sun has gone , it slips so deep
Darkness has begun its creep
swallowing bits and chunks of land
It grasps the nite with its dark cold hand
Fading everything that is good and bright
and and taking it all away from sight.

“Untitled Love Poem”


How can I say
The words that need saying
When you won’t stop playing
The games that you’re playing

Who can I turn to
When you are gone
I don’t enjoy this feeling
Of being alone

Tenders words I spoke
Falling on deaf ears
Brave intentions where once
There were fears

Still I don’t want you to leave
Please do stay
Sit down and listen
To the words that I say

I still love you now
More than ever before
I forever wait for you
To walk through the door

Hey baby, I’m home
A phrase I long to hear
And a sweet smile
As you hold me so near

Say something, please
Don’t stand there not talking
Turn away from the door
That you are walking

Please just have a rest
Say what you’re thinking
Talk to my heart nonstop
Without ever blinking

I can not help but love you
I know I’ve tried
Even though it hurts
And real tears I’ve cried

Say one more time
That you still love me
I need to hear it once more
Even if dishonestly

Tell me once more
Before you walk out the door
That you really care
Even though it’ll be lies like before

I need to hear it really
Just one more time
And to feel your body once more
Closely hold mine

Then we can part
And be on our ways
And live apart
For the rest of our days

“Your love”


Sit for a moment
Tell me what is wrong
Listen to my poem
Sing your heart a song

Words never soft enough
To tell you how I feel
This heart is ever growing
From the love inside that’s real

The deepness of the universe
Never could contain
All the caring inside of me
Forever will it sustain

A touch upon your beautiful face
I hope to reach your soul
And light inside a fire for you
To burn wildly out of control

No need to extinguish the flames within
Feel the burning in your heart
And know that I burn for you also
Let’s let love do it’s part

Forever is not long enough
That I will be true
For your’s is the truest love
My heart has ever knew

Infinity is a word to use
For my trust and faith in you
And your eyes speak so lovingly
As you love me through and through

Together we will walk this Earth
Two hearts melted into one
And by your side I’ll forever reside
Until our time on Earth is done

"Dream"


Can I show you the planets
Can I give you the stars
The universe before your eyes
The distance not that far
Would you like to see the world
The beauty of the lands
Join me and we’ll see all it is
Gently clasp my hand

We can explore the bottom of the ocean
Or the tops of the mountains
The Roman coliseum
Or the Las Vegas resort fountains
Travel in a black hole
Drink from the constellations
Visit any place you wish
Outer space or different nations

Anything you wish to see
All you have to do ask
I will fulfill your every wish
And do your every task
I can give you happiness
Or bring you demise
All that you have to
Is rest your sleepy eyes

Join me if you will
On a journey of fantasy
Where everything that you can wish
Your mind will see
You can shout with joy
Or from fear you can scream
All you have to do to live it all
Is close your eyes and dream

The rise of fallen heroes,
like the warmth of the winters sun
Angels gather,slowly moving in silence
Hell,earth and sky become as one

Building bodies from ashes,
to where time and memory collide
Voices of victory sweeps the land
In triumph,our brothers rise

Riding up on the horses from hell,
the pounding of hooves did shake the earth
Blood and steel,broadsword armour and shield
ships of the lost souls meet land and dirt

A day thunder broke the sky
A reign of bodies will cover the fields
Like burning embers falling through the night
this day all our wonders revealed

Scorched by dragons fire,demons scatter in rage
On the bridge of life and death,
this is the day we break the chains

The ground breaks and the graves are open
spirits fall from the skies like rain
The third dimension meets hell,life and fantasy
The armies of the world strikes in battles rage

Collectively we'll live as immortals
or we shall all die as one
The hands of doom are reaching out
breaking land and water,conquering fire and sun

find something inspiring and let it scream
feel it slip through your fingers while you dream
ebbing and flowing like a stream
out in the tides under a moon beam
if you can see the waters
you can watch it gleam.

I have only writen ONE poem in my whole life... so here it goes:

Loves Wish

Sharing love and happiness
meant everything to me.
The times I needed someone most
was when you came to me.

You shared with me you dreams, your hopes.
You opened up your heart.
But distance was our enemy
From the very start.

Thoughts of you were always
In my wishes and my dreams.
But overcoming all the hardship
Isn't as easy as it seems.

Just wishing you were with me
was my favorite thing to do.
The miles seemed to fade away
But just wishing never helped us two.

I hope that life will give to you
The best things that it can.
Life is what you make of it
every hope, dream and plan.

Love to me is special
Your special to me too.
Promise me you won't forget
I'll love you forever true.

Words Reborn

A letter came to me today,
From a woman far away.
The words that I do hold dear.
Speak to her if she is near.

It gave me hope,
It gave me life,
It gave me strength,
It let me write.

I know not when,
I know not where,
If we meet,
Is all I care.

A simple man,
Is who I am.
With simple desires,
And simple plans.

I plan to find a lady true,
Who can see these eyes of blue!
The smile she has is so strong,
It breathes new life into his song.

He has searched for one like her,
To wake his heart and eyes a blur.
He has not written the song he writes,
Until the time he knows is right.

His words of life,
And all he knows.
Were gone away
Till this lady shows.

He knew that someday,
His life would change.
A smile from her,
His life arranged.

When two souls of like kind meet,
A kiss, a hug, a touch to greet
A spark of light some do feel,
A fire roars when it is real.

I am glad my words do say,
To speak of love from far away.
I know not if what I do,
Is right today they feel true

I only speak what I do feel,
Time will tell if it is real.
I will wait until the day,
That this Lady shows the way.

I hope that someday soon we meet,
To see her smile so strong and meek.
To see her smile from deep inside
Someday soon it may be mine.

Beauty is more than just the eye Its
something that hides deep in side If its
something that you can find Don't ever, ever
leave it behind

If you should and you can't get it back
Someone else will take up the slack
because beauty like that is a rare trait
And to the lucky its a wonderful Fate

Waiting...

You called and said you were on your way
But you didnt show, just as I suspected-
For ten years now you've had a way
- With making me feel neglected.

Its been awhile since we were in love,
And I have watched you shrink away-
From the outgoing man I met
You become more reclusive every day.

My words can no longer reach you,
Your heart if full of fear-
And all I can do is helplessly watch
For you only hear what you want to hear.

Bury your self so deep in your work-
Theres so time left for anything else
And you run so fast I cant keep up
And you'll be all alone with yourself.

One day you will look around,
ANd everything will be lost
You cut yourself off and everyone left
And now your are counting the cost.

You wont interact,The risk is too great
Playing your cards so close to the vest;
Theres so much you want to say
But you wont get it off your your chest.

You hate the lonilness that haunts you
It all becomes very degrading,
But thru it all I still hope for you
That I have the strength to keep waiting.

These poems I see,from you and lonely me,
made me cry,as we try to reach our sky,
it starts,from good hearts,and sweet dreams you see,
to dance romance and rhymes,for True you and me,
please dance this romance and times for True WE,
Sing our song,sweet sing along,
and my true heart you'll see,
dance this romance with me,

For I am just a Lonely Knight,
slay th' Dragons,of loves fight,
kill not fair maiden,
fear not,my heart Leaden,
'tis heavy with thought,
for True You I've sought,
in my sweet dreams of you,
my heart has room for only YOU,
as I sit under my tree,
my lonely soul waits for you to see,
and only MY goal's, for us to BE WE..............M.

Hear My lonely Call...

without her light,I'm just lost,
without her loving sight,I'm lost,
without you,hearts delite,I've lost,
without MY words,you would not have melted'
for if not my hearts glow,
you would still be cold,I Warmed You,
my words,coaxed you,write for me true,
without my love you would be frozen,
I melted you,with my hearts glow,
and heat of my passion,you thawed true,
you were confused from th'start,stay,
you were confused about your hearts, way...

as I so lonely await your lonely fall
,,,hear my Lonely Heart call.............M.

deep in sleep I weep try to keep not steep or heap and reap ,I will not
leap.
And so I weep in my deep sleep
as I live in a heap
I will slowly creep
I must not leap!
