Angel

A cry in the night
A lone man sings
A heart wrenching sound
An Angel clipped of her wings

A tearing of the soul
A tear streaked face
A heart lying broken
An Angel in disgrace

A lover absconded
A lover scorned
A beauty bereft
An Angel unadorned

A darkness encroaching
A numbing of the heart
A deadening of the soul
An Angel torn apart

Moon Song

The clouds drift in the evening sky
The crescent Moon is alight
Stars shimmering against an indigo backdrop
The world aglow with the coming of night
A vision in blue perches gently on the Moon
Long ebony hair clasped behind her ear
Her pale full lips are parted in song
Her voice, like bells, ringing clear
Her song is one full of heartbreak and woe
Not a single moment of mirth
Pain expressed in a haunting tale
As crystalline tears fall to the Earth
Nightly she sits there mourning her lover
Her dear friend, whose soul did depart
Never again will she see his face
Though his memory lives on in her heart

Loss

The young girl stares straight ahead
Eyes seeing nothing, her heart is filled with dread
Her stomach is full of butterflies ,as the adrenaline floods her veins
She doesn’t know what to think even, her head is full of pain
She takes her seat in the waiting room, her turn she’s sure is next
She has this sinking feeling right in her very chest
The nurse calls out her name and she jumps a little with fright
Her memories all come flooding back, all images of that night
She takes her clothes off gingerly and steps into the hospital gown
She turns around to face the bed and slowly lays herself down
Her heart is thumping through her chest, her soul is dying inside
Never has she felt this way as hot tears she tries to hide
The doctor walks into the room, not even glancing her way
Its just another job to him, another client who’ll pay
Her legs are spread before him, humiliation to add to pain
The nurse looks at her briefly as though wanting someone to blame
Her world shrinks and shimmers as the sedative pulses in her blood
Her future is suddenly ripped from her with only a little flood
She wakes to find it over, her aching belly a void
She puts her hands upon her heart, her world forever destroyed.

Lovers

Lovers sighs
Lovers groans
Lovers kisses
Lovers moans
Lovers meet under pale moon
Lovers embrace will end too soon
Lovers hands reach out to touch
Lovers eyes say so much
Lovers need no words spoken
Lovers need no earthly token
Lovers hearts entwined together
Lovers need goes on forever
Lovers parting is bittersweet
Lovers know they’ll never meet

Freedom

She steps onto the sand
As her eyes sweep across the sea
She knows she is happy
She knows she is free
A cool wind caresses her soul
As it softly lashes her hair
Her thoughts are pure and bright
And for darkness she doesn’t not care
For when she’s with these things she loves
The earth, the stars, the sky
The moon she loves so very much
Such beauty makes her cry
Her tears are not for sadness
Nor are they for pain
Her tears are for all joyful things
And are never shed in vain

Step Back, Not Away

Step back but not away
I’ll not move from this spot
As all the world around me
Crumbles and eventually rots

Step back but not away
I’ll be there to take your hand
Should you reach for me in darkness
You know I’ll make a stand

Step back but not away
As I give you room to see
That the world is even smaller
When there is no longer me

Step back but not away
So afraid of what’s inside
These testimonies of love
To bolster my torn pride

Step back but not away
I’ll wait for you my dear
And when you come back to me
I’ll no longer live in fear

Indecision..

Keep your hands away from me
Just leave me the hell alone
Keep your comments to yourself
As my pain comes out in a groan
Leave me here to cry alone
Hot tears they are my friend
Let the pain come gushing out
Just let me try to mend
Wait! Don’t go
I need you here by my side
Wrap your arms around me tight
I no longer want to hide
Scoop me up into your arms
And carry me to my bed
Brush my tears off my face
As you gently cradle my head
Kiss away my weakness
Love me until I’m whole
Hold me tightly to your chest
Love me with all your soul
