frozen statues

shadowy figures blurring on the edge
a promise forever, a bond, a pledge
what is really meant to be or happenstance
in this world of depressed and lonely romance
where we search and search for partners for the dance

ashen outcast why do I adore you
standing in the cold amidst the frozen statues
isolated, grey and silver streaks
dead and dying, mourning, grief
colour draining as the blood slowly seeps

a poem or a song carried on the wind
within a storm of cold, soulless sin
passion burning as apathy in wane
bringing your heartless fire to wrack my brain
never hearing others, waiting for you to say my name

so here we stand apart in time
a chasm between, never meeting or mine
like a flower beneath the snow
is it dead forever, or will it soon grow?
once winter ends, will springtime show?

yes, I love you if love can exist
within a whisper of forlorn sadness
as my breath catching the breeze is hushed
cut short, a beating heart that's been crushed
which no hand had ever touched

so leave me now cruel mystery
I've been apt to think I'd found you
then divined lies, not truth
a wound spreading and deep
now, I lie broken
and weep

Inspired by the video "Love Like Winter" from AFI (for the link, select under Videos the one entitled Long Version for the best experience)

The Journey’s End

  old and new, I’m here waiting for you over the hills and under the sun waiting for you as life has begun waiting for you as long as we’ll be waiting for you as you waited for me again we go together my friend through these woods as deep as our sorrows we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow gilded and golden, sapling in green dusty and dark, light with a spark colors abound throughout our journey filling our hearts at all we’ve seen making us age at every stage we’ve dreamed all of life's majesty in the oceans and ponds and what lies beyond footsteps echoing on the hard ground voices fading out til they have no sound we arrive here where we started before each of us the same yet now we've changed one of us lives and cries and cries the other lies down in this cold ground and closes her eyes dusty and dark, light with a spark we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow

Moonlight Kite

I run with the kite in the field All the stars shining brightly The clear, moon-filled sky's expanse stretches wide String trailing behind me The kite lifts as I tug and pull A sharp jerk, I don't let it go Now, it's soaring high I let out more cord as it sails Above the ground, a sky ship Colorful in day, by night delicate Muted greys swerve and dip Yellow tails flutter from the bow As I slowly release more rope How far can it fly? Morning star on the horizon Near where the sun will be rising Dawn will soon arrive I remove small silver scissors Which glint in the twilight Setting the spool of coil onto the ground I look at the kite Kneeling down on my knees I snip the rope and release "Lord, send my prayers to him please" The kite, now free, rushes away My letter tied up with it sways With all of my hopes Every single word I could say I lay my head down on cool grass To find peace at last

The Fourth Riddle

  The Fourth Riddle I’m a whisper on the wind A thought held deep within Imprinted on your bones I won’t ever let you go I know your name I don’t forget anything By design, I hide The truth from sight Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it I’m embedded in your mind Entrenched inside How do you sleep each night? Worried they’re nearby This train is a one way trip But did you want a ticket? Oh, you can’t get off Until the end of the line Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent You can still deny it You are a prisoner of mine A prisoner in your mind I won’t ever let you go I control everything I’ll follow you to the grave Shhh Don’t talk
