Philip's in a black poetry mood

How can we save our soul? Is this our one life’s goal? To reach an Eden hard to find, Perchance it’s easier for peace of mind. Could we but retain our youth? Ne’er to hate or be uncouth, Never to have loved or thought, To lie, to cheat, or to have thought. Never to have made a choice, And in wrath... Sign in to see full entry.

Standing before me His sword in hand, The finest swordsman In this land. My dearest friend So straight and tall, Tis he she loves Above men all. Watching silently A rose in her hand, The finest lady In this land. My dearest love My fate on her breath, Will she turn her back? And await my death. The... Sign in to see full entry.

I have seen the shadows Chasing moonbeams in the rain White roses in a garden Cry out from human pain. Dreams dashed to pieces In a storm of a sleepness night And the eyes of a million people Pray for the gift of sight. Maybe I have seen to much In a world that can’t forgive I’ll pack my bags of...

Feeling down, feeling gray, feeling up, feeling gay, Feeling, that your ship is passing you by. Want to laugh, want to cry, Want to live, and want to fly, Feeling nothing is there when you sigh.

Trousers stained because you had no choice, And in your hand you cradle there, Your child, unborn, a nation’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Young Girl of Sixteen Sleeping peacefully. Their breathing in gentle rhythm, With the morning breeze, Drifting softly through the half drawn blinds. The two of them. In their silent world, They lay in a cocoon, Of tranquil starlight, Which shares their dreams of a pleasant memory. The two of them.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Watcher If my love could see me now As I traverse the land and sea Looking down upon the earth On the girl who once loved me. If I were of mortal flesh, And on the earth alive My years would number twenty eight, And hers, just twenty five. Her heart belongs to another now His child, to be born... Sign in to see full entry.
