Silence now ...
Once she was here
The sound of lovers laughing
No more the sound...

Her voice to me...
The sound of an Angel
Her touch to me...
Warm like the sun

Her gift to me... loneliness
... memories.

I sailed a midnight ocean
To lands both near and far
But could not find a single thing
As lovely as you are...

I found the sweetest red rose
And placed it by your side
But shadowed by your beauty
The rose just withered up and ...died

So i  travelled to the east
For riches golden ...and refined
But none of them could sway me
Or indeed could change my mind

further still... i travelled
And braved the fiercest storm..
The cold winds wrapped around me
Your vision kept me warm...

I sailed a midnight ocean
To beyond the furthest star...
But knew theres not a single thing
As lovely as you are .
I wrote this for a girlfriend a few years back , i think she was my first real love ...but unfortunately i was the only one in love  :(

Why do you roam through the forest alone ?
Seeking answers where none are found
Only dead leaves ... killed by the cold
No sunlight shines there..

I wait for you..
Here in the sunlight...be with me ?
Love me ... need me ....
Or am i too .. destined to walk through the forest alone ?
Seeking answers , where none are found...
Only dead leaves .. killed by the cold
No sunlight shines there ...

Love me ..need me ... save me .

I am the product of your nature
I am the reason for your sin
I am the wall with holes around you
I see out ... you dont see in

I am the blessing that may find you
You leave me empty ..fill me up
I am the hand that tightly holds you
I am no more the loving cup

I am the fall guy for your anger
I bare the scars from all your lies
I am the page no colour ..colour me
A rose that blossoms and then dies

I am all these things and nothing
Yet i still  ' love you' at my cost
And though this road with you leads nowhere
Without you i am lost.

In our mind a sea of trouble
Waves of grief will drag us down
As problems flow against us
In depression people drown

We must fight to reach the shallows
So that we may catch our breath
Before the tide carries us further
To our inevitable death

For the seabeds lined with bodies
Of those who came before
And took their lives because of problems
Depression carried them from shore

Sometimes theres no solution
No solid lifeline we can find
There are so many people drowning
A sea of trouble in their mind.

Winter now..... no more the sun
She is my tormentor !!
As i lay naked to her touch
She caresses ... burns...all that she has taken from me
And whispers of places ...that i do not wish to be

I am cold  and there is comfort
For i do not feel....pain
There is a freedom
In this... ice-so-lation

As time itself stops
Frozen.... the memories
That would be faded by the sun
And aged before their time

Mistress winter ..thou art mercifull .

As mist it crawled from dark abyss
To deliver forth a scarlet kiss
On nightmare blackened horse it rode
Brought decadence from dark abode

This charmer with the strangest smile
One night may visit for a while
To bring the darkest sleep of all
And into death you'll slowly fall

so close your windows , seal them tight
from all the children of the night !
I wrote this just after my other poem ' Out for the count ' and again the inspiration came from watching old vampire films .
