Salvation.You need not walk in darkness,
I will set alight the world.

Thou Shalt Not Commit--have you ever been in the bed of a committed lover
when someone else's name is on your tongue,
and you saw him yesterday: that wallflower who drove
your patience past its limit, whose waiting hand
stretched you to the lengths of your intimacy until you cried
mercy? the man who loved your every interest, craved
the workings of your ideology, sought after your pacing mind
more than he ever witnessed your lust? and you think,
if i had been a more stable person then, i would be talking
the first words of my guilt: debilitating the trust
which does not come so easily but he wanted every broken
piece of it, sat around the edges of conversations whe

Once MoreSoft satin caresses, sweet lips touch,
sending heat down my spine. Fingers
intertwine, brushing mouth, cheeks,

hair, leaving nothing behind. Desire
controls, your lust craving more,
hiding the picture. Moving lips

show mind’s hunger, representing
wavering ways. Sick of twisted motives,
such childish play, now say her name

once more, rekindling blazing flames.
Red drops of passion puddle upon floor,
draining white fingertips damp, speak

once more. Deepen fresh wounds
with twisted smiles. Say her name
once more, I dare to hear such sounds.

If not, hold your tongue, your eternal
peace, and never move those lips from mine.

Kiss the NightI have lost my heart to the man who wears black
His eyes tore my soul from my mind
A kiss in the dark and I was lost
One touch and my world became the night
He took my hands and we caught the falling stars
He held me as we painted the midnight sky
His love glows soft and true like the moon
My name is sacred prayers on his lips
I have lost my heart to the King of the Night
And my longing for him is eternal

Door Bell (Oftentimes)Oftentimes my door bell rings
I slowly open up the entryway
to Anger waiting anxiously, alone
but these days I just shut him out
don't need him inside my house -
more broken things for me to sweep

Please don't bite me anymore - no words
your poisoning upon my face was faint
tracing of a misty, deep amphetamine:
at first a bursted tinge of open-heart,
but soon the dose grew smaller than a seed -
molehill next to mountains from my past

I used to think of you as something strong
green and awe-bright - cradled by a thousand years
but holding you I felt you bend and slither
watched you swallow whole the things I gave
to you - so now I see you st

Four Thousand MilesFour Thousand Miles

One body of water seperates ours,
But they say,
Home is where your heart is,
I'm already there.

There isn't a moment,
When I am not yours,
And you are not mine,
No matter where we are,
So what's four thousand miles?

I would chart a course,
Around this world,
To be with you,
And will.

Why waste time?

You are the missing piece,
Of a puzzle,
With no sharp edges,
You fit in perfectly,
Fixing me.

The lights in the sky,
Shine just for us,
No matter where we are,
So what's four thousand miles?

In My Lover's ArmsIn My Lover's Arms*
for Puabi
"He takes me with him everywhere, and back home for warm love."
Puabi
My mind and my eye are set outdoors
Although i wander, i ne'er will go far
My heart is always warning me
That someone sweet awaits at my side
So i hold her tight in my arms
As i walk through my door
I spend the daylight hours away
But i must return ere night
"The wind can roar and howl
The pouring rain can rain
Yet i shall not be in my home
Till i lie in my lover's arms again"
"Beloved!Come and relax with Puabi now."
*from the words of John Donne

Mixing Thoughts with Blood One second was all it took
Crying out in pain and desire for solace
She could see that nothing was left for her
It was all going to be over
Or so she thought...

The blood ran out of her veins
In a flow of red waters luminescent in the night
No one was around her, no one cared
She would be alone for eternity
Or so she thought...

A tiny light, just a beam
It did not know she could not see
The life beyond what she was living
Was just the darkness left within it
Or so she thought...

The blood runs slowly down her face
Her eyes start to dull and glass
This scene playing out does now create
A sence that she was already

A Knight's OathI swear on my blade
That I shall protect you
From any evil or holy power
I will be with you through darkness and light
Never to forsake you
Never will I take my hands to harm you
Nor shall I cause you pain
I shall be your pillar
Your enemies shall hear the cry of the eagle
The wolf will howl
VAE VICTIS!
Never shall you fear me
For you are my princess
I will be your sword and shield
Always faithful
I swear on my blade
I swear on my honor
I swear in blood
As a knight of darkness
I swear this oath to you

No JewelryNo Jewelry
For Puabi
If, one day, someone gave me a Sapphire
I would give it back
No sapphire can ever match the blue
In her eyes
If someone gave me a Ruby
I would give it back
No ruby can ever match the red
In her lips
If someone gave me a Diamond
I would give it back too
No diamond can ever match the glow
In her heart
I have her
Who is worth more than jewels

ThunderYou are the thunder that hearkens the coming of my lightning
You are the right hand that holds my sword
You are the one I entrust my scarred heart with
The guardian of my feelings
You are the inspiration to keep going
To not back down, and to surpass all mortals
Aurum and argentum pale in comparison to you
The pentagram and crucifix cannot separate us
Hatred has no power over us
Together, we are stronger than the adamant will itself
And together
We shall be thunder and lightning
Forever together

Hide and Seek With The DevilI have my mark on you -
so don't try to hide
from me, because - -
I will find you when
you want to forget.

I'm not done with
you by a long shot.

Love is insanityLove is insanity
Simple
There is no simpler way to explain it
Love will always
ALWAYS
Make you do some crazy stuff
And I am not talking about
Pre-teen
“oh he’s so hot”
Shit
No
I mean
True love
True love
Is what makes you
Go insane
Whether you realize
Or not
The type of insanity
That makes you stay
By one’s side
No matter how
Bull crap they make you deal with
The type of insanity
That makes you strive after
The same person for years
And even
When you are rejected
For the second
Even the fifth
Time
You still stay by their side
And you never let go of that hope
Now I will be honest
There is a point
Where that love
Become

Street Of Past.A whore passed by me,
She was cying inside,
Triying to cover up her rotten skin.

You ran behind me,
I felt your breath inside me,
In the bloody streets of past,
You took my hand,
And we followed the whore.

We follewed the hate-chain,
Lusting for vangeance,
Lusting for you.

One

One day
holds a million chances

One step
begins a thousand journeys

One truth
against a hundred other lies

One kiss
and all else can be forgotten

One touch
mends the countless fractures

One glimpse
and that is enough to hope

One song
to fill the hollow midnight lull

One star
is better than nothing at all

One drop
completes the vastness of the sea

One sigh
mingles bravely with the virgin air

One soul
to stand before futile dreams

One night
a brief prelude to another morn

One life,
even that is precious!

Bus Stops

Ever felt
waiting in line
for your life to come?

in the company of strangers
you wait for your moment
for that ride in your life

and when it does come
you choose not to stand
fall back in line and step inside

Ever felt
staying in the bus stop
watch others take their ride?

alone in no one's company
you watch your own life
pass you by

inertia holds you back
with your styroform cup, half-empty,
you take a sip and wait

Ever felt
life as a drag
ultimate boredom to the death?

And when the next bus comes
you never stand up to take the ride
just like with the past thirty ot

A Resting Place For The Weary

Take sympathy before your flight
winged warrior
on a mission
a destiny to fulfill

Paper thin flesh that lifts you up
blood-stained face
reflect titian sunset
a thousand years away

Take courage along your way
lonely nomad
without a home
to make dreams at night

Crooked lines trespass your face
fertile furrows
moistened by rain
refreshing for the soul

Take heed lover on the run
should distance weary you
there is rest
in the open heart

From heights unseen by any eye
look below
a meadow of peace
waits for your coming

Take time to press your ears closer
on scented ground
where your feet rest
a love song is written

Be Silent

Far from the weary noise
in the solitude of heaven
found in the center
of a childhood dream,
be silent
be quiet

Before the thickest tauntings
beside flawless springs
draining unrelentless
from innocent days
be silent
be quiet

With old wounds exposed
over broken spirits
find comfort in hopes
written on ivory sands
be silent
be quiet

In bitter tears hidden well
by pouring summer rain
weep briefly and smile
with every sunshine saved,
be silent
be quiet

hush now
...a prayer softly whispered
wafting with guttering light
be silent
hear your name whispered
over and over again.

If You Were A Dream

If you were a dream
then let it be night forever
and angels sleep in God's embrace
in the gentle surf of ivory clouds

If you were a dream
then to wake is to die
be lost in the field of realities
drowned in the sea of lucidity

If you were a dream
then preserve me in coma
eternal sleeper beneath heaven's eyes
without a stir, without a sound

save the hush of a soul's escape
to join the rapture of spirits

higher....

far away...

Changing Four Times

Summer
and morning comes
wearing her familiar scent
sprinkled essences
around her nape
nothing natural
can imitate
her grace
her life
the violent vibrance
that draws patterns
over colored shadows,
she stands
unparalleled.

Autumn
and the virgin grass
finds comfort in her nakedness,
every leaf lays
over untouched skin
ivory flesh
buried shallow
in earthen shades,
sleeping still
dreaming
dying
a slow transition
from end to end,
it is inevitable
her sadness.

Winter
and midnight flies
in dirty linen cloaks
wrinkled in traces of age,
harrassed in solitude,
stolen privacies
hushed into
evening's navel,
a secret i

In Your Arms Lies Heaven

by ~bayen, Jul 8, 2005, 5:07:18 AM
Literature / Poetry / Romantic / Post-Teen (Mature) / Free Verse

Wrap me in your arms
and I will be free from the world,
these adamantine walls that separate
earthly lovers from their love.

          And we shall glide beyond the kingdom of the moon.

In your bosom peace persists
even as the whole world would deny
or pretend to be blind and not see
the joys I bear when I'm near you.

          Let them be blind forever and be content in darkness.

I become me, truly me,
whenever your warmth caresses,
stripping the masks I've worn so tight,
chasing the fears that seem unbending.

          Your hands pull out the best of me from hiding.

I speak the truth when I say
It is heaven in your arms that bear
a sinner that seeks God's favor
a saint that retreats into God's rest.

           And we shall ascend to highest ecstasies day by day.

Then let me linger longer
in the nakedness of your presence
here beneath the sheets that lay,
away from the jealousies of midnight lights.

           I die a pilgrim whose favored relic rests in his embrace.
