Best Sadlight Poems
I light a candle for you this lonely night
Vanilla scented footsteps from the past.
The smell of your sweater a poignant delight
I wonder how long the memory will last.
Lavender scent to ease the empty pain
Potpourri of emotions in the smoky air.
In honeysuckle flames I see you again
Inhale the smell of aftershave in my hair.
Lose myself in pipe tobacco and peppermint
Barbeque fumes from a long lost yesterday.
Chocolate laughter that tease and hint
Of watermelon wars in the dusty hay.
Coffee memories that taunt and tease
Lost conversations in the smell of brandy.
Dusty morning air after a hard freeze
Your body heat so sweetly handy.
I light a candle for you this lonely night
Vanilla scented footsteps from the past.
Somewhere deep inside it's very tight
I wonder how long is grief supposed to last.
Blaring grinding blares thy engine
In mending together humanity’s ails,
Flickering light shines thy mender
In shining some light in humanity’s ails.
Sacrificial lamb in mending thy breaks
In little a price for sweats consumed,
Hearing impairment, a risk to come
In shining some light to humanity’s ails.
Shielding thy eye from blind man's woe
Lest an error to move with sticks,
Shielding thy hands from animal’s woe
In shining some light to humanity’s ails.
On, thy aches from blaring machine
In fixing thy job to earn thy pay,
Mending thy rod, the welder’s task
In shining some light in humanity’s ails.
Born of my own pain,ripped apart by the canines of my own form of existence. Steaped in
the darkness for my eyes have been shut to the light long before the lotus of my life
blossomed. The attempted ressurection of the damned soul that was crucified for sins
committed in subcontious existence,the world has yet suffered dearly at the wrath of my
pain and in it i ascended to be among you,a place I didnt exist and thus you have bathed in
a pool of my lies and basked in the light of my inequities. Doves never did fly with crows and
the dark always creeps away from the light. From now on where I go you cannot come and
thus we cease to exist as before in the city of peace.
If i held you apon the ledge would fear
ever drift into your heart.
Waves crash below salt kisses the wind.
Far from this madness we do depart.
The storm outside brings it's cold
casting doubts with fear.
ligthing flashes giving light to useen places.
Thunder crashes you question the voices you hear.
locked behind doors kept in a wooden box atop
the fire place.
He removes the mask
To reveal only to the darkness his true face.
Within the flames exists the ash of
my troubled past.
Ripped sails.
Dreams of light cant exist under skies overcast.
A single moment can be the breaking straw.
Whats left of the lion.
does reside in the cats paw.
A ghost to these sheets this
bed I no longer haunt.
A waltz at a forgotten balll.
Underneath the arm of another was it only to flaunt.
Dark circles under eyes.
Trapped in this hell I despise.
the midnightoil burnt on through the day.
Love conseals a promise that your heart does betray.
Echo's in darkness
to all but strangers I do confide.
Bleeding within in the emptyness my
true self does reside.
A gentle tap upon heart’s window beats
an invitation to an open mind.
Yet deep within, a distant soul retreats,
so hiding light behind an aspect blind.
In pools of misplaced loyalty she basks
by light of candle, blending with gone-bys.
Upon the floor, in drifts, beguiling masks
discarded now along with all the lies.
A drop of ruby liquid spills across
the stillness as she drinks to cloud the past.
Each break of dawn relights the pain of loss,
consuming love, creating spaces vast.
A gentle brush of crystal ‘cross the wrist
brings drops of ruby swirling to the mist.
The darkness of the room,
brings about a dissappointing gloom.
Not one speck of light from the moon,
diminishes the everlasting doom.
Why must this gloom,
cover me with dispair?
Light cannot shine there.
Often it is too hard to bear.
Just can't sit there and stare,
into the darkness of the room,
with no light from the moon,
and this depressing gloom.
Perhaps in some point in my muddy
past.
I was a shiny bright white star.
So many years lost in my memory.
Afraid they'll ever come out of the
why i buried them.
All that cruelty and hurt they gave
me that painful night.
Is the reason i became a bright
black star.
No matter what i do my light is no
good.
Forgive me for my black light is no
use.
Tonight i stopped blaming all for my
hurting.
Gave in to the idea that black stars
are meant to be lonely.
The light from the firefly is starting to lose its glow.
By hook or by crook, he’s starting to be shallow.
The feelings he has in mind are beginning to fade.
Even his persona’s becoming to be vague.
He cannot stumble on a place to stay for the night,
so he dashed through the dancing shadows to find some light.
Alone in the dark heavens that’s where he found himself,
that there’s nothing he can do but to flee by himself;
and the light coming from me started to lose its glow.
By hook or by crook, I’m starting to be shallow.
Now, all I have is a feeling of seclusion,
a lonesomeness feeling that brought me to conclusion.
In the Midnight : by the Light of the Harvest Moon
We Gather in a Vernal Pool " in the Spring of Gloom "
Together we Flow and Light up “ in the Setting of
The rising SUN , Becomes the Closing of a Sunset
With no Tears , There is no way To Cry Surrender
We Live in a series of Forever : ending up in “ Doom “
“ YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING “ Inclined to “ Redeem ”
Are YOU the Broken Heart , for Which I Forever “ Dream “
With Love to All , Your Liege…HG ( Harry )

Wave after wave
The darkness leapt at me.
I cannot be brave
I shrink against the wall
I find myself less than I should be
And then I heard your call.
Your light, your steps,
Searching nearing closing the gap.
My eyes are blinded by tears
As you freeze, as you can longer hear
My muted scream
Drowned in the eternal night I'm in,
Darkness from within.
We are two hearts,
One light, one dark.
My dark feeds on your light
My dark turns your dawn into a black, starless night.
Your light is smothered, engulfed,
By the blanket descending from above.
Your light might never have existed
If not for the momentary, fleeting warmth
I felt when your fingers touched my wrist.
And even that warmth was quick to go
The cold returns, piercing, summer snow.
Now, again, outside, all is quiet
Inside, resumes the raging riot.
The way the blade slices
the way the blood pours
the way it wont stop
the way it cannot be controlled
the way the blood drops onto the cold floor
the way it starts to puddle
the way i grow cold
the way i lose feeling
the way i drop down
the way my vision goes black
the way my heart sinks
the way im just barely gripping onto life
the way the light is bright
the way i wake up on that operating table
the way it was cold that night
the way i snuck out
the way i fell down in the field
the way i looked at my wrist
the way it was stitched
the way i ripped them out
the way it started to bleed again
the way the blood comes to see the moon light
the way my blood soaks the dirt
the way i start to fade out
the way i start to think
the way my life ends here when i wake up laying on my bed
the way my chest hurts
the way the knife pushes against my pocket
the way the blade gleams in the light
the way i take it in my hand
the way i push it into my heart
the way in seconds my dreams come true
A single light,
shines bright and full.
But the dark does not fade.
The light grows brighter,
and the dark grows stronger.
The light may fade,
but never extinguish.
Alone in the dark,
a single being.
The light calling her.
She hears,
but can not see.
The dark wants her,
it overwhelms her,
swallows her.
Never releasing.
The light calls and shines.
Waiting.
Alone.
The light of the candle fades
Words of anger spew from the lips I had kissed hours before
Her feet pounding down the thirteen steps
A door slams as the candle dies
Just a plume of smoke marks its passing
The grey light of a crescent moon
Shines through the open curtain
The roses bought and given in love
Now looking black and lost
The scent of her perfume lingers
Turning rancid in the warm air
Jack Daniels
The mender of broken hearts joins me in my grief
Drink after drink
The memories fade
The tears stop flowing
The pills
Red, black, blue and yellow
Looking like m&m's
Taste like candy as they go down
My eyes close
There are no dreams
There are no tears
Everything is behind
Left in another world
My heart beats
Echoing through my thoughts
As loud as a drum
It beats a steady rhythm
Thump...thump
Thump...thump
Thump
I try to look but see nothing
No moon
No stars
I try to listen but hear nothing
No birds
No wind
I realize that that is how life ends
A series of nothings
It is how my life ends
And I am nothing
This color is yet to get a name
Though most have seen its hues
For some this color is not yet known
For they've yet to pay their dues
There are no words to help describe
This color we carry inside
It's never seen the light of day
In darkness, it chooses to hide
Though many have tried to define it
None can comprehend
You need the light to see the colors
But the light cannot decend
Empty spaces and hollow dreams
Encompass its outer core
Shadows of what used to be
Block the only door
This color though it has no words
Will tear your world apart
A color that has no name
Is the color of a broken heart
