friend, love,
Here I lie in the solace of my bed
Wrapped up in these sheets of grey
Looking out past the frosted glass
Out into the pitch dark of night
Oh the white puffs falling down
Little cotton balls so fluffy
So pure
Blanketing the barren ground
Brightening up the darkened night
Remembering our time together
those little snow ball fights
you putting snow down my back
you're first snow angel
How I want those days back
Here I lie in the solace of my bed
wondering
could you?
would you?
Still be mine
I know it feels right
Only time will tell
if you'll be my snow angel

angst, loss, sad
Close the door and never
think twice.
Love is a gamble.
Inwhich we all roll the dice.
Many dreams are broken under
a moonlit sky.
Yet no word hold the pain
like goodbye.
I rememeber it so very well.
Nights wrapped in passion.
As silent promises as lovers
we tell.
Tressure thoose thoughts
And buty them deep..
take my heart.
For its forever yours to keep.
Still night memeories show so very clear.
They torture thoose thoughts.
that tell me your no longer here.
the brige now burnt stands as a memorial
underneath a starlit sky.
I find solace in the pain.
as all i hear is goodbye.

love,
Crimson's luster illuminates a brilliant bead
satin strokes of beauty a bottle bleeds
scratch softly across this barren chest
and along with moonbeams shall you rest
Silver streaks of goodness held in place
passion's pure pleasure soon will trace
circle past tiny smudges born in haste
where one more night we shan't waste
Starlit moments soar as solace sleeps
dear reflection of radiance forever keeps
in gentle arms of hope true love is staged
consoling promises from battle's waged
Alabaster bursts of heaven gently weave
Another night in comfort we shall receive

love,
A moment in time, frozen in my mind
Vision of beauty,
an angel in my eye
Sunshine sparkling down
Brightening up my cloudy days
Life was on the downturn
spiraling
lost...
out of control
Nights of loneliness. days of false smiles
A few choice words,
consoling my cries
Those killer smiles you gave
Those deep caramelized eyes,
giving solace to my broken heart
Taking my hand,
you lead me from the deep,
into the light.
Upon the next shooting star
To you, I devote my heart.

Moon held and made
bathed-beams of love sonnets
dried by sun's own romantic pledge
of streamed warm rays on love's future solace ~
As days then nights honed my prayers
my pain slow climbed sky stairs
and found you there
Promise

love,
Maples shed their trembling leaves,
the scorch of daylight dies and evening drips
in pools of reddish hue as I bereave the absence
of my heart's desire with saddened, love-lorn lips.
Happiness, a blessing never to be felt again,
slipping from my memory, as distant as the moon;
'neath cloudless skies I roam for miles to look for rain
in search of solace, for my spirit's sorely hewn.
Her gleaming beauty doth illuminate the night,
sets flares to shame, outshines the blushing rose.
I'd trade my soul and halt the oceans in their flight
if only she'd forgive me, put an end to all my woes.

history,
Henry VI and Napoleon were crowned Kings there
A hunchback found his lady fair,
But heartbreak comes to Notre Dame
As she is now in flames
Joan of Arc, whose reputation was maligned
Was beatified there in 1909
But heartbreak comes for Notre Dame
As she is now in flames
The flames have died, the lady stands
She'll be restored and again be grand
Where once, the hunchback, with heart aflame
Found love and solace with this Dame

Seeking the solace in its voice
As it sings and serenades.
Intoxicating wordless sound
Carried along on air currents,
Transforms wind to song.
Mellow notes with breathless voice
Plays like a lovers embrace.
Deep earthy sounds perceived by ear.
Romancing my heart through song,
An alluring sound from the flute.

angel, emotions, fate, grief, lost love,
I wait for you to see me through the night,
for nightmares come and capture me in dread,
I seek from you my solace and your light,
to guide my dreams to paradise instead.
Oh Angel can you wrap me in your wings,
to cradle me in blissfulness to sleep,
and quell my screams so only I will sing,
I hope tonight my eyes can keep from weep.
Sweet Angel pray with me I'm in the dark,
this place I'm lost and wishing I was blind,
my love has died I'm feeling pretty stark
in madness from the visions in my mind.
Oh Spirit be my guide to Heaven's gate,
and sate my heart my lover does await.

love
He can't reach her.
His fingers never
brushed her skin in the rain
and yet she ripples.
Just one smile,
two eyes and a soul that
breathes solace like lillies
into her existence.
She feels herself
unfolding like a butterfly
against the memory of
what hasn't happened.

He did not love her, yet she adored him.
For the naive soul who fell all alone,
Ablaze with a fiery yearn for him,
Her Fondness met with a heart of cold stone.
Wept as the fire died, saw embers of him.
The embers burnt black, and she became scarred.
Discovered merely hatred within him,
The truth was unveiled and her heart was charred.
To be lonely in love is to suffer,
No solace in solitude it is grim,
Dreams are lonely with only one owner,
She wants to share her dream of love with him.
To love him, to love you, is all I ask
Let my heart find peace and remove my mask.

Poetry of Love
Suspended in the infinity of the universe
amongst the billions of stars in the firmament,
I find solace knowing that
neither time nor space can overcome
the kinship of our perfect poetry.

The world needs amazing love,
The world needs surpassing love,
The world needs redeeming love,
A love that can bring healing,
A love that can bring support,
A love that can give solace,
The love that was shown by Christ,
A love that gives it's all,
To make a better place for all,
A love that can move mountains,
A love that works wonders,
A love that is infectious,
That brings innumerable followers,
To bring heavenly joy.

devotion, love, passion, love, me,
To see the sparkle in your eyes
A ever so magnificent ember of light in which
I am blinded in the wake...
They are perfection amongst comparison of
such others...
Eyes that reflect such transposed emotion
yet always fixed with love and devotion
Your eyes are to me what I imagine as reaching
a true state of solace
Your love always creating hope out of desperation
You are to me a great source of inspiration, always
proving your loyalty to me
We shall begin our destiny of two in love together
forever in all eternity...

As powerful as an army
As delicate as a flower
You gave me your heart
And I trampled it to powder.
You deserve to be cherished
You deserve to be loved
How could I have done this
To my beloved.
You are such an inspiration
To everyone you know
Instead of holding you back
I should have helped you grow.
I don't know what the future holds
But I pray daily for your solace,
And I want you to know
That you are a goddess.

dark, deep, depression, desire,
Oh my dear, I do see your silhouette;
Sad as it seems your tears steadily drip,
crashing to the floor but oh so quiet.
My love, I do fret I cannot quite rip this
puppeteer of pure pain behind your eyes.
“Come closer my love,” but she stood quite still.
Though the tears become puddles as she cries,
the dark fears cannot break desire’s will.
Oh how her shadow now fades glowingly,
broken promises pry pleasure from pain.
She smiles finally and, knowingly
in her eyes no more tears; her sky no rain,
for she’s found solace in realizing
the grace of having a heart still beating.

Rest, darling
I will tend to those weary eyes
With sweet, soft kisses
Until with slumber your lashes fall heavy
Worry not, my love
Let my words fill your mind
Caress every troubling thought
Until they fade away into darkness
Lie still, my dear
All you need is the comfort of my voice
Drink in the solace of each whisper
As secrets find rest softly beneath your skin
Breath in
As I lay myself to rest
Forever inside your heart
Relish the love pulsing through your veins
Have peace, my love
Tonight we need only to be
Two hearts, two minds
Beating as one
Savor this warmth
It is for but a moment
And flees in a breath of wind

love,
He couldn't take his eyes off her
as pink blushed in his deep alluring stare.
Sentiments suffused in delicate dance,
vibrations pulsed relentless in veins.
Calm muted moon, in cloudless sky,
ebullient dewdrops in hypnotic trance
Begins an envoy, infinite, endless...
as white noise around, bring grace solace.
A name of love, whimpers in silence.
A kiss said it all,.... what was left unsaid.

Happiness is a fleeting moment of bliss, when I long for your summer soulful kiss.
Awaiting the day our paths may entwine, away from life's, to where love can shine.
I dream of the peace only you can bestow in your glow, I find solace, where wildflowers grow.
Amongst the sizzling sunrays that dance on my skin.
I yearn for the warmth of those days once again.

O Lord, O my God, I praise You
and I always will,
I have bowed to You
Just protect me from the devil!
On the last day of my life
I ask you to stay in my heart
and make me feel fear
of your immortal power!
Please forgive all of my sins
that I had already done.
God, You are only one
who can save all of my kins.
God we love you more than others
'Cause You have given us our lives.
God, make me happy always
and take away my sadness.
I wouldn't make myself cry again
Lord, give me some solace
and cure all my pain
with Your mercy and kindness!

fate, heartbroken, relationship, sad, sad love, true love, violence,
In quiet corners where no one sees,
Two hearts find solace, though love's not free.
A gentle touch, a fleeting smile,
In a world that deems their love a trial.
Their love, a secret they must protect,
From judging eyes and harsh neglect.
They hold each other in the dark,
Wishing the world would warm to their spark.
They dream of days without disguise,
Where love can live beneath open skies.
But for now, they whisper and wait,
Holding tight to a love the world won't celebrate.

silence,
It was neither empty nor hollow
Why was it named thus I never knew
Enchanting midnights
Hopeful dreams
Unspoken solace
Hushed screams
Haunting fears
Lost places
Unremoved scars
Undefeated battles
Nostalgic innocence
Regained spirit
Undying faith
Lonely victories
Joyous defeats
Whispered lullabies
Cocooned love
Saw everything
Remained with everyone
Who named it silence?

Sailing the seas of life, we find ourselves adrift, carried away with no compass or map to guide our way.
Our bodies, two vessels destined for collision on the jagged cliffs of the fray, ensnared by death’s velvet chains bound our amatory embrace.
Shipwreck that leaves us both in the auroral abyss, lachrymose tide drops two ebb us away, but we chose not to fade.
I’ll hold you sapphire sanctuary of solace,
living or stuffed euphrosyne, my ensnared.
Our kiss connects, waves dissolve, waxen effigy
surrendering its form, boundaries blurring ravenous hunger for kisses pulled us through the thunderstorm.
Beloved, promise me, you won’t let go.

Heaven

What heaven is this silence
Such solace from the world
No one's energy clouding
Everything that I behold
And all that I sense and feel
Is such beauty in its clarity
Loving all these moments
With such wonderful alacrity
What heaven on this Earth
What joy and happiness
I can feel the angelic tingles
Of my soul living its best
And all that I know and love
Is with me in this time
Linked by our silver threads
And our soul connections divine
