The Shadow's Deep

Another poem intended for my Endar narratives. This one is really structurally needing set in pre-formatted text for the visual aspect, which conveys whispered content for the left-most italicized portion as the other part of the poem is being spoken/sung.

softly, soft......follow me to the shadows deep
..........lost blowhere mermaids pass by in drunken sleep
..wind to my home as eels electrify each naked eye
..................while the waves above drift low then high

.......blow.......swim with me sweet, beloved dear
.............lost to music the harpies play for us here
...........i..one sailors to catch my glimpse would die
..................let us float 'til on the reef we lie....

..................lift your head, love, lift your heart
to i..............let the dark, vivid colors blend apart
....me here to me do not fear this water clear
..........see.....do not fear should we disappear....

..................what will be love with soft words gone
...............to what without your song does life become
....the un, un....to sink, to sing as we start again
.........known seaare you near my only friend?

..................allow me to be sad, to bitterly cry
waves.............allow this water to blur my eyes
......drift.......are you near....are you here.....
...........higher I swear I see your pitch black hair....

low sweet wind go bright summer sun
......to..........will I too be black when you are done
them all..........when the night slowly awakes
..................will it bestow sweet heaven's face

call..............the sea beneath my body flows
blessed...........so every thought within me goes
...........life i lost to that silence, dull to pain
..................one can but feel the heavy weight

there.............the sand is wet, lax and plush
..................sticking to my fingers like velvet gloves
here..............sharpness inside these lungs do sear
...my in..........so much water one has no tears

......in..........crying needs such vital breath
..................this for that love think not of me less
.............side of you my last view will surely see
..................to thee these dying words shall be...

come..............I had only thought to stay alone
.comenow comenow..now all places pale beside your own
..come come i i i I can't bear to know you're gone
..................will you come here....will you come?

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

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

Be Someone

When I shut my eyes And hold them tight The colors flash In my head so bright A whirlwind swirls The ocean’s waves A tide that’s fierce The sun’s sharp rays I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Each day unfolds Going through these motions Attempts to care To be sane and well Not in a self-made hell Tired and spent Cracked and dry Lines forming on my hands Around my eyes I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Can you be someone Will you be enough Should we stay this way Too distant and far away Am I still the one You love Are y...
