My soul is being beckoned
To leave heartbreak
To depart from reality
To give and not take
My joy is endless
In this other life
I get to see this joy
But only sometimes..
Reality splits my thoughts
Like a whip cracking on my back
But I still have my joy
And reality can't take that
Not if I have hope
Which never ceases to be
No matter how woesome my troubles
Even if tripled by three
I kissed you in the tender light
Of the voyuer moon upon a darkness
When the quivering stars in night
Laughs out in unfading gladness.
I held you when the silent tears
Of dew gathered softly in your eyes
As we prowled in passionate cares
Till the last light of moon dies.
I watched you in pale and in fear
When a thousand hells are upon you
Yet I promise dear to chase the tear
Come my love,I will fight for you.
When woesome foes may creep
To forever mute your living breath
I'll arm your fears ever so deep
And shield away this dreaded death.
Faithless me oh never to believe
That prayer had played its part
This day I die within this dream
In the colours of your heart!
I often sailed in stormy seas
Against the fiercest winds
And often pleaded on my knees
To blot my woesome sins.
But sweet days would desert me
And sadness would blow a soft tear
The silent nights would greet me
With the bitter notes of despair.
For in the sultry spring she rose
To welcome the day with a sad sigh
Away from me,oh there she goes
And left me gloomed to blasted die!
For days of old my spirit sprung
That fulgent joy,that loving grace
That her tender heart had sung
To save me from this life of waste.
For she gave me a life of meaning and I
Through my darksome life of vain
Would but these few memories ensky
Where the ancient Gods have lain.
Now this may be the last poem I write
And the very last breath I breathe
But today I die for a love so right
As the amour moon recede.
There is silence in this grief
There is friction in the heart
There's a mountain filled with sorrows
That tears the joys apart.
On this woesome road of life
Kissed by the fumes of pain
When not a shed or an open cover
To shelter from the rain.
But beyond a moment of grind
Is the gleaming light of hope
But its hard to see the rainbow
Beyond the roughest slope.
Woesome seas of anguish
Drifting through the wind
Crashing on the seashores
Of a life ablazed in rend.
I see a world in a sea of peace
Cleansed by the waves of love
A sacred earth with love so pure
That are corals in our eyes.
Where mountains kiss the skies
And fulgent dreams upon a rose
Braves the weather of the skies
Where beauty never dies.
In a heart as pure as gold
In a pure undaunted world
Forged by the flames of peace
Where goodness never cease.
I see a world devoid of all greed
Embraced by the flames of equality
In every colour and in every creed
Men are armed with love's tranquality.
When not a hate,when not a war
Would blaze across our native lands
For nothing woesome,nothing impure
Would repose within our idle hands.
I see a world in a bond together
A lasting peace and love forever
When all existing streams meet
They become one flow,one heart beat!
