Safe Haven

The moon hath waned and ebbed the tide,
Still thou searchest, far and wide.
Dark the sky and black the night,
No stars upon which to rest thy sight.
Cometh thou upon my shore?
Harbor thy soul, and wander no more.
Hearken thee, the words I speak~
Open thy heart for what thou seeks.
I offer thee my gentle hand,
Trade thine oars for verdant land.
Rest thy head now in my arms,
Safe thou be from further harm.

The Passing

Pages in thy book of life
Thou hath turned in strife~
What hast thou gained?
Knowest thou now only pain?
Thou yielded up thy body to thy grave,
Thy heart, thy soul, I could not save.
E'er more shall I mourn for thee,
And yet I curse thee for thy destiny.

untitled

Hours I spend waiting,
Always waiting for thee,
And dost thou not now wait for me?
Hence thou lookest, now I am free~
No more shall I wait for thee!
Thy tears may keep thee company.

Betrayal

What lies inside?
What lies thou keepest inside?
I can see behind thine eyes
The lies thou seek to hide.
Hide and seek,
And turn thy cheek.
Whispers spoken in lust or love,
Careless thoughts thou thinkest of.
Shadow of thy soul,
Shadow upon thy soul.
Darkness grows,
And darkness knows.
Truth at last revealed,
Now pain my heart conceals.

Pearls

Echoed whispers fade,
Memories dim in shadow.
My heart, a lustful labyrinth
Thou dare not seek to know.

Time's eternal essence
Enshrouds my past regrets.
Wisdom born of lessons learned,
And yet I still forget....

Shimmering in the sunlight,
Hopes are strung as pearls.
Lingering taste of tears
As the glow of day unfurls.
