Ghoulish
Dereaux Sep 2020
A beautiful forest nymph
tried to put a spell on me
her shiny eyes trying to lure
I quickly hide behind a tree

What treacherous sorcery
I have to overcome
before I turn into a toad
a spell that can't be undone

Her magic mystical powers
firing beams upon my soul
trying to blind the inner of me
and capturing me as a ghoul

Our path
Dereaux Sep 2020
I came into this world
where I couldn't see
cause the bright light of life
was blinding me

I made a choice
and had to strive
cleared lots of rubble
before I could thrive

But this was my path
that I had to go
sometimes it went fast
and other times slow

It was trouble and pain
but I have no regret
cause this was the way
how we two could met

Crime
Dereaux Sep 2020
Much reading
in my prison cell
kept me fascinated there.

Problem was however
that what is offered
was a mere crime

Dereaux Aug 2020

and keep you
by my side

Gettin' lucky
Dereaux Aug 2020
I wrote
a sensual poem
naughty and corny.
Praying that
when she read it
it would make
my wife *****

She read
and she read
she read a bit more
I'd hoped when she was done
to take her right on the floor

I looked at her
and asked
so what do you say?
Did my passionate writing
soak your ******* away.

She gave a short moan
and I thought I had luck
But she quickly
answered to me
I don't give a ****.
please correct my English when it's written the wrong way.

Cloud
Dereaux Aug 2020
I don't know
what it is all about
but someone is
sitting on my cloud.

I try to scare him
so he goes away
but nothing helps
he's gonna stay

Looking in magic books
for some kind of spell
to put on him and
send him straight to hell

Shards of our love
Dereaux Sep 2017
the broken shards
of our love

silently they glimmer
lying on the ground

and once again
I cut myself

Time to end
Dereaux Apr 2017
Please, stop your crying
and let me tell you
that the end is near

Don't believe the truth
over the lies, cause you
will lose all of the fear

Roads to escape are closed
bridges are pulled up
I guess they all are wrong

My ink is running out
paper is getting to an end
It's time to finish our song.

Love at first sight.
Dereaux Mar 2017
Darling, if you believe
in love at first sight

Then please, don't look
at me twice.

Heart defence
Dereaux Mar 2017
She caught me harmless
while my defenses were down
she likes to make me happy
and steal away my frown

Trying to open up my heart
so she can take a look inside
asking me to share my emotions
when there is no place left to hide

She makes me take of my mask
just to reveal my true identity
but it just makes me feel awkward
for me there seems to be no serenity

Once again I listen to my own thoughts
as usual they don't make any sense
instead of cleaning out my closet
I'm actually creating another fence

Behind closed eyes
Dereaux Jan 2017
Wonderful times
I had with you
behind closed eyes.

It felt so real,
but when I awoke
they all were lies.

Rose.
Dereaux Dec 2016
Beauty is within my sight
as I see a rose every night

A rose in bloom proud and tall
the fairest rose of them all

To me you're like a piece of art
you rose the beauty in my heart

could be.

Bad poet.
Dereaux Aug 2016
You know you are a bad poet,
when the comments are more
impressive as the poem itself.

I am a black hole

You are my life
Dereaux Aug 2016
I thought I would never see the sun again
but then you rose on my horizon

brought back a warm and
trustful light into my lonely life

you filled my heart with love and joy
gave me a new reason to live

by becoming a rainbow you colored my world
so beautiful up in the air

when I got lost you changed into a cloud
and showed me where I should go

our time was short you had to leave
and I have to face life alone

but as final act you became a star
bright above me in the dark sky

when I feel sad I just look at you
and remember the good times we had

Rainbow

One word
Dereaux Aug 2016
When one word
can say it all,
why write all that
gibberish along
with it.

Proof

Don't prove he exists
That would be easy to do
Prove me I am wrong

Fake dreams
Dereaux Aug 2016
How to write down a dream
when everything
was an illusion

How to make the story straight
when it has left
me in confusion

How to fill the blank paper
when my mind
had no idea

That this fata morgana
was something
I could not see

The beauty and pleasure
turned out to be
a total fake

From the moment
that I was
completely awake

So for the future
I have to ask you
please be kind

And live those
petty dreams of you
in your own mind

but writing about life
can cause you pain.

Worlds apart
Dereaux Aug 2016
I thought I found my luck
somewhere on a beach
I tried to take her by the hand
but she got out of reach

The waves pulled her back
back into the cold sea
left me standing on the shore
it felt so strange to me.

Then she came back again
with a wave rolling on the sand
Unfortunately I had no luck
she could not breathe on land

I had to let her go,
felt the pain in my heart
Living on the same planet
but still worlds apart

Shame on you
Dereaux Aug 2016
Shame on you when you
wrote about something that
you actually did not feel.

Precious words are
written on this paper
but the passion was never real.

I rather read nothing at all
then these lies which
are told by you.

Cause every word
that you have written down
suddenly is not true
Sorry if grammar is not like it should.
Help me out if you like.

Friendship.
Dereaux Aug 2016
We have had this friendship together
and made love every single day
every single day

With champagne and dressed up in leather
we went all the way
really all the way

But when our love got really, really hot
you kind of left me cold
you left me cold

You said, you needed someone younger
apparently I became too old
I became too old

Now I’m here watching the days go by
sitting here all alone
sitting all alone

Our friendship has sailed out on the ocean
and it sank like a stone
like a stone

Searching.
Dereaux Aug 2016
If there was something
in the near future
that would be worth to find.

There would be no need
going back in time to see
what I have left behind

Write
Dereaux Jul 2016
here in this game
we’re all the same
we write about love
we write about pain

but whatever you write
just follow the light
that’s lit in your soul
to make the world bright

cause a candle will burn
any way you will turn
go, write on my love
make my heart yearn

Skeleton Key
Dereaux Jul 2016
The skeleton key
to a dark aged time
opened a door
and took a love of mine

A cloaked darkness
reached out his hand
took her away
to his dreadful land

Where black butterflies
with venomous breath
****** out her soul
and left her for dead.

— The End —
