Verse #413

Looking back across the year, 
the good and bad that brought us here, 
each moment that I've held so dear, 
forever thankful that you're near.

Verse #412

And so the day is here at last,
a time for friends and family,
a day to look back on the past,
while presents wait under the tree.

Verse #411

No snow to decorate the ground,
no carol singers to be found,
no twinkling lights with tinny sound,
yet Christmas is still all around.

Verse #410

Decorate my life with love,
place your heart under my tree,
wrap us in the stars above,
share this night and set me free.

Verse #409

When love presents its heart to you,
when hope shows dreams can still come true,
when faith proves it will see you through,
'tis then that life begins anew.

Verse #408

Take my heart and keep it near,
hold my hand and never fear,
share your joy and every tear,
keep this love forever dear.

Verse #407

A war long fought- the battle won,
a hero sought- by setting sun,
a freedom bought- for only one,
a final thought- at last begun.

Verse #406

Join me on the battlefield against the force of time,
raise your shield and voice with me against the enemy,
brace your heart and mind to face this cold and weary climb,
draw your sword and march with me towards our destiny.

Verse #405

Dark of night absorbs the day,
fields of white and skies of gray,
frozen signs still point the way,
out to where the Dragons lay.

Verse #405

Dark of night absorbs the day,
fields of white and skies of gray,
frozen signs still point the way,
out to where the Dragons lay.

Verse #404

In the darkness I can see, 
all that I could never be, 
every dream long lost to me, a 
slave that never could be free.

Verse #403

Our journey has brought us through thick and through thin,
a bond that grows stronger and closer than kin,
though the road has been paved with both good and bad times,
there could be no one better to partner my crimes.

Verse #402

Life is not a story book- there are no heroes here,
no gods to hear our lonely prayers nor take away our fear,
when all is said and done there is but one thing left to know,
that in the end we're all alone with nowhere else to go.

Verse #401

And so the brave companions met fresh from the battlefield,
their armour brightly shining and their wounds all dressed and healed,
they drank of wine and ate of beef til each could scarcely talk,
all stumbling back towards their homes- at least those who could walk.

Verse #400

Though the weather is cold and the forecast more bleak,
your love gives me strength and the warmth that I seek,
as I journey back home at the end of each day,
your love is the light that will show me the way.

Verse #399

Love can lift or it can shame,
a wild beast that none can tame,
a joker in this complex game,
where no two hearts can beat same.

Verse #398

Take my hand and walk with me again into the fray,
clear your mind of all the hurt this world has sent your way,
find the truth of who you are in all I have to say,
stay with me and share my heart forever and a day. 

Verse #397

Walk within the shadows and the moon will be your guide,
let the void absorb your heart and darkness ease your mind,
in Nocturnal's cold embrace your soul will soon reside,
deep within this haven that no light of man can find.

Verse #396

See the frozen dew upon a field of green and white,
trees all standing bare in the early morning light,
dawn birds twitter by as their flocks all take to light,
shadows fade away as we bid farewell to night.

Verse #395

Our history is written by the victor of each war,
having little base in truth of what each man did or saw,
so each of us is taught that each page we read is true,
which makes me wonder what the books will say of me and you.

Verse #394

I stare into the darkness that encompasses my soul,
the cloud that ever follows me along this black patrol,
the shadow sneaking up on me to swallow my world whole,
the beast that dwells within my mind beyond my heart's control.

Verse #393

Our world goes round in circles from the bottom to the top,
we keep on moving forward like we have no way to stop,
we pray for law and order as we persecute each cop,
and our leaders have no answers but to tell us all to shop.

Verse #392

I hear the whisper in the breeze,
the magic in these ancients trees,
the secrets they will ever hold,
the stories that cannot be told.

Verse #391

Extract me from the world of darkness life has left behind,
distract me from the thoughts of hate that circle in my mind,
redact my thoughts and feelings for the safety of my kind,
exact upon my heart and soul the love they cannot find.

Verse #390

We watch the present meet the past,
this time to shine that cannot last,
a moment here then gone so fast,
into the shadows that we've cast.

Verse #389

Follow me in all I do,
stay with me through thick and thin,
help my heart to see this through,
let this new life soon begin.

Verse #388

Here I lie- a sleepless wreck,
the sandman sharing not a speck,
just staring out into the night,
all thought of dreams long lost from sight.

Verse #387

The universe conspires against each plan that I create,
the obstacles across my path not easy to negate,
I stare into the void as this black cloud grows overhead,
just wishing that another ray of sunshine came instead.

Verse #386

Today another journey starts,
a long-awaited gift of love,
an angel here to share our hearts,
a tiny joy from God above.

Verse #385

I feel my wings constricted by the armour on my skin,
the feathers torn and tattered by the talons of my kin,
my halo long neglected by the path of mortal sin,
my duty now to watch as this world's final days begin.

Verse #384

With talons set and neatly curled,
upon this perch I watch the world,
where love and hate are ever twirled,
this sprawling mass of man unfurled.

Verse #383

Walk with me down life's dark street, 
keep close to me and don't retreat,
though darkness gathers all around,
this love will keep us safe and sound.

Verse #382

A glimmer in the distant night,
a shadow in the brightest light,
a vision slightly out of sight,
a frozen flame still burning bright.

Verse #381

This dragon's blood runs through my veins,
this dragon's heart beats strong and true,
this dragons soul that holds the reigns,
this dragon's voice that calls to you.

Verse #380

The guards have pulled me from my bed,
and dragged me far across the land,
the axe now calling for my head,
was all of this just as they'd planned?

Verse #379

'Cross frozen mountains we have trekked,
through ancient caverns we have checked,
each place our hero might have been,
our quest to find the Dovahkiin!

Verse #378

Standing here- I wait for you,
drifting here- in love so true,
praying here- we'll make it through,
together here- just me and you.

Verse #377

Though boxes still surround us with the contents of our home,
we've finally found a place where we can all live happily,
with any luck from now we'll no longer have to roam,
to settle down at last and just be a family.

Verse #376

Darkness dwells within each heart,
just waiting for a time to start,
to tear your conscience at the seams,
and rise against your hopes and dreams.

Verse #374

And so the countdown has begun,
the date now set and drawing near,
we panic at what must be done,
although our plans are crystal clear.

Verse #373

True friendship looks beyond the skin,
beneath each deep and painful scar,
forgiving you each fault or sin,
just loving you for who you are.

Verse #372

If you could see the future staring at you from afar,
or chronicle the wonders of each distant twinkling star,
how would you walk amongst all the lost sheep of the flock,
how could you ever teach them the true nature of this rock.

Verse #371

I'm blinded by the love you share,
and humbled by how much you care,
your gift is far beyond compare,
you'll always make me stop and stare.

Verse #370

Be my new horizon- be the sunrise of my day,
be who I rely on- be the truth in all I say,
be my one beloved- be here with me from the start,
be all that I wish for- be the one who shares my heart.

Verse #369

So this is how it all begins,
our final days upon this rock,
a species blinded by our sins,
oblivious to nature's clock.

Verse #368

Falling in and out of love,
a puzzle to both friend and kin,
changing like the skies above,
a stranger in a borrowed skin.

Verse #367

Search each trail along your way,
climb each mountain in your sight,
find the skies where dragons play,
brace yourself for one last fight.

Verse #366

Separate me from my hate,
let my fear of hurt sedate,
guide me to the stars above,
teach my heart once more to love.

Verse #365

Chaos walks the earth tonight,
gangs of monsters cloaked in fright,
and so we hide and dim each light,
and pray we miss their horrid plight.

Verse #364

From one shadow to another,
in the darkness of the night,
to the embrace of a lover,
in a world long lost from sight.

Darklove

I feel the shadows close to me,
Their cold embrace so dear to me,
This love they hold for only me,
A feeling I thought lost to me.

I hear the shadows calling me,
Their secrets only shown to me,
This portal crafted just for me,
A mirror to a different me.

I let the shadows follow me,
The darkness now consuming me,
As pain and hurt abandon me,
A shadow stands where once was me.

Verse #363

Sail away with me tonight,
across the seas and out of sight,
far from all the hurt and pain,
to where true love can live again.

Verse #362

Watch the setting sun with me,
let the darkness set you free,
hunt with me throughout the night,
stay with me til dawn's first light.

Verse #361

The green and blue of field and sky,
the countryside that rushes by,
the twists and turns of every bend,
on tracks that seem to have no end.

Verse #360

Take me far away from here,
from all that I have come to fear,
to where we have no need to roam,
where hope and love can be our home.

Verse #359

Live your life with no regret,
walk the path your heart has set,
find your place and make a stand,
help us all to understand.

Verse #358

Setting out before the dawn,
before the shades of light are drawn,
I wander far across this land,
my footprints marked deep in the sand.

Verse #357

Leave me be but not too long,
help me learn my right from wrong,
teach my heart a different song,
keep this love forever strong.

Verse #356

Shine your light upon my soul,
place my life in your control,
teach me how my heart can soar,
stay with me forever more.

Verse #355

Feel the awe-inspiring power,
of that dark and final hour,
when your heart and soul will cower,
at the Reaper's twisted glower.

Verse #354

Release me from the prison of the thoughts within my mind,
the demons I have summoned that have kept my soul confined,
the shadows of the past that have left my torn heart blind,
this world I have created where my pain can be resigned.

Verse #353

A prisoner in your fight for greed,
refused the right to even feed,
left here in chains each night to bleed,
kept out of sight and never freed.

Verse #352

Leave your past life far behind,
clear the shadows from your mind,
no time to pause or to rewind,
a new world waits for you to find.

Verse #351

I see the truth deep in your eyes,
our future set within your heart,
our story stretched across the skies,
the journey just about to start.

Verse #350

Time gives but a glimpse of the things that we could be,
God is just a name for the things we cannot see,
Life is but a shell keeping us from being free,
Love is our salvation on the road to destiny.

Verse #349

Turn each smile into a frown,
paint my world in grey and brown,
lock me up to keep me down,
throw me in and let me drown.

Verse #348

Dark skies fill my soul with dread.
mist that seems to fill my head,
shadows laid across our bed,
hiding all that has been said.

Verse #347

Dance away the night with me,
watch the rising sun with me,
let your heart connect with me,
share your love and life with me.

Verse #347

Dance away the night with me,
watch the rising sun with me,
let your heart connect with me,
share your love and life with me.

Verse #346

When two souls join in love's embrace,
with beating hearts their pulses race,
their paths forever merged as one,
together walking towards the sun.

Verse #345

Every battle fought is another battle won,
there is no challenge raised that cannot be undone,
one more victory in another skirmish war,
one more hard earned point but no closer to the score.Remove

Verse #344

Here within my heart is forever where you'll be,
hidden from the world so that no one else can see,
keeping you from harm is the duty given me,
here within my heart where your soul can be set free.

Verse #344

Here within my heart is forever where you'll be,
hidden from the world so that no one else can see,
keeping you from harm is the duty given me,
here within my heart where your soul can be set free.

Verse #343

Shadows cross my mind of those ancient days gone by,
distant memories of what once was you and I,
all the tears we've cried and the smiles that we have shared, blessed
because I know just how much you've always cared.

Verse #342

Nature gives and takes away,
changing all we know to be,
greater force than words could say,
ever more than what we see.

Verse #341

Sleep will come and quickly go,
dreams will end before you know,
life will take you far away,
once again into the fray.

Shadowsong

My heart is but a grain of sand,
a broken shard of something grand,
dispersed across a frozen land,
for reasons none can understand.

My soul is but an empty shell,
forged within the fires of hell,
born of dreams I cannot tell,
enslaved by fears I cannot quell.

My life is but a cruel disguise,
a role no mortal would reprise,
a play the very gods despise,
this torment hidden in my eyes.

Verse #340

My soul is but an empty shell,
forged within the fires of hell,
born of dreams I cannot tell,
enslaved by fears I cannot quell.

Verse #339

From the darkness to the light,
left to wander far from sight,
bred for wrong but born from right,
never yielding in this fight.

Verse #338

Once more I rise before the dawn,
and watch the slowly sinking moon,
to cleanse my dreams of all they spawn,
and feed my soul this cold Sun's boon.

Verse #337

Men that claim divine connection,
fill our minds with their deception,
blinding all from true reflection, 
keeping us from true ascension

Verse #336

So many lives lost tragically,
through greed followed fanatically,
to wars against morality,
that end in more fatality.

Verse #335

Reflecting on the years gone by,
The passing days so quickly fly,
The life I knew long gone it seems,
A moment lost to countless dreams.

Verse #334

The heart is like an ocean,
Ever-changing with the tide,
Awash with raw emotion,
That you cannot keep inside.

Mutambo

Acolyte of ancient kings,
Student of the primal scribe,
Sacred bird that ever sings,
Words no man can now describe.

Offspring of this fledgling realm,
Sailor of the modern way,
Faceless masters at the helm,
Shaping out this brand new day.

Seeker of the inner truth,
Writer of the dark within,
Chronicles back to my youth,
Memoirs for my future kin.

Verse #333

See the sun through cloudy skies,
feel the joy through teary eyes,
keep the faith through godless days,
find the truth through your own ways.

Verse #332

No words for this hoarse throat to say,
no hope for this dark soul today,
no love for this cold heart to find,
no chance for one long left behind.

Verse #331

Waves across a field of corn,
ripples on a clear blue lake,
though no sun shall greet the morn,
this day is here for us to take.

Verse #330

And so we start another day,
our armour set and on display,
to follow what out masters say,
until at last we fade away.

Verse #329

I am what you wish to be,
the image you aspire to see,
the power that will set you free,
the master of your destiny.

Verse #328

I am the hunger in your eyes,
the warmth between your silky thighs,
the passion in your breathless sighs,
the sacred spot where heaven lies.

Verse #327

I am the cloud above your head,
the monster underneath your bed,
the nightmare that cannot be fled,
the secret you'll forever dread.

Verse #326

I am the light behind your soul,
the life beyond your mind's control,
the guard upon your heart's patrol,
the truth behind each ancient scroll.

Verse #325

And thus the sunshine leaves me cold,
returning back from whence it came,
to rise again like days of old,
though never more to be the same.

Verse #324

And so the final countdown starts,
to when that sunshine smile departs,
to leave us all with broken hearts,
til once again the storm cloud parts.

Verse #323

I wear the shadows like a skin,
I have no love nor mortal kin,
I seek to rule not curse or sin,
I am that which lies deep within.

Verse #322

Far away in distant skies,
where a lonely soul still cries,
there true love and beauty lies,
deep within those soft brown eyes.

Verse #321

The evolution of true love,
a small diversion on the go,
a quick mutation from above,
a major change to all we know.

Verse #320

And so we leave these northern sands,
the sun and sea fresh in our mind,
although we wave with saddened hands,
tis only love we leave behind.

Verse #319

Take me far away from home,
to where the crab and seagull comb,
across the beach and through the foam,
to where the donkey riders roam.

Verse #318

Let the view deceive you- it can only help you see,
Let the heart escape you- it can only hide your soul,
Let the dark control you- it can only set you free,
Let the pain absorb you- it can only make you whole.

Verse #316

Grace me with your smile and guide me on my way,
keep my soul protected with each magic word you say,
take me in your arms and forever hold my heart,
share your love with me and we'll never be apart. 

Dearheart

Today we celebrate your day,
The truth in all the things you say,
That smile that shows the best of you,
The hope that ever sees you through,
Today we think of all you've done,
The journey that you have begun,
This joy and love you bring us all.
The faith that keeps you standing tall,
Today we join our hands and pray,
The Lord to bless you in his way,
With gifts no mortal man could find,
For one so treasured by her kind.

Verse #315

Find your sacred guiding star,
see the truth in who you are,
let it lead you through the dark,
let it help you find your spark.

Verse #314

I built a wall around my heart,
and placed a guard upon my soul,
You scaled and tore my wall apart,
and placed my guard in your control.

Verse #313

Life is but a whisper of the things we wish could be,
hope is but a question on the lips of you and me,
faith is but a shadow of all that we cannot see,
love is our salvation on the road to destiny.

Verse #312

Take me right back to the start,
find my soul and set it free,
fan the fires of my heart,
help me find the love in me.

Verse #311

Sink this heart that carries me,
drown me in your stormy sea,
pull me down to where you lay,
your love can take my breath away.

Verse #310

All the battles you have fought,
all the lessons you have taught,
all the joy and pain they've brought,
all worth more than you'd have thought.

Verse #309

Sometimes we walk- sometimes we run,
sometimes we're cold despite the sun,
sometimes we hold- sometimes we shun,
sometimes we're lost although we've won.

Verse #308

Looking right back to the start,
before that dark and sudden end,
despite the years we've been apart,
I'm grateful that you're still a friend.

Verse #307

Like a jigsaw puzzle with its pieces spread around,
this life is often scattered with no pattern to be found,
forever to be searching for that final missing piece,
for only when we find it can we truly be at peace.

Verse #306

Creator of men- the commander of souls,
defender of all that still guides and controls,
to your good grace we make this request,
and in your embrace we shall truly be blessed.

Dawn of Love

Grey clouds fill the black above,
Darkness reigns where once was love,
Hatred taints that peaceful dove,
These lives no more fit like a glove.
Black skies turning slowly red,
No time to sleep but think instead,
This swollen cloud that fills my head,
As shadows cross this empty bed.
Red horizon turning blue,
A time for change not just in hue,
A chance for life to start anew,
A brand new dawn for me and you.
White clouds cover all I see,
The future laid in front of me,
Behind me ancient history,
Those distant days of misery.
Stars beyond that cloudy sky,
Far above where angels fly,
Shining down on you and I,
To help us give love one more try.

Verse #305

Whispers in the dark beyond,
shadows on the moon above,
ripples dance across the pond,
secrets in the name of love.

Verse #304

Free your mind of all you know,
see the truth of what you are,
clear your heart before you go,
find the path towards your star.

A Birthday Dedication

Today we greet a different sun,
To shine on you all through this day,
An orb of light made just for one,
To keep the world going your way. 
These words are my gift wrapping,
They contain my love inside,
A treasure without trapping,
For it has no need to hide.
I share this special gift with you,
To celebrate this wonderous time,
A friendship and a bond so true,
to make each moment feel sublime.
A dedication to a friend,
In hope you'll have a joyous day,
Across the oceans, this I send,
On this your very special day.

Verse #303

Red horizon turning blue,
a time for change not just in hue,
another chance to start anew,
another day for me and you.

Verse #302

Take note of all that you have seen,
make peace with those you call your kin,
take heart that what will be has been,
make this a new life to begin.

Verse #301

Two souls entwined across the years,
Their smiles outweigh the count of tears,
Their strength combined against their fears,
Til doubt forever disappears.

Together as One

Two souls entwined across the years,
Their smiles outweigh the count of tears,
Their strength combined against their fears,
Til doubt forever disappears.
Two lives now joined against it all,
Their hearts responding to love's call,
Though often backed against the wall,
They stand as one and never fall.
Two hands now linked for all to see,
To stand as one eternally,
Their shadows dance in ecstasy,
Towards the light of destiny.

Dedicated to Sarah and Chris on their special day

Verse #300

You'll never see what I can see,
nor be what I have come to be,
for all our similarity,
you never could be just like me.

Verse #299

Look towards the distant sun,
see the journey we've begun,
through the good and bad we've done,
marching forward- two as one.

Verse #298

See all that you wish to be,
free all that could not be free,
be the change you want to see,
for truth and love bring destiny.

Verse #297

Walk a thousand miles to see,
all a thousand hearts could be,
but for a thousand lies set free,
never to be you and me.

Verse #296

Angel of forgotten time,
sunset to the darkest day,
shadow of a life sublime,
close and yet so far away.

Verse #295

True love cannot be defined,
Nor by our mortal hands confined,
'Tis treasure sacred to each mind,
That only weathered hearts can find.

Prima Facie

The rising sun pervades my fear,
The danger growing ever near,
The loss of all I hold most dear,
This future that is so unclear.

The midday sun decays my hope,
The strength that once could help me cope,
The will with which I scaled each slope,
That final strand of fraying rope.

The setting sun consumes my sight,
The cold embrace of primal fright,
The dim remorse of carnal blight,
This dark descent into the night.

The rising moon now lights my way,
The warm invite to come and play,
The words no mortal man can say,
That final glimpse of my last day.

The midnight moon invades my dreams,
The book of life ripped at the seams,
The shadows of those distant screams,
This door to hell that ever gleams.

The setting moon soon closes in,
The end of all I once called kin,
The paper remnants of my skin,
That bid farewell to mortal sin.

Verse #294

The rising sun pervades my fear,
the danger of not being near,
the loss of all I hold most dear,
the future that is so unclear.

Verse #293

Take all that your heart desires,
all to which your soul aspires,
placed within these hell-borne fires,
left to burn til hope expires.

Verse #292

Paint the pictures in my mind,
all the secrets that you find,
from the dark days left behind,
to the days where love has shined.

Verse #291

Find your inner strength to fight,
keep the future in your sight,
follow hope's immortal light,
love will see you through this night.

Verse #290

Take my soul in both your hands,
show me that this love still stands,
keep me in this life we share,
step into my dreams with care.

Verse #289

Time to cry- just let me be,
Time to run- just watch me flee,
Time to grow- just wait and see,
Time to live- just set me free.

Verse #288

Forgive the things they make you do,
forget all that they say to you,
the time has come to take a stand,
your life is more than they have planned.

Deautiful

She follows every order,
Would never cross the line,
She cannot leave their border,
Nor let her true light shine.

She longs to have her freedom,
To be all that she could be,
She cannot bear to hurt them,
Giving up her destiny.

She waits within the shadows,
Scared she'll disappear in time,
She hates the truth that she knows,
That this all should be a crime.

Verse #287

Wait for me- don't leave me now,
talk to me- please tell me how,
pray for me- if gods will hear,
rescue me from all I fear.

Stray

Here am I- alone and scared,
A wanderer still unprepared,
A hero with no battles won,
A shadow waiting for the sun.

Here am I- forever lost,
A sacrifice not worth the cost,
A star devoid of energy,
A soul without a destiny.

Here am I- in need of love,
A demon cast from high above,
A whisper of an ancient sound,
A blight upon this sacred ground.

Verse #286

Lead the way through life's long maze,
blaze a trail for all to see,
ignore the things each doubter says,
be all that you seek to be.

Verse #285

Plant a flag upon my heart,
lay your claim upon my soul,
rule me so we never part,
keep me under your control.

Verse #284

Take these words and write a song,
sing it for both right and wrong,
find our love in all you see,
let this bond forever be.

Verse #283

Seven horrors we have seen, seven places we have been, seven secrets never shared, seven years with no love spared.

Verse #282

Clear the air of all that's been,
Wipe the slate completely clean,
Close the book and start again,
Seems love is more than we knew then.

Verse #282

Clear the air of all that's been,
Wipe the slate completely clean,
Close the book and start again,
Seems love is more than we knew then.

Verse #281

Waiting for the world to turn,
praying for the sun to rise,
hoping that the stars still burn,
in these cold immortal skies.

Verse #280

Leave me here alone and scared,
hurt by those who never cared,
no hope for what we could have shared,
this broken heart could not be spared.

Verse #279

Shape the world I see today.
Set the path that I should know,
Mark the map to show the way,
Kiss me quick before I go.

Verse #278

Hurry up- don't wait for me,
let your heart and soul be free,
find the truth in what you see,
let this love reveal the key.

Verse #277

relieve my heart of this patrol,
help me reach my life's true goal.

A place where I can be with you,
To spend our days as man and wife,
And make this one a perfect life.

More to Life :: a kenarik poem

To live is more than just to breathe,
More than a sword to wield and sheathe,
Though battles rage at every turn,
I will not let those fires burn.
Life is a dream- a world of chance,
So take my hand and join the dance
And make each step a star to count,
To bring our love into account,
To live is more than just to be,
Especially when you're not with me,
Tis more than just that empty bed,
Where still fill your precious head,
Life is true love- a world for two,
A place where I can be with you,
To spend our days as man and wife,
And make this one a perfect life.

A collaborative work by Kenneth Chavez Luna and Arik Fletcher

Verse #266

Rock my world and break me down,
Make me smile to take my crown,
Paint my world in black and brown,
Give me hope then let me drown.

Verse #263

Save us from this world gone mad,
From the strange things that we do,
All the chances we have had,
Nothing left to help us through.

Verse #262

Demons aching to be free,
Screaming deep inside of me,
Longing for all they can see,
Plotting for what cannot be.

Hollowpoint

Storm clouds darkening with dread,
Hanging here above my head,
Hiding from the skies they've fled,
Floating on the fear they're fed.

Darkness looking for its kind,
Shadows roam each maze they find,
Digging through my weakened mind,
Leaving nothing safe behind.

Empty visions roaming free,
Dreamless void all I can see,
Hollow shell that once was me,
Alone forever more to be.

Verse #261

Wait for me- don't leave me here,
Take my hand- forsake my fear,
Walk with me- don't let us part,
Stay right here- protect my heart.

Redmarch

Crimson cloud devoid of light,
Drifting shadow in the night,
Sacred soldier of the right,
Heart and blade prepared to fight.
Carmine ripples in the flight,
Darkness fueled by noble plight,
Saved the grief of pain or fright,
One less remnant of this blight.
Scarlet rain on fields of white,
Painted canvas glowing bright,
Ascending through this ancient rite,
No more a simple acolyte.

Verse #260

Set your sights on something new,
lay out all that we could do,
make a plan to see this through,
the time has come for me and you.

shield us both with sacred blood,
let them take our mighty wall.

Brace my soul against the fall,
In your arms my future lies.

Brace my soul against the fall,
In your arms my future lies.

Show me all your love tonight,
bathe me in its blinding light,
break me in its awesome might,
conquer me without a fight.

Aftermath

Feel the scars upon my skin,
Keep me from what could have been,
Save me from this dark embrace,
Find the steps I can't retrace.

Clear the cold mist from my eyes,
Help me see through this disguise,
Wipe the cobwebs from my mind,
Guide me to what I can't find.

Take me far away from here,
Separate me from my fear,
Keep my heart safe from it all,
Catch me now before I fall.

See through this controlled disguise,
Find the truth beneath my skin,
Save me from the beast within.

share your soul in all you say,
in our hearts this love with stay.

Gone but never truly lost,
always here inside your heart,
love will bridge the distance
crossed, never will we be apart.

Standing on the brink of tears,
Drifting on the winds of pain,
Sinking in a sea of fears,
Lying here alone again.

Stare into the setting sun,
set your demons free to run,
lay to rest what has been done,
let your heart and soul be one.

Chances missed along the way,
Wasted moments gone from sight,
Losing more each passing day.

Verse #247

Breathe the scent of this new day,
Feel the wind run through each tree,
Set your goals and find your way,
Let this sunrise set you free.

Siofra

Creature of my own design,
Brought to bear upon this world,
Taking all that had been mine,
Deadly talons neatly curled.

Demon of Angelic form,
Crafted from the depths of me,
Spirit pure and heart so warm,
All that I could never be.

Spark of life that chose to stay,
Making way for something new,
Glowing brighter each new day,
Forcing me to see this through.

Sunlight on my darkened mind,
Creeping underneath my skin,
Love that I could never find,
Keeping me from hate and sin.

Verse #246

Reach into this broken shell,
Take the heart that beats within,
Send my soul right back to hell,
Punish me for all your sin.

Forgotten

From the light each one rebelled,
To the dark each gave their soul,
Shadows of the forms they held,
In this endless night's patrol.

From the light each one was sent,
Through the dark they made their way,
Cursed beasts beyond repent,
Craving for the break of day.

From the light each one was cast,
In the dark they made their home,
Far from their once noble past,
Ever more the night to roam.

Art of Life

Sketch your life into my mind,
Fill the shadows with your pain,
Leave all troubled thoughts behind,
Here with me you're safe again.

Paint my love upon your heart,
Frame your soul in my embrace,
Sign this precious work of art,
Keep it in that special place.

Carve your dreams into my skin,
Trace a path that links each one,
Separate the hate within,
Free yourself from all you've done.

Forge a perfect world from this,
Sculpted from our flesh and bone,
Somewhere safe in endless bliss,
Far from all you've ever known.

Verse #244

You take away the best of me,
And put it to the test to see,
What use the rest of it could be,
Chained up lest it should set me free.

Verse #242

Darkness follows every move,
Shadows covet every groove,
Demons goading you to fight,
Angels call you to the light.

Verse #242

Wake up with the rising sun,
See the world reborn anew,
Take a fresh look at this life,
Show them all a stronger you.

Before the Now

Thinking back on all I've seen,
On all the pain and joy that's been,
Everything that has brought me here,
Through all the times of hope and fear,

Thinking of all that I've known,
The good and bad that I've been shown,
All that has taught me wrong from right,
Through darkest day and darker night,

Thinking back on all I've done,
On all the journeys I've begun,
Everything that has shaped my mind,
Through all that has been left behind,

Thinking of my life thus far,
Each battle that has left a scar,
This future I could never see,
Through shadows of what could not be,

Thinking on to times ahead,
Of all that I no longer dread,
The life that I have come to know,
This love I hope will ever grow.

Verse #241

Speak to me right from the heart,
Share your secrets from the start,
Seek true freedom in the night,
Spare my dark soul from the light.

Breathe into my frozen soul,
Bring the flames to life once more,
Keep my heart in your control,
Safe from all that came before.

Sweet Somnus I implore thee,
Take me to your sacred keep,
From this restless world of shadows,
To your haven of the deep.

Verse #238

Loved ones must someday depart,
Gone but ever in our heart,
Though we miss their company,
Love lives on eternally.

Verse #237

Nothing to say now and nothing to do,
All that I am now is nothing to you,
Everything over and everything through,
All of me gone to make everything you.

Verse #236

Find the path that others walk,
Set the pace in your own way,
Help those that are left behind,
They may help you another day.

Verse #235

Falling into shadowed graves,
Sinking in these blackened waves,
Feeding darkness all it craves,
Breathing life into it's slaves.

Verse #234

Show me somewhere never seen,
hold me when I start to scream,
bring me hope for what has been,
give me more than just a dream.

Show me somewhere never seen, hold me when I start to scream, bring me hope for what has been, give me more than just a dream.

Verse #233

Life grants us but a single chance,
a solo movement in this dance,
our moment lost in just one glance,
no way to break out of this trance.

Verse #232

Build me up and tear me down,
storm my Kingdom and my Keep,
breach my walls and take my crown,
leave me up in these dungeons deep.

Cherished gifts forgotten never,
Sacred thoughts we'll always treasure,
Precious dreams beyond all measure.

On this very special day,
Souls entwined by holy light,
Where the greatest poets lay.

On a journey far from home,
Over hill and field we roam,
On the way to join our kin,
Let the weekend soon begin.

Another cycle just begun,
Another step towards the sun,
Another day with work to do,
Another night for just us two.

Verse #227

Look at me but walk on by,
Shadows keep me from your eye,
Hear the despair in my cry,
Distance helps your heart to lie.

Verse #226

Drive me to the edge of fate,
Turn me from all that I know,
Steer me through the path of hate,
Break me down before you go.

Sendatsu

Only you can help decide,
Keep the secrets I confide,
Stay forever by my side,
Fill this empty void inside.

Only you can show the way,
Rescue me and save the day,
Give me hope with all you say,
Cleanse my soul so I can pray.

Only you can set me free,
Help me be all I can be,
Find the path that I can't see,
Hold my hand and walk with me.

Verse #225

Only you can help decide,
Keep the secrets I confide,
Stay forever by my side,
Fill this empty void inside.

Verse #224

Light from darkness,
Truth from lies,
Love from hatred,
Through your eyes.

From the brink

Walk with me through all we've seen,
Talk me through all that we've been,
Take away each nagging doubt,
Help my heart to work this out.

Take my hand and hold it tight,
Talk to me and stay in sight,
Keep me safe and ease my fright,
Sit with me all through the night.

Stay with me for just a while,
Share with me your secret smile,
Show me there is more to this,
Save my soul with just one kiss.

Verse #223

Like an ancient sailing ship,
In the ocean's loving grip,
Lost to these dark waters deep,
Waiting where the merfolk sleep.

Pain before pleasure,
work with no leisure,
heart beyond measure,
love the true treasure.

Verse #221

Mind the gaps between each lie,
Do not block the door to hope,
See the tracks of life roll by,
Reach that place where love can cope.

Verse #220

Break the mold and change your form,
Make a start on something new,
Take a chance and be reborn,
Stake your claim on something true.

Verse #219

Turning back the clock,
Taking back the time,
Searching for a secret,
With this little rhyme.

Verse #218

I'll see you- will you see me?
I'll dream that you could dream of me,
I'll think of you- please think of me?
I'll wait for you to wait for me.

Second Walk

Shadows walk with me again,
Calling out my name,
Darkness watches me again,
Playing out this game,

Fangs grow wet and sharp again,
Vision blurring out,
Hunger pangs grow strong again,
Mind filling with doubt,

Taking in that scent again,
Puts me in a daze,
Finding that sweet taste again,
Sets my heart ablaze,

Fighting with myself again,
Though my will is strong,
Losing this safe hold again,
Hiding for too long.

Verse #217

Drifting right across the length,
Bearing down upon my back,
Draining me of all my strength,
Fading all I see to black.

Verse #216

Leave my heart here for a while,
Let it be safe from your guile,
Leave my body where it stands,
Let it be safe from your hands.

Verse #216

Leave my heart here for a while,
Let it be safe from your guile,
Leave my body where it stands,
Let it be safe from your hands.

Verse #215

Is this all there is to see,
Is this all there is to be,
Is this all there is for me,
Is this what will set me free?

Verse #214

Keep me close, don't let me fall,
Feel my pain and hear my call,
Save me from this dark embrace,
Find the steps I can't retrace.

Verse #213

Work me like the slave I am,
Cut me like a piece of ham,
Hold me like you give a damn,
Love me like its not a sham.

Verse #212

Break the seal and let it flow,
A sweeter taste you'll never know,
The nectar of the gods above,
A precious gift of endless love.

Coven Cold

What happened to our haven,
That most sacred of all towns,
What once was vibrant and alive,
Now home to mindless clowns,

What happened to our people,
Those children of the night,
Who once were strong and plenty,
Now shadows in the light,

What happened to our glory,
All that we swore to keep,
What once gave us true power,
Now simply makes us weep.

Verse #211

Help my heart to heal again,
Teach my soul to feel again,
Help me flee this scene again,
Teach my mind to dream again.

Verse #210

Clear the cold mist from my eyes,
Wipe the cobwebs from my mind,
Help me see through this disguise,
Guide me to what I can't find.

Verse #209

And so the beast descends again,
My mind once more becomes it's den,
Through visions dark with fantasy,
It's dreams become reality.

Verse #208

Moving forward down this road,
Falling further than we know,
Weary from this heavy load,
Far to late for us to grow.

Verse #207

Searching for an escape from the hell that I perceive,
looking for an answer in the questions I receive,
hunting for some insight in the thoughts that I conceive,
hoping for some guidance from a source that can't deceive.

Verse #206

Take my hand and hold it tight,
Talk to me and stay in sight,
Keep me safe and ease my fright,
Sit with me all through the night.

Verse #205

Sacred lotus of the Nile,
Cradle of that ancient land,
Grace me with your blessed smile,
Guide me with your godly hand.

Seeker

Is this the world I used to watch?
The world for which I gave my wings,
This place of thieves and murderers,
That once was full of precious things,

Is this the creature I've become?
The creature that I used to guard,
This species so far from my own,
That has no artist, muse, or bard,

Is this the land I used to roam?
The land for which I took an oath,
This place of hatred and disease,
That once was sacred to us both,

Is this the future that I sought?
The future that denied me youth,
This march of ever shorter days,
That takes me further from the truth.

Verse #204

Keep me in the dark of day,
keep me safe from all they say,
keep me in your ancient way,
keep me far from all their prey.

Verse #203

Free my mind from all the pain,
Cleanse my heart with holy rain,
Make my doubt and hate refrain,
Teach me how to love again,

Verse #202

Put my body to the test,
Pit my mind against the best,
Show me freedom not in jest,
Send me home so I can rest.

Verse #200

Let your love grow like a flower,
Take a petal for each wrong,
Feed it each and every hour,
Keep it ever growing strong.

Garden on Life

Plant your love just like a seed,
Nurture it with each good deed,
Show it light through hope and truth,
Care for it throughout its youth,

Distance those who would devour,
Cherish each and every flower,
Save the leaves of colder years,
Wash them clean with your own tears,

Remember right and forgive wrong,
Keep the stem forever strong,
One day that seed will be a tree,
The fruit of love for all to see.

Verse #199

When darkness takes its bitter hold,
and life has left you in the cold,
I'll share my light and keep you warm,
Together braced against the storm.

Verse #198

Turn the page to something new,
Our story now in chapter two,
Another challenge we must face,
To reach that ending we still chase.

Verse #197

Send a message out of hell,
Ringing out that fateful bell,
From the place where heroes fell,
Following that mournful knell.

Verse #196

Something there yet out of sight,
Somewhere close just out of reach,
Somehow watching from the night,
Someone waiting for a breach.

DestiNot

Hot with passion,
Cold with shame,
Beauty with a secret name,

Sun by day,
And star by night,
Kiss so sweet but far from right,

Love and laughter,
Fear and doubt,
Strangers to the world about,

Light and dark,
Two souls one heart,
Doomed before they even start.

Verse #195

Share a piece of love with me,
Help me end this misery,
Spare a thought for what could be,
Help me find eternity.

Verse #194

The rain not far ahead today,
A pain inside my head today,
My brain still in the red today,
Disdain for all you've said today.

Verse #193

Dark heart in the light so bright,
Old heart young again in flight,
Cold heart warming up alright,
Half heart whole again tonight.

Siren

Tell me more about your art,
Only you know what to say,
Read to me right from the heart,
In your voice I'll find the way.

Answer me with just your eyes,
Make me feel alive today,
On a journey through the skies,
Sailing in the blue and gray.

Show the magic of your dance,
Once the curtains have been raised,
Never miss or lose the chance,
Grace my life and long be praised.

Verse #192

Walk with me through all we've seen,
Talk me through all that we've been,
Take away each nagging doubt,
Make a choice to work this out.

Auto Draft

Verse #191

Sing the sweetest song to me,
dance when only I can see,
paint our love from fantasy,
make us all that we could be.

Verse #190

Drain away my blood and tears,
Separate me from my fears,
Take away all my desires,
Cast my heart into the fires.

Shadow of Love

Watching as you walk on by,
Wanting just to catch your eye,
Needing you to help me fly,
Trying hard to smile not cry,

Wishing that you could be mine,
Waiting for the bells to chime,
Dreaming of those eyes that shine,
Thinking of you all the time,

Walking through life's busy throng,
Wondering if I've got this wrong,
Living with your ghost so long,
Drifting in this love so strong.

Verse #189

As every night must follow day,
so every heart will find a way,
for every soul to have it's say,
that true love will forever stay.

Verse #188

I walk this land of ghosts by day,
Without you near to light my way,
I blend in with the pale and gray,
My heart and soul with you will stay.

Heart in Hand

Hold my hand and share this night,
Stay right here- always in sight,
Keep me in your loving arms,
Protect me from all of my qualms,

Hold my hand and light my way,
Stay right here- be mine today,
Keep me with you for all time,
Share with me this life sublime,

Hold my hand and walk with me,
Stay right here- don't let me be,
Keep me in your heart and mind,
Don't let my soul be left behind.

Verse #187

Blend to what they want to see,
Bend to what they want to be,
Spend all that is left of me,
Send all that can set you free.

Soul Cage

Make me happy,
Make me sad,
Make me all that gets you mad,

Give me colour,
Give me shape,
Give me wings for my escape,

Take my essence,
Take my heart,
Take my image in your art,

Keep me captive,
Keep me whole,
Keep me framed in your control.

Verse #186

Keep the sun upon your back,
Don't get lost in all you lack,
Keep moving on the path you've set,
Please don't forgot all those you've met.

Before the Now

Thinking back on all I've seen,
On all the pain and joy that's been,
Everything that has brought me here,
Through all the times of hope and fear,

Thinking of all that I've known,
The good and bad that I've been shown,
All that has taught me wrong from right,
Through darkest day and darker night,

Thinking back on all I've done,
On all the journeys I've begun,
Everything that has shaped my mind,
Through all that has been left behind,

Thinking of my life thus far,
Each battle that has left a scar,
This future I could never see,
Through shadows of what could not be,

Thinking on to times ahead,
Of all that I no longer dread,
The life that I have come to know,
This love I hope will ever grow.

Without my eyes my heart will seek,
Without my ears my soul will hear,
Without my flesh I'll still be near.

Verse #181

Far from all I hold most dear,
no one here to calm my fear,
longing for them to be here,
all alone save for this tear.

Verse #180

Take away all that I feel,
break apart my fragile mind,
fake a way to help me heal,
make the truth more hard to find.

Verse #179

Call on me when you're in need,
I'll keep you warm when you get cold,
I'll heal your wounds before they bleed,

Kira-chan

She walks in shadows of lost love,
all her dreams long left behind,
abandoned by the gods above,
lost too long for them to find.

Dark clouds hang above her heart,
drops of rain that drench her soul,
cold winds blowing through her mind,
tears beyond her self control.

She stares into the lake of hope,
the waves reflecting on her face,
she lets go of life's fraying rope,
to find true love in death's embrace.

Verse #173

Place your hopes and dreams in me,
I'll be here for you to see,
Let your heart and soul walk free,
I'll help you to find the key.

Verse #172

Dark clouds hang above her heart,
drops of rain that drench her soul,
cold winds blowing through her mind,
tears beyond her self control.

Verse #171

The gestures of a noble few,
so often missed by me and you,
are acts that mark their names divine,
forever more their lights will shine.

Verse #170

Those we love are never far,
even when we cannot see,
in our hearts they truly are,
and forever they shall be.

Eterni2

Broken hearts before our birth,
Damaged souls that walked the Earth,
Joined as if by simple chance,
Healed as one in life's strange dance,

Pain and loss have stormed our keep,
Grief and anger scarred us deep,
Yet still we stand as one today,
No force could take our bond away.

The worst may still be yet to come,
And all we have may come undone,
But one thing stands forever true,
My heart and soul belong to you.

Valeven

Love is made but can't be bought,
Love is learned but can't be taught,

Love is life that cannot die,
Love is truth and cannot lie,

Love is how our hearts are freed,
Love is all we'll ever need.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Verse #169

With a heart full of love,
and a mind full of you,
that dream of forever,

Verse #168

Dreams that make my heart go weak,
Thoughts beyond my mind's control,
Words I've never dared to speak,
Bearing down upon my soul.

Verse #167

Son of many distant lands,
Blood of many different sands,
Heart of many distinct hands,
Soul that no one understands.

Verse #166

I speak, I hear, and I can see,
I know more than could ever be,
I change the face of history,
I am your road to destiny.

Verse #165

Doorway to the truth behind,
Stained glass view of each one's mind,
Secrets there for you to find,
All your thoughts revealed in kind.

Verse #164

Stare deep into my bold eyes,
touch my ice cold finger tips,
bring me down to my true size,
speak to me through my own lips.

Verse #163

Wear me every day you're here,
feel me slip and slide in fear,
age me with each passing year,
of all you own I am most dear.

Verse #162

A mist descends upon my mind,
My vision blurred within this cloud,
Whispered thoughts for me to find,
shadows moving through the crowd.

Verse #162

The bane of all existence that we cannot live without,
a thing we all must have unless we are devout,
like grass it isn't greener on any other side,
but its rule is without question and it's law we must abide.

Dreamscape

Come with me to our new home,
Far away from where they roam,
On the wings of dragons tamed,
Far above all that's been named.

Come with me to lift the seal,
Far from all the gods reveal,
Through the hardships still ahead,
Far away from what's been said.

Come with me to worlds unknown,
Far away from all they own,
On a cloud of dreams we've shared,
Far from all that makes you scared.

Come with me to start anew,
Far from all they've put us through,
With the light of love to guide,
Far away from where they hide.
