A Light in the Forest

In this forest of lonely tears, The trees grow with the rain, That falls forth from my eyes, Shed out of my pain. And the forest it grows mighty, For it is watered well, For the pain I feel is endless, Like the eternal fires of hell. Now I'm lost in this dark forest, That loosing you has made for...

Lonely

A cold light fills the heavens, Dire despair obscures the sun, And a multitude of grey horses thunder, As across my heart they run. Reality and happiness, Seem aloof and far away, While loneliness and heartache, Seem like they're here to stay. I reach out in the darkness, But my hand can't find the... Sign in to see full entry.

Agenor's Quest. Chapter Two

In which Agenor sets out upon his quest, and comes upon a maiden. Out from his keep he did ride, Sword and shield, his horse astride, His promised vows still kept inside, The quest of Agenor. He ventured forth, spoke his friends name, And each place where they spat the same, He paused and tried to... Sign in to see full entry.

Facade

Here I lie, dressed in dreams, With false hope by my side, Handsome in my loneliness, With naught by emptiness inside. A facade of happiness, Rarely leaves my face, As I stroll through daily meetings, Moving from place to place. But much like a fractured dam, With its integrity in doubt, First just...

Agenor's Quest. Chapter One.

A friend came one day upon my keep, Sorely wounded with cuts deep, And begged me for a place to sleep, The quest of Agenor. He spoke to me in words felt true, Of all the things that he did rue, Then to his room he did adieu, The quest of Agenor. "Now lay me down upon my bed, The final place to which...

Silent Parting

Silent thoughts unspoken, Break live waves upon these walls, A tensioned hush consumes the vault, Of these now vacant halls. Present here, though present not, No words form in the void, Two once one, their binds unknot, Compassion to avoid. Ships slowly drift apart at night, Parting without care,...

Kindred Souls

Kindred souls, their paths do pass, From time to time, from day to day, But fleeting moments and second glances, Quickly die and fade away. How many times in our brief lives, Does one unnoticed pass at night, Leaving us with waking memories, Of untouched dreams at mornings light. How many times do... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Cycle

Start, Growing, Growing slow, Getting bigger, Still much more to go, Reaching toward the blue sky, Stretching to show I'm alive, Budded blossoms begin to form, Seeded children now kept safe from harm, Buzzing companions now finish their task, All is now completed of this seasons work, Turning back...

In Memory

In the garden there sometimes blooms, A very special rose, Admired and treasured by all who see, It's beauty as it grows. And all that touch or see it, Find there lives have been increased, By the love and tender kindness, That this special rose released. But like all things on this earth, A rose...

Being

The wind does blow, And seeds do sow, Where nature points its hand. Some in green fields lay, Neath sunny days, And some struggle in bare land. But each seed grows up as it should, To be a rose, or tall redwood. To be what God intended be, Whether grass or flower, bush or tree. Each one with its... Sign in to see full entry.
