Start of Into the Twilight

I thought I would start this off with the title piece written just for you. As well as included some of my previous poems.

Into the Twilight

The quite mind upon the edge the slippery slope below
The teeter of the consciousness back and forth so slow
A simple nudge to topple down to the darkness beyond
Even the smallest pebble causing the rippling pond

If so fragile the mental state, how much more the heart
For it’s been shattered countless times into each tiny part
Yet each time the pieces of the heart do manage to mend
Careful love and soft still voice and gentle hands that tend

The darkness the waits below always seems closer still
As the heart mends and heals and bends to another will
For in the end again it’s broke as it crashes to the floor
And another nudge pushes the mind towards twilight’s door

Begin

This dance I dance was meant for two
The music started with out you
I looked around through out the call
Surrounded by people, couples all
The music played beat after beat
I wondered if I should take a seat
But instead I lifted my head up tall

And began to Dance

Hope

The falling sun dips behind the hills
My restless heart for a moment stills
The pink the orange slip into Gold
As my weary soul feels too old
The beauty found with in this sight
Is just enough, to keep my hope a flight

Love

Ache for the beautiful pleasure
Entwine together naked passions
Find a tantalizing fire
Touch between love and fantasy
Drench the fever under delicious forever
Caress at an eternal magnificent depth
Celebrate paradise in the soul
Linger near the sacred kiss
Embrace your ocean of rhythm
Bathe fully in sweet whispers
Dance through glistening moonlight
Cherish time with a wild heart
Promise me love

Half of Me

Empty words flail about in my brain
Chasing in and our the meaning the same

I feel as a half not as a while
It feels I am missing part of my soul

Not quite torn out but neither is it there

Try to smile and pretend that I am ok
Say the right words so that it looks that way

Dry eyes to the world wet behind my door
Heart wrenching sobs that shake to my core

Not quite torn out but neither is it there

Brother

Oh little boy where have you gone?
I could not find you at your pond.
I looked up the tree you use to climb
And in the fort where you hid from time
I looked in the meadow where you use to play
And down the alley's and up the way
I even looked where a boy becomes Man
For I knew that was in your plan
I finally found you but I was too late
For the man-boy I found said "war wont wait"
So I hugged you and shead my tear
As you left to go fight all I fear
Thank you for loving me enough to leave
I only hope our lessons and laughter will be all you need
Oh little boy where have you gone?
Please remember you'll always be my son.

Flame

The flickering flame slow to die
Yet holding on without the why

It's not lack of care that brings it to its rest
But the lack of substance to allow it to burn it's best

The flickering flame once did burn bright
Now it holds to life with all its might

I guess its simply its time, time to let it go
But its true end point only it will know

The flickering flame slow to die
I hope through it all you found your why

Causual Words

The emptiness and pain inside left by what you said
I don't know if it was meant as so or if its all in my head

A casual laugh is a glancing blow to the timid me inside
My tough exterior a for facade for the aggrieved me I hide

11/3/07 Once again

I ache for sweet whispers entwined with love
I yearn for the adoration merged with reverence

Where have they gone?

Did you not once feel desire
Did you not one feel the magnetism
Many promises sworn to the forever
Now lie in the never only forever in forgotten

In the depth do they not linger?
I now hunger for the remembrance of the lost
I now search for the dying embers
