Poems; written by me
Night Above all Nights
Well here I am
My thoughts drift to you
The look on your face
When I stole your sweet kiss
Your squeal of rage and delight
Fire blazed in your eyes
Craving more yet refusing to admit
Shyness sweet
Encouraging as you struggle
To succumb or not
Fighting with the thought
Repulsing my embrace crossed your eyes
Yet softened you became as you snuggled in
A night I will never forget
Dreams of you tonight while I slumber
Of the next time I will see you again
What I Wouldn’t Do
The nights are long when you’re not here
Lack of your presence darkens my way
Without you life feels so drear
One glimpse of your smile brightens my day
Visage of your face melts away the snow
Hearing your song is the zenith of my existence
A songbird is a flame unto the sun when measured to your voice
You are the one who invades my inner dreams
Pleasant though the intrusion is I awake full of sorrow
I would climb the highest mountain at a chance to come upon you
Swim the ocean at a rumor of your presence
For now I hold you in my heart
Until again you come back to me
Failure of my Action
A night lit by a single star
I gazed upon her from afar
Touched by her beauty and her grace
Darkness gone by her smiling face
Her voice rings across the trees
Long hair flowing she seems so free
Unknown to me the bars of steel
For her she knows how cold they feel
Undarkened her spirit she continued to sing
My greatest dream to give her my ring
From a distance though I heard her song
Slipping forever till she was gone
Night Envisage
The snow falls down upon your blushing face
The wind blowing through your hair
A beautiful girl with flushed cheeks
The moonlight illuminating your glowing face
Your voice so tender it makes me weep
To hold you in my arms feeling your warmth through my touch
Your lips ruby red, firm, mischievously inviting
Whispering my name, daring me to rise for the kiss
This night I wish would last forever
Alas, you are only in my dreams
Beauty of the Field
In my mind’s eye I see your vision of beauty
To hear you voice I would lasso the moon
Delicate as the notes of a harp
Pure as the mountain snow
The scent of a field of roses
Sweet, alluring, driving the hearts of men to sway
Eyes so deep, brooding yet full of life
Reflecting an inner strength laced with passion
Drawing in all who gaze into them
Reflecting your every mood
Hair like rays of sunlight, flowing in the wind
Dancing over your shoulders, cascading down your back
Slender like the willow tree, beautiful and full of grace
Your step light, nary disturbing a leaf
To hold you in my arms would be my ecstasy
Daughter of the meadow, of you I dream
Haunting Nights
What is this thing called love
Why does it haunt me
Why does it invade my inner thoughts
Will I ever be able to be in the quite without her face coming into my sight
Will I ever have my heart stop fluttering?
Its like I have no control
All I think of is her
Try and destroy and it only hardens
Will I ever sleep again?
I’m not sure it is pain that I feel
Only a sadness from deep within my soul
I only wish I knew what to do
If only I knew I had a shot
I would take it
Even if it meant I might fall
It would be worth the risk
For only one chance
My Thoughts Betray Me
My thoughts betray me this night
Feelings beyond what was known
I feel weak inside
Weakness above my strength
Strength that is required of me
This path is darkened and unclear
No light can I see
Steps are shaky and slow
Slipping is my curse
Cursed to fall and skin my knee
Knees weak from countless falls
Bruised and pained are they
Pain my constant thought
Far too used to it am I
Betraying this pain is
Sleep, or Lack Thereof
Sleep.
It eludes me tonight.
Again my thoughts drift to her.
She tore my heart out.
Still I miss her lovely face.
Depart I must from that train of thought.
Pain is all it brings.
Forget my first love I know not how.
Yet I must or my soul will break.
