Are they poems of the day? or of the dark? who can tell?


Dreaming

Would that my night’s dreams were filled with you
Visions of loveliness and the things I’d do
To your body and even more to your soul
I’d bring you ecstasy; I’d make you whole.

But my nightly dreams are filled with dark
Haunting visions and landscapes stark.
It’s only by day that I see your grace
And I can envision your sweet embrace.

Save me, love, bring me peace.
Bring to me sweet surcease.
I beg of you to give me nights
Where I only see thy sweet delights.
 
If only someone would write words of love to me like that, I would die a happy woman... *sigh*

Beautiful, just beautiful, SS you never cease to amaze me with your talent. Please never stop!

Suddenly

Suddenly they are gone,
A hole in our lives.
We thought we knew where they fit,
How our lives were knit …
Suddenly they are gone.

Loved beyond measure …
They just were.
Always there, always loved.
A dependable fact of our lives.
Loved beyond measure …

Where did they go?
Why? Why are they gone?
The answer is hidden.
Tears well unbidden.
Where did they go?

The love remains.
Of those we took for granted.
Never thought they would leave.
Could not bear to perceive.
The love remains.

I never said goodbye
Never thought I needed to
Now you are gone
I hide from the dawn.
I never said goodbye.

I love you.
I never said it enough.
Can’t believe you have left.
This sudden theft …
I love you.

I will never know
Your final thoughts.
What were our final words?
Now always unheard …
I will never know.


To TantaLiza ... to anyone who has lost a loved one so quickly

Unfinished II

You are a world away from me this night.
And I wish that I could be with you.
You are special, in ways that require insight
You bring my heart to a special rendezvous.

I have witnessed your words so faint and hard,
Talking about life that brings such pain.
Nothing is easy and so many things scarred,
When love is so challenged, and life is a bane.

Yet within your soul is a fire so bright,
A conviction that leads to a fiery light!
You are special in ways that frighten me so,
Before which I am brought so incredibly low.

for someone quite special ...
 
My Other Half

How do I utter the words that I feel?
Cluttered as they are in life that is complex and so utterly real?
I would say these things to you free and clear,
Instead of purchased by compromises so chillingly dear.

You are more to me than you will ever know
Save if life throws a curveball, an alternate flow …
I want you in ways I never can say
Your heart calls to me, sweet love, sweet divorcee.

How do I reconcile these views so diverse?
Are they really feelings perverse?
I don’t think they are, but how do I seek
The solution oblique?

Damned

Light shadows all I do
My life, my hopes, all I hold true
Would you be a light in my darkness?
Would you save me, when I dream of the fates?

Light is the answer, it is all that I need
Sometimes it comes like darkened steed
That rides ‘ore the moors and leads on to the dark.
The path of the truth leads on through the straights.

Guide me sweet lady, ethereal queen
‘twixt the dark markers and so in between,
the path of the righteous and the doom of the damned
and so to your love and marvelous traits.
 
I'm with EL... your words definitely have the capacity to make tingles invade the body!!

(((((SS)))))

Eric

Eric the red
That name of dread
Haunted the dream
Of a vagrant moonbeam

Time was a passion
A perpetual fashion
To those who cared
And to those who dared.

Who will dare the face that is ashen?
Who will confront what is more than their ration?
Who will demand that their life be recognized
And their lonely treatment be … equalized?

I know the one who is facing a task,
Who is facing a choice she never wanted to ask.
Lord give her the strength, the resolve, the fight,
To seek for herself, to seek what is right.

SS

Just a note to tell you how beautiful and touching each word of your poetry is.

Thank you for sharing it :)
 
God Damn it all to Hell

I wish my mind would settle down
And focus on just one thing,
Or maybe just a few you know,
Instead of taking wing.

My mind is cluttered.
My heart is too.
There’s too much there
I’m missing the glue
That should hold the line
And keep me true.

But why should I bitch?
Moan and complain?
It’s ever been like this,
My personal bane.

I’ve too much on my mind
And my thoughts are muddle stew.
If ever I refine it down
Then I’ll just find something new!
Ever and on, this is my way
I’m a little weird … and quite askew!
 
If you're wierd and askew, then I don't know anyone that isn't.
You have to be the kindest and most caring man I've ever had the pleasure to know SS. (((hugs))) & :kiss: 's
 
Loss

Why is there no emotion to cloud my senses?
Why does day follow day with no consequences?
It feels like I exist in a never-ending moment
That stretches into the future ever so inclement.

Today is like yesterday and here comes tomorrow,
Most likely unchanged, to my great sorrow.
When you can’t find the walls, how do you break out?
The silence is leaden, muffling my shout.

Alone.
The cocoon winds it’s way tighter about.
Silence.
I wonder if I’ll ever get out?
