The most perfect of dreams ensued, a perfect day of passion.  The heart mangled in a fantasy that controls the very thoughts of a man.  Absolute perfection brought into his life from an unlikely source and an unlikely time.  Not able to pursue the mindless thoughts of his heart he allows sleep to overcome the day.   The visions of the one he loves makes sleep come so easy.  Dreams of love passionately filling the night with near endless happiness.  No longer able to sleep, the screaming silence and the beating of his heart fill the room with unbearable and deafening sound.  Awakening desiring to hold the one he loves, turning to find his arms empty once again.  Tears pouring from the eyes overflowing from the broken heart soaking the sheets wrapped around his body.  Quivering flesh, batting eyes, wiping the stream from his cheeks he sighs softly.  The disgust from the world and consequences around him swallow any hope of rest.  I cried last night.  No one to comfort, no one to understand no one to hold, he prays for the mornings light.  Will his dreams and desires ever evolve?  With the piercing light mocking his soul he is reminded that yet another night has passed without the one that holds a grip upon his heart.
This was a poem I wrote for my current ex-wife. Most of my other poems are about the pain she inflicted when she left me in a puddle of tears.

Kiss upon thy lips, sweat upon the brow. Perfection found in the devils woes.                  

Sweetest little words and temptress taunts.  Naughtiness and no shortage of wants.  Sweetness and a whole lot of spells.
Voodoo buried at the bottom of wells.

Magical moments caught in the air.
Angels the cause of so much despair.
Nothing wrong with the curvy hips.
Going to wish you had never taken sips.

Continuous knives in the back.
Devil worked so hard in the sack.
From the moment you look in the eyes.
The heart will have an eternity of sighs.

Devils, angel gonna rip your heart out.
This will ultimately be your final bout.
The blood will flow from the river.
Now that she has thrown the sliver.

Screaming, back away if you can.
Broken heart has a gun in hand.
Today is the final day.
No longer a way to stay

Broken love! Broken dreams!
Endless nights it seems.
Blood drenched soil turns to dry.
The end of love pouring from the sky.

Black veils in shame

Deaths greed gathers round.
Heads hung low around the screaming mound.
Black heart on the mountain high.
Pitiful shame, love had a final sigh.
Devil rode a valiant steed.
Lust planted the final deed.

Ravens scattered at the boom.
They all saw death loom.
Eyes went deaf to the pity.
As loves shadows grew gritty.

Cold, cold shadows create the night.
As loves final farewell disappears from sight. Angry tones scream the chorus.
As a dying love becomes so porous.

Bended knees and final prayers.
No more need to climb the stairs.
Rest your weary head.
For love is now dead.

In the middle of the night,
far from human sight.
Lying in the demons bed,
visions of her piercing the head.

Taking deep breaths in the heart,
no longer feeling like an important part. Death is now the only thought,
oh the raging deamons the soul has fought.

Words of prayer beg for the body to stay, but the heart keeps screaming no way!
To the earth is the only place,
The visions seem to pick up the pace.

Endless food placed on the table,
Horses put back in the stable.
All but the tears are gone,
And the lonely silent bone.

Promises and threats went out,
But they all thought he was so stout.
Down by the lonely river bend,
Is where he brought the final end.

Why must I live in the night?
When there is nothing left but fright.
Why must i suffer through the day?
When love did refuse to stay.

Shameless blood upon the blade.
Desiring to live in the darkest shade.
The stinch of earth covers the pain.
Even the horrible blood of loves stain.

The demons refused an ounce of sleep.
In the grave sweet peace did creep.
They all gathered round to cry.
For an answer they all did pry.

Search no further than the agony of love.
For the message was carried upon a dove.
Gods silent heavenly word
Purchased on the wings of a bird.

Be still and rest my child.
For Upon you God has smiled.
There is no longer a reason to fear.
Now is the moment to shed the final tear.

What is this thing love?
Carried by the bloodied dove
Such a daunting task
Hidden behind satans mask

The world bends at its knees
Screaming with gregarious pleas
Seemingly unforgettable stains
Left by loves horrible pains

Neverending sleepless nights
Scaring the soul with terrifying sights
Searching for the darkest cave
Burried well beneath the deepest grave

What is this thing love?
As they dorn the black glove
Final prayers are said
Just above the silk bed

The bridled tongue and darkness spoke
Fiery dragons and the devil's joke
Softly in the ears it screamed
Foolishly a future dreamed

Broken fool's mockery and shame
Ravaged and thrown in the evil game
Black diamonds and bloods oath
Jezebel and the demons hand both

Deepened pools and the loves dance,
Round and round methodic prance
Hands on the clock fail to stop
Love makes an unfair swap

Screams mark the gates of hell
Tears ring and the echo of bells
Loneliness haunts the serenity of night
As loves leaves a painful sight
