A poet pouring emotions onto paper
Many times obscure, hard to discern
Most would skim over, not feel the burn
Letting the words slip out of mind like vapor

For another poet though, this is not the case
Every despairing, loving, passionate word is heard
Nothing said misunderstood, seen as absurd
Never judging, for every poet also has been in this place

What on Earth would be a better match made
Than a poet and another poet minds linked as one
No need for spoken words, no need to take action
Whisper it to one another on paper, a private serenade

Dancing a dance no other could understand
Two perfect souls forever intertwined
Knowing completely one another's mind
A poet who loves a poet, their passion withstands

Seven billion people on Earth
Why the hell are so many of us alone
Searching within one another for our worth
Love would appear to be a combat zone

Would you not think with so many of us
A soul mate might actually exist
Quite distressing it is, I must confess
A world revolving around trysts

Souls too caught up in lust
Gallivanting about the city
Contact for many an absolute must
While some lie wallowing in self pity

What the hell is love, might I ask
I am not seeing it in the world today
Seven billion people wearing seven billion masks
All hiding within their own cliche

Such a large world we live in
And still unable to ever truly connect
It must be human nature, a deadly sin
Thus true love will never interject

Envision real love all we may
It would appear not to be our nature
Always something will lead one astray
So in our dreams will it lie forever

We all want to be proven wrong here
We scream our own sad story into the night
Begging for someone to come, adhere
To bring some amount of respite

But despite our relentless screams
We continue on this vicious circle
Ignore the one who may answer our dreams
Falling victim to this eternal obstacle

The one that is our denial of love
To fill some void we cannot be free of

Old Orc,  happened upon during my travels
Your story saddens me, you claim it is not so
You told me your time has come
Lying in wait for an honorable death
Too old to marry, too old for battle
Your life had been fulfilled, so death you sought
Malacath requested you stand upon this road
And the honorable death you seek shall be found
I  then appeared to be the form you were seeking
For what better death than at the hands of a warrior
Skill in battle proven, for you fought well Old Orc
I pay my respects as I lie you down to rest
Scattering Blue Mountain Flowers about your chest
Find peace Old Orc, knowing you died a Warrior's Death

It makes me so sad I cry,
But I don't I keep it inside to keep tears from spilling down my eyes,
Why did you have to die?
Why did you have to end your life with a sigh?

I miss you. You used to lay on my bed at night and keep my warm,
I wish you were here now so I could cuddle you in my arms!
But you're not here. . .
I just strive harder to keep back that hidden tear.

Why did you have to go so soon?
And keep me lonesome in my room?
With a longing for you that never goes away,
And stays with me day by day!

Why couldn't you have stayed?
Before in the ground in your box you were laid.
I will miss you forever,
I don't think pain will go away. . . Never.

I want to be crazy in love,
I want only one person on my mind,
Day and night,
to long to be in his arms,
only his lips will I want to devour,
I want to have crazy emotions for him overflow my brain,
so that I write all of these emotions on everything,
to have spontaneous moments with him,
Like kissing in the rain,
to find little love letters from him on occasion,
I want to stargazer all night with him in the yard,
and be cozy by the fire with him on a cool night,
just to sit with him and talk for hours,
about anything and everything,
I would love him,
And he would love me,
so much so that we wouldn't know what to do,
we would just be crazy...
crazy in love
I want to be crazy in love...
