In the peace
and solitude of the room
I want to write one last poem
the candle searches diligently for fuel
soon I see the last glimpse of it's light

Just one more glass then
one last drink on this day
which slowly slides to her end
and morning light
may greet us tomorrow

The candle extinguishes
I am alone
and in the light of the moon
it is dark and quiet on the street
the poem is written
and it's time
to go to bed.

When one word
can say it all,
why write all that
gibberish along
with it.

You already own
the route to my heart
so why not use it.
You already know
how I feel about you
open my hardened shutters.

Take an ax and smash the lock
into hundred thousand pieces.
You only own that power,
another will not succeed.

Nobody keeps watch
no dog still guarding here.
Leave Cupid's arrows out of sight,
you have already touched my heart.

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

Peace
can be found
right in your
heart.

unfortunately
only a few people
are looking
for it.
peace love

when your piercing gaze
cuts right trough my sad numb heart
it's a painful sight

Go out and play Son!

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

You are the rainbow
in my grey and cloudy sky.
Coloring my life
For my sweet wife J

your love
feels like a river
gracefully flowing by

I cannot seem
to find a grasp
and keep you
by my side

You can call a rose,
a sweet beautiful flower.
But it's still a 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
Dereaux Aug 2021
Ooh my true faith,
where have you gone
in shadows you left me
when it all went wrong

A weird phenomenon
for me unknown
with all these demons
I stumble upon

As inquisitor of dreams
I must embrace my role
and defeat all evil
just to save your soul
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
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.

the broken shards
of our love

silently they glimmer
lying on the ground

and once again
I cut myself

Quite a task,
to sit still
in a rocking chair

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.

My slow reflection
will be torn by desire
when she looks at me.

She whispers my name
and I hear her voice
through the mists of oblivion

It eases my pain
as I cry from afar
to the tender morning fog

When my mirrors
show her bliss
to my fleetingly image

I look at her for a while
when she looks at me too
I feel her distant touch

She shows me her love.
and then for a while
I am broken into shards

She heals what I
could not heal myself
as I try to glue my heart
Dereaux Sep 2020
I look up
I look down
I looked behind and all around

I seek
and I’ve searched
but nothing could be found

I stop
and I stared
but there is nothing there

So why
do people say
that spring is in the air

Strange thing about beer.
The emptier the bottle is,
the heavier it gets.

I am stuck on Earth
but I don't want to be here.
Roots under my feet.

You would never tell
that you would be unfaithful.
But lipstick told me.

Her tensile wings
grew larger and larger
trying to reach
the end of the world.

Just to find out
she was only
circling around.

They call me a beast,
but how wrong
could they be.

cause every beat
of my heart
I linger for thee.

My enchanted
love for you
is ready to bloom.

Take a leap of faith
and  you'll see  
my cursed heart swoon

If you love me
I will give
plenty in return

if there's a way
to your heart
for me to earn

Come to my castle
and I will do
guard duty

To protect and defend
your beloved
precious beauty

From a long and dusty farm road
there was a scarecrow waving
Standing on a pole in a cornfield
meanwhile the sun was blazing

I started walking up to him
and when I was almost near
It took of his straw hat, gave a smile
and told me to have no fear

Welcome visitor he shouted
would you like to play a game
please enter my corn maze for a walk
and if you get lost just call my name.

then with an elegant swing
he'd opened the gate
Told me not to rush
he was opened until late.

The maze was well maintained
paths were clean and wide
rabbits running all around
it was a beautiful sight

But then all of a sudden
scenery drastically changed
corn was brown and dead
daylight seemed deranged

I got the creepiest feeling
that I was being spied
somebody was watching me
opaque to my sight

Suddenly I was on the ground
I must have tripped over a stone
after taking a closer and better look
it turned out to be a human bone

It's a ****** mess I am in now
I have really lost the way
how to get out of this maze
what did that scarecrow say

In order to get out the maze
I have to call his name
he can guide me back to start
and end this sinister game

Orphic music started playing
when it came to my mind
He did not even mention his name
I was being there confined

she was looking
wherever true love
could be.

to tell you the truth
I was hoping
she was looking for me

The storyteller said
"I don't have time to tell you a story"

The time teller replied.
"I can tell you sometime"
Dereaux Sep 2020
Without realizing
time is an eternity
to achieve your goal
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.
Dereaux Oct 2022
Treetop, treetop
where could you be
I dug a large hole
but you, I just can't see

You must be hiding
somewhere down there
as it is way too obvious
to hide up in the air

And if I have found you
I quickly climb on down
thru your rustling branches
it will make you frown

I will tickle you softly
patiently root by root
until you laugh out loud
and you start to hoot

you will shake your leaves
until you can't take no more
then we'll lie down together
on the soft forest floor

In dreams we stay together
untill the break of dawn
sadly, when I open my eyes
you will be long gone
for the kids

Two hearts astringent
as one love combined
two souls emerging
grasping to get entwined

Solid love connected
sadness can't break through
as one memory imprinted
the thought of me and you

After many amorous years
our hearts still beat as one
Two folded loving feelings
the day our lives begun
Dereaux Oct 2020
In a vacuum
you were trapped

I jumped a hole
in the air

In infinite space
we fled together.

It is a tough fight,
to find peace in your heart.
But I'm a warrior.
Dereaux Apr 2021
Angelically words are written
with a consecrated pen
using blessed silver ink
on holy paper they glisten

Send on fragile wings
to the lord above
but it seems to me
he did not even listen
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
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
Dereaux Sep 2020
My head is weary
my thoughts are gone.
do I make a short poem
or does it need to be long

What is the point,
why is there all this thinking.
is it true that writing is easier
after I have been drinking.

The paper is too white
and the ink is too black
but once the first word is written
there is no way going back.
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

— The End —
