My heart was cold as ice,
I bore the Exile’s mark,
Solo, my great entice.
Empty were my eyes,
Devoid of life,
I lost my prize,
Just tear-shedding strife.
My life was Hurt,
Drowned in Pain,
Ignored every passing flirt,
Forgot everything vain.
Then I left all that behind,
And tried to start anew,
Old body, new mind,
Watched in a different hue.
Yet again, I fail,
I gave up, I quit,
Emissary of Lost hail,
Come deal me the final hit.
I was at the brink,
The last step off the bridge,
Ready to sink,
And fall off the ridge.
But I stopped,
I saw something,
Kept me from being dropped,
And what did it bring?
I saw another chance,
I saw something new,
Who holds this stance?
It is you.
You give me light,
A second hope,
A new sight,
No longer will I mope.
I was deathly afraid,
Cowered in fear,
Did all that you bade,
Just wanting you here.
You were struck,
I was there,
To give you luck,
And help you bear.
I wanted you to see,
Died for you to know,
Who I could be,
What I could show.
But I waited,
Ever-patiently by your side,
Told you, you were not hated,
Not once I lied.
Then came my turn,
I showed you how I felt,
Made you to learn,
Your reaction made my heart melt.
I said, I love you,
And I smiled,
You said, I love you too,
And we cried a while.
You are my love,
Beside me in joy,
My heavenly dove,
So sweetly coy.
With you, I see light,
Near you, I have hope,
Beside you, it’s so bright,
Along you, I’ll always cope.
My beloved mate,
My only desire,
Please be my fate,
Please kindle my heartfire.
Others may say you’re impure,
But you’re my virgin so-sweet,
Together we’ll endure,
Misery, we’ll defeat.
‘Til Death do us part,
Mate, purer than divine manna,
You are the crown of my heart,
My dearest Hannah.
“Midnight Meadow”
The sky made of colors, rich,
Stars shining high in the night,
Finally found our own little niche,
At last everything is all right.
I hold you in my arms now,
Whispering soft words of love,
My heart to you, I vow,
Thanking the Trinity above.
Lay your head over my heart,
Hear every gentle beat,
Nothing will tear us apart,
My love, my sweet.
I lean down and ask for a kiss,
You pause and brush my lips,
The one love I could always miss,
Across your cheek, brush my fingertips.
I pull away slowly,
A content smile lights my face,
I am yours wholly,
No longer need you chase.
We lie down in the flowers,
Holding each other, so warm,
Around us the trees tower,
No more emotional storm.
I hold you close,
My soft breath against your neck,
My delicate rose,
We no longer a wreck.
I sigh I love you,
Curling my fingers in your hair,
My love so true,
My heart, I’ll always share.
With you, I’m sure I’m safe,
I am secure,
Love no longer a wraith,
Our hearts so pure.
Lie your head against my chest,
Close your eyes and dream,
Now let your body fall to rest,
As I watch the stars gleam.
Together we shall live happily,
Following in Bliss’s shadow,
So won’t you join me,
In our midnight meadow?
“Star In The Dark”
When I came here,
I had nothing, was nothing,
Lived in constant fear,
Just wanted to be something.
I had no more will,
Awaited death,
Thought about that pill,
That final rest.
The world was bleak,
Mere shades of hate,
Chased away the meek,
Yet one light could abate.
One gentle soul,
Faint glow,
Could it make me whole?
Or deal me the final blow?
I chased after it,
This golden ember,
So darkly lit,
In that dreary November.
Followed the dream,
Saw it flame and saw it fade,
Ripped at the seams,
Still I stayed.
Stepped in faith,
Through months of waiting,
No longer a wraith,
No more agonized waiting.
The glowing light,
It was and is you,
Nearby, I’ve no fright,
One of so very few.
I asked for your love,
You did not reject,
Nor did you shove,
Both of us, less wrecked.
I asked your hand,
Please be my mate,
Beside you I’ll always stand,
To protect and to sate.
You are the light of my life,
Whom only I shall mark,
With you, there is no more strife,
You, my star in the dark.
“Intertwined”
Many things you see,
Coincide with one another.
Where Light, Darkness,
Where Darkness, Hope.
Where Hope, Despair,
Where Despair, Joy.
Every light casts a shadow,
The brighter that light, the darker its shadow.
Life and Death,
Future and Past.
Beginning and End.
Love and Hate.
Without one the other dies,
Without both we are lost.
Good and Bad.
Right and Wrong.
Heaven and Hell.
God and Devil.
Everything is intertwined.
Everything is balanced.
No thought without voice.
No deed without consequence.
Afterword
These poems come from a time of great hardship for me. I was in my first strong relationship and kept making mistakes throughout the whole thing. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't seem to stop from making the same mistake repeatedly. To the careful reader, I am sure you can see the points where things were good, and things were not so.
Yet from all of this turmoil, I only grew both in spirit and heart. Now the question is, has the reading experience made you grow any?
