Ballad for Greater Days (REVISED)

The mountains have fallen,
The rivers are bare;
The kingdoms of men
Are all that stand there.
Cut down are the trees,
The thickets, the woods;
No birds that would sing

Woes of a College Freshman

I wish my Room Mate
Would leave me the Hell alone!
(She really bugs me).

Sonnet #3 (Or, How Destiny Can Be Wrong)

Once upon a magic April day,
Two young star-crossed lovers met by fate.
They found love in the early days of May,
But within a year their love turned to hate.

Sonnet #2 (Or, Accepting Truth and Trust)

We weren't in love, but labeled as lovers.
We seemed as friends - our affair was discovered.
And, somewhere, through the denial and lying,
I realized love was what I was trying

Just Breathe

I sigh, trying to
Expel you from my memory,
But every inhale reminds me of
Your scent,
Your taste,
Your touch.

The oxygen fills me, and I recall how
I used to live off your love.

Desperate Haiku

I would feel happy
If you would post comments on
My poetry blogs.

Empty

Empty,
I'm empty inside.
No one in my heart,
No one to have my heart.

Emotionless.
I drop to my knees
Searching for reason
Why I can't capture that feeling.

It escapes me.

Waiting

Darkness has fallen
The rain pours down and I cry
My heart aches for you

But love will prevail
Rain and dark will not stop us
We will meet again

The seasons will pass

Home

Why do You fear
the Night?
You are Safe
In My Arms.
We'll Fly above
Silver Seas,
Into Stars
and Darkened Skies.
Don't cry.
White Doves
guide us Home
into Our Night.
Your journey's
Over.

Blue

Clear as the sky
Piercing my heart
Falling inside
But still flying

Firework-bright
My soul explodes
I feel your light
We shine like stars

Darker, yet soft
Damp from our bodies

Redolent Memories

I was wandering, wondering through a whispering woods;
Sylvan scenery and secret memories inspire thoughts;
(I vowed never to love.)

How heavenly the hyacinth! How lovely the lilac!

Sonnet #1 (Or, A Salute To Drayton)

Since there's no help; come, let us kiss and part;
Remembering the forbidden embraces,
And reaching out to your soul in the dark;
Trying to lie to those judging faces.
