begin
The sun that sets and falls
Brings our own curtain down
Fire lost in timeless sea's
That brings a troubled frown
As the heavens darken
So falls the wounded dove
The heart that gave it's all
To know the joy of love
When the crying's over
And hurt has had it's day
I will always love you
Are the simple words I'll say
For this my heart has learned
Journeying through the years
Love, it knows no master
And wisdom's bought with tears
Let us not be bitter
At this our painful end
For all that we have shared
Let's call each other friend
And so I travel on
To dream in stranger lands
Never to forget you
Or the comfort of your hand
Think of me my darling
Travelling lonely roads
Maybe recall the love
That time shall not erode
And in the dreamy nights
Perchance you see my face
Smile in remembrance
At the echoes of loves grace
Power Of LovePower Of LovePower Of Love in Free Verse More Like This
Just like flood in the clouds above
In humans power of love is hidden
That begins to fade with dawn
Both fragile and strong at the same time
And like an eternal torch
It burns within heart where it's welcome
Consumes its home but is never fed
Both fragile and strong at the same time
In humans power of love is hidden
Who's once felt the frost sting
He forever keeps looking for sweet pain
And believes in it from the start
Although every time it just brings disappointment
Time treats the wound bitterly
When there's vigil being held over memory
A short while is nourished with hope
Although every time it just brings

Ubiquitous sense of failure
Drills holes into what was soul
Content, tranquil waterfall
That swallowed both ships and sailors
Moments of true pain brought panic
An acute need to restore
What once was, will be no more
Artificial, anorganic
Indecisive premonition
Blurs the simplest truth's reflex
Leaving blistered faith perplexed
For false prophet's recognition
Arrows wasted on star chasing
Just bare hands for self-defense
Sinner's zeal's the most immense
Eye-corners with wrinkles gracing

I wandered up through clouds above
Marched deep into bottomless sea
To find the missing part of me
Looking for what they label "LOVE"
I asked rocks along dusty road
Pleaded birds flying in blue sky
To help me tell the truth from lie,
Read what lines in a palm do bode
How will taste smooth and tender lips
Those to me still remain unknown?
Answers are leaving me alone
Sundial suffers from eclipse
Maybe love's voice echoes in chest
Like sea does murmur in its shells
When dainty mermaids whisper spells
To make us - castaways - feel blessed

My suitcase got lost
During the last astral travel
Still beauty is the baggage
We all need to bear
My heart keeps longing
For dancing among stars
But I've never flown
A paper aeroplane before
You offer me fuel
Although there's no map
Except for the cryptic signs
Hidden underneath your clothes
Is there anywhere else
To find comforting arms?
Is there a world
Beyond this room's door?
Maybe you're some kind of
Narcotic digression
From the paths been walked
By my aching feet
Like hemlock
That unlocks
Fields full of four-leaf clovers
You take over

You fragile beauty growing near the brook
Don't be mistaken by feathers of rook
To stranger's eyes I appear rather blunt
But in my black chest beats heart valiant
Oh, flower marked with summer's warmest scent
Can't you see how your fate with mine does blend?
To perish upon your petals I crave
This world for me hasn't a sweeter grave

I am a wishing well
Hiding dream's murkiest depths
Born of winter's pure breath
On drifter's wrinkled face
A mayfly's memory
Of warm June afternoons
Those will not ever come
Or vanished much too soon
I am a pearl in mud
A diamond in the dirt
The storm-clock ticking fast
A song you've never heard
High-priestess from the past
Caring for gods' delight
Vow quietly pronounced
In temple of the night
I am a raven's claw
Spirit you'll hardly tame
A Vestal warrior
Healing wounds with a flame
Silent dove's crying eye
Hurts me more than a sword
Stars, mist and foliage
Build my eternal fort

To reveal secrets

Until life will us part
With malevolent confidence
Of the wolf that doesn't need to bother
Looking for sheep's fleece to wear

but my clothes sigh away, dedicated scars raise up from my soul's select,
sadly, my fingertips follow their shape, some prickling from the soul

Slowly, I search for a glimpse of purity in the creases of Passion's skirt,
I cry a crusade of blood when I realize that I am the cause of my hurt,

her somber sceptre is sheathed in ice
and endures the high drama of her Season's
rude passage, softly she ascends upon
snow-laden wings to where a remembrance
of frost lingers upon the naked bud and
bloom, flowers that once hungered for
a bee's honeyed pledge upon their blushing
petals-now sleep and wait for the Day
when they will be adored by the Sun again,
until then all they find in their sweet
slumberous nest is Solitude's tune, echoing
through Winter's pristine bridal boudoir,
it is here that the waning Light loses
and the waxing Night wins.

Quiet and strong

Does he always wait yonder?

Fear has injected itself into your heart, and Rage in your mind. Hurt and Confusion will follow you for the rest of your days if you don't change your ways. Your home is a prison, entrapping me in its grasp and pupating you as the warden. Cold memories continue to haunt you without end, and your mind plunged into madness you scream out at me to ease your pain and never leave you. You sob in my arms and pray for me.

Lucky for me theres someplace to stray, so

Let me introduce myself, self, wishing to be known as

I am what I mean, striving to be more than just some

In the absence of light I fill the dark, in the presence

Creator of hate, division and prejudices,

destroyer of faith, devotion and love,
I have existed since day one and I will

She's a wild and untamed thing

Even if she makes your heart sing

There she goes swaying down the street

She would do it all over if she could

He was the chosen one, his brother done in by the gun
They all called him crazy; his daddy said he was lazy
The crazy one with a loaded gun
He rocked his bod and kissed the rod
The fallen one
His changes were done
Over and over lost and found
His life twisted and spun around
He made his way to the underground
Digging cloths from the bin
He hit the hard streets of London
Trying to drive him home
Was like trying to draw blood from the stone
The exceptional one, a messiah come undone
The cleansing water of life, he plunged in like a knife
The fallen one
His changes were done
Over and over l

not knowing what ills you.
Madder than mad, being in love and
denying what fills you.
Do you know what's better than good,
being in love and being understood.

Broken WingsBy ItalianmareBroken Wings in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
My mind is in a daze
Every day is a foggy haze
All I seem to be doing is
Counting the hours and days
Don't leave me alone
Come, fly me home
Rescue me
Set me free
I watch the days slip past my eyes
As the bird kept in the gilded cage dies
I need to spread my wings and fly
Don't leave me alone
Come, fly me home
Rescue me
Set me free
There's a world out there unknown to me
It's just on the other side of the door
All that's left is to turn the key
Unlocking the way to destiny
Don't leave me alone
Come, fly me home
Rescue me
Set me free
I Dance to the beat of a new drum
No waiting for the next day to com

I heard you were ill.
Don't worry too much, though; just tell me how you feel.
Adrift with no thrill,
With goals to fulfil.
My mental health, suppressed from all the danger
Of being alone; So lonely so!
Of you holding rancor; Shatter!
For my inner peace, I sought after!
Unwittingly utterly flopping, though!
I am looking in the mirror; torn... broken.
Within, from a beating I've awoken.
Hello, dear stranger.
I wish you could heal.

I wrote you last month.
My (trembling) hand...
It threw me off
my... cohesive message.
(it)conveyed the wrong feelings.
Mistakenly, I added a line that didn't belong
(it was so strong)
so futile / subtle
mismatching quotes ;
" " (a blank) ,
between my own words
between me(you)
saturated with incoherency.
(inconsistencies within my longing ; )
bursts of rage fill my retinas ,
