Carpenter saw himself catching the Princess before she would have struck the cold marble floor and injured herself. He brushed the hair off her face and stared, as her beauty was breathtaking. He was still staring when the Princess opened her eyes and looked him dead in the face. She screamed at the sight she beheld. It was the face of her betrothed but now she saw blood running down his cheeks and his pallor was very pal...

I wait and I wait for a message from you, Though I know that you're busy, you've got stuff to do. You might be out of sight but you're way on my mind And I try to be generous, not to think you unkind.~o~ I glance at my watch, I'm still here all alone. I keep looking for mail and, again, check my phone. I try to stay upbeat and not to feel blue But I'm all on my lonesome and thinking of you. ~o~ I find myself antsy, not qu...

Just so you know I still love you. Just so you know. Waiting for it to come,the day of final joy,evermore,but the pain is not washed away,waiting,in the rain,just so you know. But you don't know,because of my shyness,and fear,so I sneak a glance,just a quick look,to a window,to a face much adored, and explored, with seeking eyes,and my eyes are wet,from the rain,just so you know. It's my secret deep inside,never displayed...

Us...

with all my heart, and all that I am, I love you...

With all that I am, With every breath I take, You're all I wish for asleep, or awake. My soul mate you are, Till the day that we die, Even in the ever after next to you I will lie. We are as one, Both heart and soul, Where one goes the other will follow. In darkness and light, Joy and sorrow, You'll always be my tomorrow.

I am the beast that you feel in the night  bold girl walking alone in the dark  self assurance in your every stride  when you return to your home I watch for you I am the whisper you thought that you heard  the word that did not quite register at first  your name, whispered softly, silent as spring wind the name I cannot resist using as a form of worship I am quiet and motionless as you saunter by  I am present each night...

Hope

My first poem, written for that special person we are all destined to meet.

You cannot kill Love  but it can dieI nurture mine each passing moment I feed it memories of soft kisses gentle touches intimacy With a lover gone I know not where or why my Love grows stronger hardier with each day that passes It knows no bounds as it grows in search of her My hope ?Should my lover ever return or even pass by she might kiss a leaf from me to make me blossom  forever

Long Distance Love

Oh, how I love thee...

Laying in their separate beds in different parts of the country, they each hug their pillows close imagining it the other as they send sweet messages of love. Both wanting longing to go back to yesterday when they were together sharing soft passionate kisses as they held each other in the same bed. Now they close their eyes As they drift off to sleep they remember each other’s aroma which brings a smile to their face. Oh,...

Bright pain burns my orbs, Stabs through the gray. Salt trembles to spill. Do you not think of me? “Its not fair,” I long to screech at your back, Yet I am prostrate before, Begging your return, Trembling pink pout, and aching core.My friend gone, a husk there remains, Shade of the past that was, Future hidden in that ghost. Crying from my cellar door, Seeking in the heavens your tower gate. Barred to my entreaty it remai...

Bittersweet Memories

My memories of you are forever.

I look at you sitting in the bay window, overlooking the setting sun, as twilight slowly approaches the Pacific Ocean. My heart feels warm and my soul is full of love. You sit there with your knees up, arms wrapping around them with your head resting there, tilting watching smiling at me. The sun's rays come through the glass wrapping your head in a golden halo, my sweet angel. You smile and mouth to me, "I Love You, My D...

the last piece of the puzzle

to one i care about but vanish

Never noticing how empty I have become. Time has pass me by. 2 x Loneliness Is the only thing you have left behind? Just barely holding on, I suck in your last images in my mind. I fall and trembled,but I keep continuing to ran. Where are you at? Left and right,but no trace of your face. Have I lost you forever? Why can’t you understand? Without you, (the last piece of the puzzle) the world becomes dark and gloomy. Why di...

I heard the door close today. A soft sigh of air pushed aside. You, home with me after all this time.The water in my bath shimmered.Droplets cascaded over out thrust breasts as I shifted, Longing to feel your touch along my flank. Did the floor creak? A pillow of rainbowed soap bubbles lathered, In swaths I scraped the surface clean. Why did I sense you here?You’d never been to this place. I could hear your voice, its sir...

My Lady, I’m missing you,That burn, the lasting finish.The way the bottle opens*Crack*, it goes, *glug*,Out pours my Lady. My nostrils take you in, I inhale deeply, I feel that burn,My eyes water a little.My lips rest on the edge of the glass,Nose deeply embedded.The first sip is a slow one,I let you linger and you burn,Slowly I swallow.Burn.You start in the back of my mouth,Slowly slide down my throat,A fire spreads thro...

Nosferatu Immortalis

Bathed in morning’s pure glorious light, go forth and find your peace.

On a cold dark night a figure stood, Pale face shrouded in darkened hood, Statuesque, as though carved from wood; No beauty held the night sky. As pale as soapstone, his damp cold skin, No breath to see nor heartbeat within, A tear rolled down from cheek to chin; To stand alone and cry. The sobbing, such a sorrowful tune, Witnessed only by the resolute moon, Release he wished and ever so soon From the curse of eternal lif...

Until You Come Home

Waiting for a love to return..

I wave you goodbye; I'll miss you so very much, Until you come home. Hey! Blow me a kiss; I’ll miss you so very much; I’ll catch it with my lips. It's too quiet here now. I miss you so very much; Talk to me in my dreams. I crave your gentle touch. I miss you so very much, I need you here now. I will wait for you; I miss you so very much, Under our willow tree. When you come home, I won’t miss you anymore. You’ll be here t...
