DeviouslyPoetic

As I wander through the shadows Where darkness looms and I do see A figure nears; hark, it bellows "I hear footsteps that near me!" When he approaches on his guise A mask is donned to hide his pain "I walk alone," do say his eyes "And so alone I must remain" With voice as gentle as I dare "This pain," I say, "that you must bare "It's surely more than one can stand "So please do take hold of my hand "I'll take each step right here with you "Together we shall see this through"

There's a shadow cast upon the wall, From the TV that drones mindlessly, ignored; Forlorn and forgotten, a face hangs. Perhaps, one day, I shall see whose shadow is cast, But every time I turn my head the shadow passes.

Gone are the nights of restless sleep; Unencumbered slumber but memories to keep As I count sheep to a higher number. Struck by the arrogant light of dawn; Reprehensibly sensible, I utter a yawn And mourn the rising of dawn so ineffable.

My love, whose heart shall be at rest,  Drew in last breath within her sleep;  My soul, forever, hers to keep, Beneath silken cloth and fading breast. But as her body turns to dust,   Angels sing out beyond my ear;   And though I shed a single tear, My mind has shadowed, burnt with rust. Whilst I sit to rue, lament,  Sweetest nectar numbs the pain;  The devil softly speaks my name, But it is too late to repent; By now my sins have grown too far, And define the name of who you are.

I've closed my eyes on wishes lost,  For it's not where I've found my dream;  For dreams to me have come to mean Not looking back on bridges crossed. Have I found it in ocean's breeze,   Or warming light where life begins?   Is it in touch as soft as sin, Or in the song of rustling trees?  I've found through open heart and sole,  Through breathing lips that made me whole,    And trembling voice before the moon;    Not passing year's could make me swoon,  Nor hope itself shall be to blame,  My future lies beside your name.

Silently, whilst I wept And through the shadows that I crept I found I fell passed your embrace Through which I've seldom slept I washed the tears from off my face And felt the subtle touch of grace But it's too late for my sunrise To lead me from this place And so the world I shan't surprise Nor slip from under my disguise But all the secrets I have kept Shall quicken my demise

Beneath thine shadowed eyes and misty hearts breath  And over thine supple breasts trickle delicious sweat drips; Mine fingers trace thine skin as soft as soft as death  To taste thine anguish fraught within thy lips. Thine heart, thine heart bereft with such remorse   Over thy painful loss of touch to memories so sublime; Thine actions are reminder of thy vocals leaving coarse   But it is thy heart I feel that's left thee so divine.  And oh, the touch of shimmering locks of auburn gold    Do mark upon the languid lips that dance across my eyes,  I draw breath of delectable aromas thou hath told    Just to arc mine back and let thy

The nightly, amazing phone calls While watching the same tv shows. I'm on one end cross-stitching You're on the other doing latch hook. Enjoying each others company While we talk, laugh and play Marco Polo. It's a great way to end any day, I don't think I'll ever run out of things to say. You're truly amazing to me, I don't think my smile will ever go away.

A connection built on years, We know each others fears. We've been there for each other, Many, many times over. I've hurt you yes its true, But in all honesty, I love you. I knew it was starting awhile ago, These feelings I choose to forgo. I tried to ignore them but its futile, For you, I honestly would go the mile.

The love I know. The love I want. One in the same, One is not sought. I tried looking, I tried and failed. My heart was open, My heart was jailed.
