Gazing at the shoreAbove the ocean's roarI look upon the moonAnd long for her once more Waves go rushing inI see her face againAnd wonder if she'd changeMy loss into a win It's doubtful now I knowStill I did love her soBut feelings fade to grayWhen loving cannot grow Saltwater mists I feelNear shores that still seem realWithout her smile so brightMy ship has shown its keel I'm sinking by the beamMy heart has lost its stea...

She lit the fire for warmth. The room was cold. It burned with carmine flames, And sanguine expectations of illuminationThat never cameDue to a shortage of blood and strengthAmongst the men and women in her life. It was the highest form of praiseFor her to even nodAt someoneToday. That was yesterday,When the scarlet flames flickered and almost died,And now the fire was burning in her hearthAnd in her ruby heartOnce again....

The skies are open, tears may freely fall,Your sacrifice is known by those who care, So wash away the pain and stand up tall,His faithless accusations are laid bare. Be brave my love and laugh with tears of joy,Allow the rains to do what they may do,Erasing base attempts that would alloyYour heart so strong and pure as morning dew. Remember when you first were here for meWe shared a place that rarely can be found.And then...

Dark sky, troubled heart trapped by clouds,Sapphire waves, uncovered mind trapped in the sounds,Oh Holy man, enlighten me, guide me to my call,Eyes shut, embrace my heart, light up my Soul,Who is the hero who will not fall?

Do you remember when we metOr have you started to forgetIt's been so many years agoI wonder if it's yes or no You took me to your secret placeAbove the mundane world in spaceA tower built to watch for firesI thought my love would fill desires You never left my heart you knowNot even when you let me goAnd pledged your troth to someone newRejected I still pined for you He flashed and burned and lost his chanceSo you allowed...

The truth is true no matter what they sayWe see the horrors of the hate each day. No matter how they hide the ugly partsThey never stay unknown from those with hearts. So soar above the filthy lucre lustAnd always give your faith to those you trust. Create your beauty with the joy you spreadAnd you will dance upon the road ahead. Tell those who spread their evil lies aroundThat you will always let true good abound. I tell...

The trolls came out to play that nightExpecting everyone to flee, But nothing they could do caused fright.Their ugliness was met with glee. We knew they lived amongst us nowAnd how to keep away from them.We blocked them out, we knew just how,And kept our home a perfect gem. The past foretold that they would comeAs ever foulness will appear.Already we knew we had someThat softly whispered in our ear. They wished that we wo...

Touching my hair with a gentle caress Bringing me back from the darkest abyssShowing the tenderness I had so missedWith softness and pity my lips were kissed Gazing with eyes that glittered with tearsStroking my face and erasing my fears Hugging me closely and giving me strengthRocking my body you soothed me at length Never believing that I did not countYour faith was worth more than any amount How can I ever repay what's...

Sometimes a story is just a storySometimes a fool is a fool or just dumb Sometimes a man can be simple and numbErring as he basks in faded glory. Thinking you know what you just cannot knowThinking you need to intrude in this way Thinking you should even have any sayMakes one believe that you still need to grow. Knowing when you should mind your own businessKnowing when all that you think is quite wrongKnowing when it's j...

My dreams consist of torturous realities I dream dreams most would consider nightmares With war and gore But they’re actually just a recap of what happened The day before I used to sleep with a peace that can only be achieved by a child Who can’t see the world and its inevitable tragedies But now I’m just kept awake by a fiend inside of me She’s like the pied piper if you ask me Luring the children out of safety with a pr...

It's winter and the winds do blowBut we are safe inside you know. My metal art upon the wallIs rattling and about to fall. With special hooks I make it tightSo it will stay a happy sight. It's hammered in a gleeful styleTo give arriving guests a smile. Like many pieces round our placeIt makes our home a pleasant space. We've gathered art from distant partsEnriching both our lives and hearts. Along with books that line our...

Accept your role, it will not changeWhile takers have the upper hand, But know that it will not derangeYour life beyond a mere demandTo serve the trolls that hold controlOf all our joy and all that's dear,Just wait to hear the first drum rollAnd watch as plunderers know fear. Soon comes the revolution friendsThat sends the monsters to their fateAnd shadows fall upon the endsOf evil creatures filled with hate.The new world...

It's sunset and the sky is red,By sunrise I'll be found as dead. I'm waiting as the tide rolls in,Regretting all that might have been. Not caring if I see the lightFrom all the stars or moon tonight.My story is an ancient oneOf love that's gone, a life undone. With shivers I have disrobed here,The coldness tells me death is nearThe waters surge about me now,I feel the chill, I touch my brow Recalling days that came to pas...

How do you know pure white,if you have never seen freshly fallen snow? How do you know pure light,if you have never observed sun's glow? How do you know pure darkness,if you have never ventured deep below? How do you know pure color's,if you have never seen a rainbow? How do you know pure happiness,if in your mind, sadness can't bestow? How do you know pure pain,if you have never been within the throe? How do you know pur...

Re: * GIFT * Ahhhh. A sharp hiss inward, a backward sigh, like a kiss being Took my breath away. From where my inscrutable shadows eclipse a heart sometimes The view - but such a life-affirming image. The water rushes back in. The oxygen returns, pulled into rotation. Gravitas. The planets dance. The stars keep their secrets. Life goes on. ----- Lovely gift! Thank you. XO - kmf (RedSonja) (after a shot of earthrise, half...
