Dragon Wings
I wish that I had Dragon wings
To fly above most normal things.
I'd sing the song the dragon sings
If I could fly on Dragon wings.
On spindly wings of leather and fire
I'd soar through the night, eternally higher,
Listening to the flames all conspire
Never to sorrow, never to tire.
Cruel lies, my soul could not touch,
I'd never care for the tales of such,
Never would love's pain, my heart clutch,
And the fires of grief would not sting much.
On Dragon wings, if there are such things,
I'd sing the song the dragon sings,
Of pain and love and other things,
If I could fly on dragon wings
Vibrant Dream
Life is an eternal vibrant dream,
And at this moment I am in slumber
And when I wake, I'll only remember
That nothing is ever quite what it seems.
In this dream theres a lesson for us all,
For in the world of our future waking,
We build and it is ourselves we're making;
We add pieces bit by bit into the soul.
And for now, I'll just enjoy the dreaming
And savor all it's sweetest melodies-
All of my problems can be overcome.
It's a pity life's so fast and fleeting,
But such a relief that love comes free;
I'll remember this dream a happy one.
The Pit - My emo sonnet
I found a pit, a damp, dank, spacious void,
Eternally deep and filled with dark things,
And all that I loved and all I enjoyed
Here were meaningless, as were my dreams.
I found a darkness; a place filled with death
Acting at once as both graveyard and morgue
I realized then that there was nothing left-
Nothing except for the hate I abhorred.
Hating the hatred, loving the pain,
Dying in my soul, I'm hollow inside.
There's no more to lose, no more to gain
Dry are my eyes - my tears have been cried.
I left the pit, then realized with a start
The void I'd found was my black withered heart.
Fairytale Princess
Am I in a fairytale? A fantasy wonderland?
Am I in a storybook, in some small child's hand?
Am I in some faraway place and time left far behind?
Am I a creation of fiction, existing only in the mind?
No, I'm not in fairy tale, my every movement planed.
My world is far from perfect, unlike some wonderland.
All my troubles can't be overcome with simply true love's kiss.
My life is not a fairy tale, and I am sure of this.
No happily ever after for me, There is not any ending
Time is a road I travel, and the future just keeps bending
Not to say I won't be happy - I may achieve that goal
But all emotion gained is fleeting, and not an ending at all.
I wish I were a princess, locked up in a tall tower,
Waiting for prince charming, and then the wedding shower
But alas, life is no fairy tale, no guaranteed rescues here
I'll just have to fare on my own, and do my best I fear.
I am no fairy tale princess - but at least, I have you
Without you, my prince charming, I don't know what I'd do
You did not come to rescue me and ride off into the sunset
But you can help me through, so perhaps there is hope yet.
Something to Fear
In the darkness of the night
When moon casts the only light,
Pull your covers round you tight
For in the night, they come
Journeying from lands afar
Following the north most star
Never revealing what they are
From afar, they come
From their lairs in jungles deep
Like the reaper come to reap
Eying what they hope to keep
From the deep, they come
Over water, over land
Watching the slowly shifting sand
No mortal man can stay their hand
Over land, they come
Up with morning in the East
Not quite man, and not quite beast
On your soul they hope to feast,
From the east, they come
Hideous and monstrous
But in disguise to gain our trust
Even now, here among us
Monstrous, they come
Awaiting sunset in the West
Their vicious curving claws to test
They never pause, never rest
From the West, they come
Over land, over water
Anticipating the coming slaughter
Arm your son and guard your daughter
Over water, they come
From frigid mountains in the north
Contemplating your soul's worth
Evil from their very birth,
From the North, they come
Now you see there's much to fear
East, West. North, South - Yes, even here
You are not safe, not anywhere
And still, the evil comes.
And Now You're Free
You cant cage a hummingbird
The very thought would be absurd
The colors that flash, the wings that blur,
I thought I owned you, Hummingbird
Each day I saw a flash of wings
And listened to the bird that sings
Spellbound by the radiant thing,
I dreamt gentle hummingbird dreams
And like those dreams, the years went by
Hummingbirds laugh, hummingbirds cry
And though I never dared to try
I never thought they said goodbye.
In summer and in winter's night,
I watched the hummingbird in flight
Never dreaming of hummingbird plights
But even hummingbirds must say goodbye.
The Lingering Past
Can you stop the rain from falling?
Can you stop my heart from breaking?
Long ago, it seems now
But still, the pain remains
My time with you was fleeting
I've long dealt with the aching
But I still feel it, somehow
For still, the pain remains
Like a snowflake in the sunshine
I held you for a moment
Then you slipped through my grasp
And coldness replaced pain
I gave my all this time
It lasted - for a moment
But what's past is past
And still, the pain remains
Winter
Frosty, crispy, frigid air
Crackling and stealing my breath on the wind
Brushing its cool frozen ice on my skin
Freezing my heart in my breast.
Bitter, crunching, broken earth
Greeting my boots with sighs and with groans
Treacherous, shifting and cracking like bones
Pristine and also grotesque.
Cold, embalmed, wintry world
White like a shroud or an angels wing
Should I be afraid, or start to sing?
Hard and lovely, a gift and a test
I do love the winter the best.
Living Dead Things
We're all just living dead thing
Loving, laughing, always walking
Towards the grave
It's a promise we have made
And our hearts just keep on beating
All too soon we'll all stop breathing
And decay
We are hollow and depraved
So I wait for liberation
And my death is my salvation
I will be saved
And freed from hollow days
For I know that each tomorrow
Is filled with sadness and fresh sorrow
Life is insane
Death will free me from my pain
Time is short, time is fleeting
The reaper waits for our last meeting
Sorrow remains
But my soul has gone away
So I sit, a living dead thing
Now alive, but death's approaching
Not today...
But It's never far away.
I Miss You
I can feel the pain
In my chest, in my soul
My heart is bleeding out
Upon the ground
I won't see any one
Not a glimpse, not a soul
'Till my heart is once again
Safe and sound
Nothing is all right,
It's all wrong, it's a mess
The world is dark and cold
And empty now
Like a storm out at sea
I toss and turn, I'm a mess
Is this sea-spray or salty tears?
I don't know
And I'm missing you again
With all my heart, all my soul
I'm crying out for you
With all my might
But you're never coming back
And I know in my soul
That I will never again
Be all right.
Wolf
Chasing after the moon
Running, I can hunt it down
I cry, I try, I hurry
Tears and paws hammer the ground
Sleek and fast, silver fury
Through the forest of my life
I run, I cry, I hurry
Chasing the moon, fleeing strife
My heart pulses within me
But I fear it may end soon
I try, I fly, I hurry,
But I cannot catch the moon
A Sonnet to Your Eyes
were i to write A sonnet to your eyes
i would start with praise and thanks for Mine
to view orbs such as words cannot describe
so bright, so captivating, so divine.
'till i saw those eyes - those eyes! - i was blind
were i struck dumb, to never speak again
(truthfully, you leave me so all the time)
but for one word, till my life's very end
i'd unburden both my soul and my mind
i'd whisper in Your ear the word "divine"
i could watch the sun rise, then set, then rise
and scoff at it when compared to your eyes
the jealous flowers whither on the vine
they know they can't compete with the divine.
My Bliss - Tyler's Poem
The icy fire
My heart's desire
The calming waters of your eyes
The smoldering flame,
My joy - my pain
Hopelessly, my soul cries
Cries for a taste
Cries at the waste
Cries out for just one more kiss
Betrayer; betrayed
The price needs to be paid
I sold my soul for your eyes - for my bliss.
Valley Song
Like a light rich frothy cream,
The world is bright, the air clean
Hills of white float in a sky
So clear and bright the angels sigh
Gamboling grace tosses the sun
On golden lace, on fields of dun
The vineyards wave with diamond leaves
In morning's rays and gentle breeze
Arms of the earth reach towards the sky
Cradle and hearse, the valley cries
Bowl of dust, cup of maize
Gorge of the lost - a womb, a grave.
Telling Secrets
Words struggle
Struggle
Struggle
In the back of my throat
Trying to find a formula
A form for formless thought
I need to tell you
Need to tell you
But I cannot find a way
I sit and ponder helplessly
And don't know what to say.
What is Death?
What is death but a new beginning?
An different, altered state of being?
Whether transcended or dragged under
What once was is torn asunder
Death - it is a mystery
The reasons, we can never see
But whatever it may be
It truly means the end of me
Whether life continues after
Or worms just eat my corpse with laughter
I can only wait to find
But it all means change of a kind
To die and just be for the worms -
A tasty snack their stumach churns -
Would still be a beginning new
A start of sleep forever true
To die, and to live again
Would change all that I was or am
A start anew as something else,
Leaving behind my former self
What is death, but a new beginning?
It is an altered state of being
A chance to begin again
So why then, is it called "The End?"
Kiss it Better
Kiss kiss, love
Goodnight and sweet dreams.
The world is hurt, the world is pain,
And nothing will ever be the same,
But, just kiss my lips again
And don't tell me what it means
Kiss kiss, darling
Pull the covers round you tight
Turmoil and destruction reign
Everyone has gone insane
But just kiss me once again
And make it seem all right.
Work In Progress
Can we find the meaning
Of this life that we are leading?
Its intriguing
And misleading
Pointless, or so seeming
We ask, what is the meaning?
Can we catch a gleaming
Of a plan-
Of a hand-
In the threadwork of this land?
Broken Innocence
Like the pure sweet winging dove,
Like the budding rose,
Bright and lovely, full of love,
White and perfect, like the snow
Unmarred, sweet youth, it filled thee
Sunbeam years of innocence
But love, you now are past these-
Your purity is spent.
Do you remember the radiance
Of a questing child's eyes?
The sweet bliss of ignorance
Is no longer by your side
Your own dark deeds, own dark love
Bitter thoughts trapped in your mind
Are like the snow, stained with blood
Like the dove, flightless and blind
You slowly, surely corrupted yourself
Your purity was ill spent
Age and experience robbed you of your light,
And left broken innocence.
Vertigo
I'm standing on the edge
Of the cliff
On tiptoes leaning out
Over the the void
Looking into the depths
What is this?
I don't know, but I know it's
What I enjoyed
And then comes the flood
Pounding me
And I'm falling, falling down
Over the edge
Out of control, can't see straight
Still, yet spinning
I'm addicted and your love
Is my drug
Tingling sensations running
Through me
Like my soul has flown away
Gone up above
In a hypnotic trance
You control me
I'm on fire, I'm half frozen,
I'm in love
Just one simple kiss
Makes me crazy
My senses go haywire
I take the plunge
Falling over the edge
When you kiss me
I'm on fire, I'm half frozen
I'm in love.
Midnight
I whisper in the dark,
"Soul mates are Forever"
The world laughs a callous moment
Then is still.
I cry out in the night,
"Forever love, Forever"
The world weeps one bitter tear
Then turns away.
Lying in your tomb...
Now we are Together.
The world knows nothing of my pain,
And you're not here.
Crystal Pool
Opening my eyes I see a crystal pool
It's surface broken images, its depths a mystery
Reflections change so fast, the wind blows so slow
The world changes around me; the past I'll never know
Autumn's leaves are falling to remind us all things fall
The whispering winds are calling from over mountains tall
Looking back I cant see What's True and what is False
Was I really free, or trapped by endless wall?
Please remember me, a whispered melody
Crystal pools are we, our souls a mystery...
I wish that I had Dragon wings
To fly above most normal things.
I'd sing the song the dragon sings
If I could fly on Dragon wings.
On spindly wings of leather and fire
I'd soar through the night, eternally higher,
Listening to the flames all conspire
Never to sorrow, never to tire.
Cruel lies, my soul could not touch,
I'd never care for the tales of such,
Never would love's pain, my heart clutch,
And the fires of grief would not sting much.
On Dragon wings, if there are such things,

Of pain and love and other things,
