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
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
Waiting (old poem)
Someone’s out there
Looking for me
There has to be
Even when it seems
A Higher power has it in for me
I’ll be patient
I can wait
For true happiness
I will wait
