Flowing forth from an unexplored spring
comes the hope and unheard of ring
of reason, of love, of rejoice;
The creator of life hears my voice.

The unbearable fear of absence resides
in the forgotten realm of the unused mind.
Relentless, forever searching, comes the crushing
truth that feeds off our surroundings.

Lengthy thinking sessions and laborious travels
throughout the land, Thinking, pondering, lurking
lurking
lurking in the dark since time began
hovering in the night behind the shadows
the shadows of time.
Calling out for aid in a world of emptiness
no one hears,
save one. The one, who hears our pleas, our requests.
The one who can't stand loneliness.
The helper. The one we've forgotten
but hasn't forgotten us.
Always in the peripheral, making sure
we have what is needed to survive this lonely realm
always lending a hand, or a shoulder.
this is what he is. This is why we are.
For the helper to help us. To need him him. To be helpless.

Let it fall from
the heavens and adorn
your beautiful
head.
your exquisite
selfless
body
Your kind
gentle
eyes

let it annoint you with divine grace
and the blessings
of the holy trinity.

May you live in peace
for all
your days
not in a daze
but gaze
forth to your
Father

Let you drop
your self-image
and take His vision
of you.

All that you need
has been granted
there will be
thorns
but you have boots
there may be vines
but you are
lithe and nimble
NOTHING CAN
Stop
YOU
except yourself

Do not be
the obstacle
to your happiness
be the guide
you know where
it is and the
Path
by Heart
You must
leave out
what you most
Hate.

That is
sadness
there will
be none more for
You
you have taken
more than you
need and more
than you deserve

Life is not a means
to an end goal.
It is there for enjoyment
Do not fall into
the pit
because you do not
understand but
take the bridge
it is just one
step closer to me
and eternal happiness.

Is there no end
to your
majestic beauty, Grace, Loveliness

You are my rose
in the solitary
garden
of Elysium

You are the only
star
in my night's sky

the single fish
in my
ocean

Above all
you stand
high and proud

Radiant,special, gorgeous
kind, Generous, loving
these are insults compared
to your true opulence

But not with meaningless treasure
but with
exceeding grace
it shines out of your entire
visage

My worthless words
do no justice
to your
elegance, your
poise, your
charm which holds me deep in its grasp

It cannot be broken
and i do not want it to be

Oh Kelly, star of stars
exquisite
refined
delicate
grant me the sole boon
of remaining
close
to
you

Beautiful Emma!
Amazing Emma!
Fairest maiden of them all
I do not have a diamond ring to offer
but I give you my heart

Lovely Lady Emma!
Magnificent Emma!
Unnaturally kind and superb
You are the sun in this world of darkness
You shine through the clouds of despair
To show your radiance to us;
To me

Emma,Emma,Emma!
I love you beyond words
You are majestic, selfless
Flawless
Never cease to be, you Jewel of the Heavens
You Angel
You Sweet Lady
Never stop being you

Alyssa! Oh, Alyssa
How your name rolls
Off the tongues and
Into the hearts of men.

Raven-haired beauty
Beyond compare, beyond reproach
How I long for your sweet embrace

My love for you is like a
Waterfall
It overcomes all obstacles

My love for you is like an
Earthquake
Overpowering, strong and easy to see
But even easier to feel

My love for you is like a
Mountain
Towering over all else in life

How I adore your
Slow pace at which
You traverse the land
It causes my heart
To cry out in joy
That I may be close
To you for so long

How glad I am
That you are my friend
Supportive, kind, beautiful
Who knows how I would be
If not for you?

The seraphims and cherubims
Ache at my love
They weep at how I care
For you, your smile gorgeous beyond compare

Ineffable! Ineffable I say!
Such a nymph cannot
Truly exist!
The beauty of God's earth
Is all thanks to you

Alyssa! Oh, Alyssa
How your name rolls
Off the tongue and
Into this heart of mine.

If I were to stop making them
It's plain for the world to see
I wouldn't bother them- nor they me.
But alas, it is my fatal curse for my eternal soul to endure
I don't know why i am faithful, they treat me like a cur
shallow hope and lesser vigour still
the thought of going on seems rather ill
horrible fated tragedy that continues to this day
regardless of what comes to pass, i am forced to stay

O! How the winds cry!
O! How the earth weeps!
O! How the heavens pour forth their tears!

Thy face knows no blemish!
Thine eyes rich as diamonds
Your perfect attributes cause all others to pale in Comparison, like the tapestries of Arachne!

O! the Sun wishes to shine as you do!
No! 'Tis blasphemy to even but dream
Of placing oneself above so fair a maiden.
The fury of the Erinyes at those who dare
Is apparent to all.

O! The thought of not seeing
Your impeccable features once again
Is maddening!Heartwrenching!
But my gaze is like a stain
Upon thee. No love is felt
But pain is delt
Insanity comes upon me.
With little hope;much despair
For me, I beg, Send a prayer
I cannot; WILL not bear the agony
Of which is like the apostles upon the stormy sea
Whence Jesus remarked "Oh, ye of little faith."

I am such a man incapable of receiving
Thine divine compliments
Which I save myself from with doubt
And questioning;O! the torment!
I love thee, I try to show it
But I am unable to merit
Affection in return

Time and time again
I exult you my friend,
Yet how can you receive my words of praise
When your words I do but raze?
O! The neverending cycle which perpetuates
The need for love, which does not abate
How can I love you
When the thought of self-love is so new?
But I feel like to you I do belong
Chose me or deny; the point of my song.

Oh! How the crucible of love
Causes me pain in the heart
Self-love does not endure in part
Or in whole, but love for those dear
And love for those near
Is where true love starts.

— The End —
