The QuestHowling, raging storm
Skies of hurt and pain
Lost within the darkness
The heart I cannot tame

Why will you not listen
Oh love on fragile wings
Time and fate have spoken
No longer should we sing

Tender arms a memory
The echo of a kiss
Heaven rolled the dice
And took away our bliss

Still in hope we travel
Through icy rain and gales
Praying, hoping, dreaming
That love may yet prevail

Yearning, always yearning
We fly in search of you
For love forever destined
The love we know is true...

Sadness and SorrowDrops of a bucket
tears form a cloud;
my hands are shaking
your heart is breaking.
Rustling of spring leaves
righteous vows of love
sadness and sorrow
to the lights above
Churning bits of ecstasy
Fighting all the while
Our love is gone
Never to be found

Your StoryI'd much rather cry for you
'Cause my story is too painful to share
I'd much rather smile for you
'Cause my story is too painful to bare

So come here and I'll wrap my arms around you
Come here and I'll let your story shine
But after you share your story
Please don't ask me about mine

If only I could play the violin
I'd share my past through sorrowful chords
Vibrato on strings would be my voice
Fighting my demons with imaginary swords

Although I'm limited to words on paper
And the words aren't sung by a beautiful voice
These words make my story into a song
And this song confronts you with a choice

You can close your eyes
And p

For YouTo softly touch your face
And kiss your tender lips
Such a sacred moment
All else it would eclipse

To hold you in my arms
Such magic it would seem
Flying among the stars
Such dreams I dare to dream

To share this burning love
To Chase the rainbows end
To offer every hurt
For passion all will mend

Like clothes the world is lost
Such cares we cast aside
Like the moon that's rising
Our love can't be denied

Hands and lips exploring
We gently raise the heat
Sensual waves we're riding
Our hearts like one they beat

Souls and bodies merging
Births fire we can't describe
Would that in this moment
Forever we could hide

Then in gl

Gentle wish
Gentle wish

Weeping silently within a tower
Lamenting the fading light
Cries the frail moon flower...
Who weeps every wake at night

The flower who cried a thousand tears
And slept by the moons cold light...
Pray that heaven wipe away the fears
That she may get some sleep tonight

Please don't cry....
Gently wishes the pale moon
Please don't cry
Gently wishes the sad moon

The flower that had a broken heart...
And cried a thousand tears
The happiness that was torn apart
After all those long years

Please don't cry
Gently wishes the broken heart....
Please don't cry
Gently wishes the crying heart...

The flower who listened

Used to Dream of Time Machinesi stopped crying myself to sleep at night.
i don't remember the moment it happened,
because it was somewhere between
a new heartbreak and a new me,
but last night i couldn't press
a wider smile into my pillow.

i didn't forget.
i'd like to meet the soul
who'd try and make me.
but i confess,
that i've stopped feeling guilt
every time hunger rises in my belly.

i'm sorry that i blamed you
for all the crumbling disarray,
for every time i couldn't turn the world over.

Hopeless BlissI've known all along
But hidden it deep inside
Now I'm going to let it out
And you're going to hide

I don't know if it's clever
To show every scar
I should trust my head
But I'm going with my heart

When you brush against my skin
The only thing I want to do
Is feel your warmth
And hold on to you

When we touch
I still see that spark in your eyes
If you see it too
It wouldn't be a surprise

The next time we kiss
It's going to mean more
It's going to give you shivers
That reach every single pore

I'll wrap my arms around you
And show you what I've hidden for so long
My kiss will show this hidden world
That I live in when I'm

The Man without a FaceHe stares in a mirror through eyes clogging tears
a smirk persisting alongside; a dead, worthless sneer.
He stares hard yet recognizing not the man he sees
recognizing that man is a desperately elevated dream of his

He wonders if his deeds - reflected - are right
he betrayed his friends, he abandoned his wife
reasons always lurk in the pits of the mind
yet so dark? At times his cynical heart reclined.

He smiled on insults and laughed in disgrace
he knew not what he was so he altered his face
with each turn and bend, with each traffic light
his face twist and turned, losing remnants of sight.

A con you could say, no one pronounced

something worseendless waves and your remains,
the sun brighter than ever seen.
a missing piece just like all the other makeshift bridges,
that want to never let you go on.
deciding you're not minding staying after all.
thinking your enduring is bringing you closer to farther away,
that sparing a few moments could be worth it as long as you're alone
or mostly.
the falls honoring their name with reckless abandon,
and trying to free your feet from the ground;
one of the few things you would expect to persist
but it too will erode away

slowly consumed.
pursed lips blowing away dust that proliferates

Light MeadowsGoodbye, irate inhibitions.
Adieu, reckless recognitions.
Sayonara, rude restrictions.
Adios, pointless prohibitions.

It has become time to adamantly elude
the trepidation of negative attitude;
to parlay into beautiful spontaneity
and depart from monotonous animosity.

This chaotic thing called life
tends to bring habitual strife.
Through the endeavor of survival
often times come need of renewal.

Good day, prude premonitions.
Cheerio, tiresome traditions.
So long, absurd acquisitions.
Toodle-oo, dreary dispositions.

There is no need for this weight
that only mentally becomes innate,

HeartlessYou told me I was heartless;

But how could that be true?

Cause even if I have no heart,

I never stopped loving you.

The Poets TaleEchoes roll like mist
Faint stirrings of my heart
How to share these feelings
Or change the things that part

Courage fled so long ago
Self confidence a lie
The hammer blows of life
Made hope curl up and die

And yet within your eyes
Can I truly see a seed
Healing in your bosom
And in the words you bleed

I write in cryptic verse
Revealed like finest wine
In every word and stanza
Your radiant beauty shines

Praying needful prayers
I tell my poets tale
The quest to paint your beauty
And how I ever fail

But more than that my love
I clip my feeble wings
Afraid to say I love you
For all that it might bring...

Dying From LoveDying From Love

His sweet words touched her heart
Now it is bleeding and torn apart
His gentle touch as he held her hand
Now it is empty as a barren land
His tender kiss across her lips
Ignited something deep within
Now they are parched and dry
Craving moisture that he would provide
He caressed her heart with his love
Now it is screaming from the pain
Dying slowly as she cries in the rain

Summer NightsThe stars above dazzling and whirling,
as we play our insignificant games
The summer nights where our memories
soon take form and create hidden names

The things we created became so near
We sought to grasp at the moonlight
Our shadows dancing along with us
Maybe we will find dreams tonight

Let's forget the past of winter's words
and find the radiant truth of summer's song
To discover hidden realms of our desire
as we get caught up in the swaying throng

This is merely the beginning of the end
Time to seek the beauty of fleeting moments
Like the shooting stars flashing before us
we surround each other in passionate descents

Purs

BrokenI know I can't take back my words
but now I don't even try.
Stop saying that it hurts
and stop questioning how and why.

Explanations aren't simple
and with all these flaws I fight
it's so hard to ever get well,
even harder to shine bright.

But even if I said I'm sorry,
you would hate me even more.
And even if I said don't worry,
you won't listen anymore.

I know that I have changed
but we can't stay kids forever
and I know it might be strange
but I don't wanna grow up ever.

'Cause all that's waiting is more trouble
and all that I want is to see
what lies beneath the subtle,
what is there to set us free.

So I'll tell you that I'm happy

Nightmares

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

I don't want to fall asleep
I can't bare to close my eyes
I can't stand what's inside my head
Be it made of truth or lies

'Cause when I fall asleep
The nightmares take place
The worst things I can imagine
Scarier than any screaming face

In my dreams
I see you there
But you're hurting me on purpose
And you don't seem to care

I see you with other girls
And you look so happy
And I'm stood there screaming
Telling you it should be me

But you're not listening
You're too busy having fun
I can't get away from what I'm seeing
No matter how much I try to run

I'm seeing you with girlfriends
I've never even heard of
Telling them they're beautiful
As I start to sob

Then I wake up in the dark
And I'm lying here alone
With no one here to comfort me
Just me on my own

You may think the worst part is over
But it's only just begun
'Cause when I go back to sleep
I know I'll have another one

Nightmares that leave me crying
When I wake up in bed
Wishing every night
That they would stay out my head

But I know that tomorrow
They could be even worse
So I try to forget about
This self-inflicted curse

I know that the nightmares aren't real
At least not for now
But how long do I have
And will I find out how?

I dread the day I see him with someone else
More than almost anything
He'll be happy without me there
And I'll be stood here wondering

...Why isn't that me?

your welcome

~Michel-le-fou Jan 18, 2013

Critique as follows:
Verily, we see the revival of the Old School poets hereat. I see nothing wrong.
The stylistic components were well-conceived, and I sensed a feeling of sadness to the atmosphere. For sooth, the nightmares are of love unrequited, which are occasionally shocking.
