The Amaranth Poet
A poem for and inspired by my friend Candiceemoe

Nights of tears
Dreams of fears
No escape
Misery drape

Mind in pain
Living bane
This my strife
Unloving life

A shattered soul
That wants to become whole
A desire growing so strong
It will consume before too long

A heart so pure
And a simple cure
A gentle and loving touch
A single rose could mend so much

The Search

Who are you
You fill my dreams
Are you real
My search begins

When I first saw you my heart flew
The feelings are real or so it seems
One day we will share a meal
And you will forgive all my sins

The dreams so vivid
But unable to remember
Once I awake
The feeling is all I have

It makes me livid
But without a doubt you are my mender
My pain away you will take
Your love being a purist salve

This feeling of love
The beauty you hold
Is worth any trial
Worth any test

By the gods above
No promise to bold
I’ll travel any mile
I won’t settle for second best

I know you’re out there
Somewhere waiting
I will find you
I’ll honor this oath

This love we share
Is of divine making
Together we’ll imbue
Eternal love for you and me both

Love Lies Bleeding

They say time heals all
But it has been several long years
Why did I have to fall
Far too many nights of tears

I lay here with my wound open
A stream on the floor
Regret for what was spoken
Creeping towards the door

Amaranth pain
Heart once bold
You were truly my bane
My heart now cold

I wish I didn’t love you
So I wouldn’t hurt
Closing this wound is all I wish to do
Then this distress I could advert

Missing

Missing

Something’s missing
I don’t know what
Everything is as it was
I feel the same
Except something’s missing

In my dreams
What’s gone is there
But once woken
Its gone once more
And once more unknown

Dream Girl

Dream Girl

The girl of my dreams is like my dreams

When I’m with her I’m relaxed and comfortable

I can be who I really am

I don’t have to run and hide

When I’m with her everything is fun

Even something such as sleeping

And when I lose sight of you I am

She reminds me

You’re, you

That’s all that you are

That’s all you have to be

That’s why I love you

Love Letter to Nobody

Thinking of you makes my heart race
My mind can’t keep pace
I see you when I close my eyes
And my heart just flies
I want nothing more than to hold you all night
You are my shining light
To kiss you softly the greatest joy
Wishing no longer to be coy
I never want to be apart
I love you with my heart

Desire

I want to be loved for who I am

I don’t want the relationship to be a sham

Love must be freely given

And the heart truly driven

Caring for each other day and night

Love shining brighter than any light

Nothing will ever feel so right You’re, you and that’s all you need to be

And I’m loved for me

One day this dream will come true

No matter what I have to do

We’ll have all we want

Never needing to flaunt

Where are you?

A loving touch
A sincere smile
A honest word
A compassionate soul

Is that so much
I’d go any mile
But stuck at the curb
Trapped in a hole

Genuine love
Pure heart
Clever mind
The beauty with in

Nothing shall be above
Nothing shall keep us apart
You I promise to find
My 100% perfect woman

Trying to Move On

A year since my sin
And my heart still caved in
Betrayed by the one I held most dear
My deepest and greatest fear
My wounds still bleeding
My mind still seething
My heart still shattered
You were all that mattered
Now my pain consuming
Forever looming
I want to heal
I want to feel
I want to trust
I don’t want heart turned to dust

Natural Beauty

Nature’s beauty is all around

A beauty that is unbound

With this beauty you have been endowed

You bring joy to those you meet

A serenity that can’t be beat

An energy that makes one complete

But all I can do

Is wish to be with you

For that would be a dream come true
