Dark Green Domains
As we clear cut out Forest 
and lay waste to the trees 
we unleash our demise 
like a revenging disease 
so be ye good stewards 
to the dark green domains
or it's regrowth will Feast 
on your rotting remains....

Bid Me Live
Unwelcome shades of scorn, I despise
On this woeful night I slowly fade
Spears that pierce, I feel betrayed
Dismayed, I sorrowfully close my eyes
Resigned to the tempter’s whim
I woefully ask, for him to forgive 
Yet I speak no whispers bid me live
Aught I lay waste to my grievous sins?...

Violaceous lulling bell
 Enchantment be thou spell
Prodigious tortile entwine
Weathered be thy vine

Solstice utmost fair
Lay waste to arctic air
Embedded mossy root
Colossal venue afoot

Keeper of florid bliss
Ambrosia ne’er remiss
Petals supple blush
Lavish wisteria lush

Wispy balsam waft
Caress be e'er soft
Atop verdant bough
Tender be thy sough...

Premium Member If I Could Have Held You
If I could have held you 
 lay waste to these tricky words
instead of a tearful smile 
it would have been more honest; 

Lay waste to these tricky words, 
there would be no way to top that; 
It would have been more honest; 
The silence is all that makes sense; 

There would be no way to top that;
instead of a tearful smile
the silence is all that makes sense, 
if I could have held you....

Labyrinth
A long night without sleep,
Dreams lay waste to silence,
Scenes empty, moments lonely,
Thoughts wishful, action passive.

Shackles of redundancy,
A cycle, round and round,
A blast from the past eternal,
Plaguing every sleep.

Nights are not for work,
But the 'mares of fears,
Haunted by the stagnation,
Of old past, strong and near.

Hidden talents, pouring hopes,
Promises of good times,
Even when they come,
Good times don’t last....
