You can climb to the mountain peak
But it won't set you free
You'll find it's lonely at the top
And the air is hard to breathe

You can search the ocean deep
For pearls pure and true
But in your search, I think you'll find
The water's cold and cruel

You can travel lands of brightest suns
In search of warmth to find
Abandon shelter that you've known
Just leave it all behind

But the sun will surely betray you
The mirage of bliss, scorched and burned
Perfection a dream that can't be reached
Another hard lesson learned

When your quest is finally over
You'll realize the love i had was true
But I won't be here with open arms
'cause you've no more roads to choose
for those who have been someone's last resort one too many times

The difference is,
Thou would calleth her a rose,

Yet,
I would calleth her mine queen!!!

The mad allure
the bite, the cure
haste and taste of you
splendorous kiss
sudden slip, we drip
wet in rivulets
of sweat

Our flaming fire
swallowed by desire
a gathering storm
so calmly warm, just before
the fall, the come hither call
that pours and pours
drops of diaphanous rain

Here we sleep under star flowers
a flash of meteor showers
our room a fire light - full bloom
sigh and breath of moon
we travel nights like this
in a sky of sparkling jewels
swim and dream, float
in shimmering pools.

My wings have turn into light.. They shine brighter than any star I have ever gazed at..  As I lift myself into the sky I outshine the night like a blue rising sun..  I then turn to the stars above and I leave the Planet behind me..  I have become a Star Dragon...  I have done what I was meant to do for so long.. I see colors that I have never seen before..  I feel as though this expanse is not big enough for me.. That this new eternity will some day end..  But my soul smiles inside of me and tells me " This is just the beginning.."    I feel a light calling to me on the other side of this galaxy.. It will be my first destination as a Star Dragon..
Secalos:  Astral Blue Star Mage:  Star fire Serpent of the cosmos..
Wings of light take me to the stars..

What words would Winter whisper,
When the last warm rays
Of sweet Summer sister
Have shone beyond forgone horizons?
His hands clasp blistered,
Embraced by the rhythm of fate.
Love conquers all but his envy is great,

And it grows,

And it blows,

And the Winds are rising,

Giving voice to once silent trees.
Through the maelstrom
Winter watches.
A feeble man on bended knees
Cradles the embers of fire.
Winter froze with desire
While stunned by despair,
That even man could find warmth
While his sky lay frozen and bare.

Wind applied his might
Not only on birds in flight
But on the Ocean too

I think somewhere down the line in our parents' efforts to give us everything they never had, they forgot to give us what they Did have~

Grandpa had grit
He knew how to fight
Not for sport
but for that which was right

Up at dawn
His trade was life
Doing what he must
Dusting off strife

He'd say "It's just a reminder
that we're all still alive"
He'd just square back his shoulders
and cut Hell down to size

All but gone are the days
of men standing strong
Everything's grey
there's no right or wrong

We sit back and wonder
where our glory days went
I saw them galloping towards purgatory
saddled with truth, upon common sense

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks
And no one tries
No one flies around the sun

Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

we often forget that suffering
is not mutually exclusive.
it feels like looking at a star
and not seeing the sky.

i'm not looking for your pity.
i just want to you acknowledge
that you are not the sun.
the earth doesn't orbit you.

maybe you're hurting.
don't forget: i can hurt too.
Sometimes being drain we have to crawl till we can walk.
Sometimes we have to go through the swampland here.
To get to the dry land that we are searching for here.
Sometimes we have to go through prisons here on earth.
To reach the promise land that we been searching for.
Because only through the hard things here on the earth.
We will only understand God in our live here on the earth.
Though all of his protection, blessings, and his Goodness.
For only through the bad times here can we see Gods Goodness.

Men these day's seeketh many Queens
I seeketh one
A wife of starlit moonbeam!!!!
Living moment by moment can be so hard to do.
But sometimes this is exactly how Christ wing us.
Sometimes the addiction seems stronger then us.
Sometimes all that we can do is hang to Christ.
Using his strength to overcoming the craving.
But at times it seem so hard to overcome it then.
Even though we might have went through so much.
But you were there holding on to us the whole time.
Calming the storm that was raging deep within us.
While we kept drawing upon your strength to overcome.
