Our lives produce such struggles
to which we must rise!
And often we find places
that from which we would run and hide.
But just remember that Your choice
will bring the happiness you seek... 
Just Be the Brave one you wish
The one you still want to be.

For I am here to catch you,
to help and see you through,
within your dreams or trials of life;
whether on mountain or cliff
whichever weso choose to climb.  
 
Remember this as you feel you are sinking.
or slipping from the walls you've been clinging.
The climb may tire the muscles 
as we reach for the top,  
and make us weaker in our strength
while we try to here hang on.

But if we just let go,
and trust the our heart to know what's right
we will never  be led to far away;
Though even trodding in the night.
 
And do not fear the way back down!
For how many birds fly, 
when still nested on the Ground.

And if, by chance,
your wings you fail to find...
From your fall I'll catch you, 
and lead you on through time.
 
For how many learn to open there wings
whilst the mud stayed fixated about their feet.  
The Winds of the sky need your wings to catch, 
to fly you to the heavens
where the angels await you to meet,
and lead you to that better place.
A place we can not even dream.

So with the lightest breeze 
they will teach us how to soar...
and lift us from our agony and woe.
Thus ending the anguish
as your wings fill there up.
to fly with them forever more. 

The Ground is not safe nor is the air, 
but what life would we live 
if we never did dare.
Where angels fear
and devils are faint...
If Love durst not 
then forever must then wait.
 
I remember the story 
of two who fell in love... 
His name became his enemy, 
and He o'er her family
She did make that choice.
 
I would be that Romeo, 
say you my Juliet...
And with you in my arms 
I would die once more again. 
With you I would cast off the sins,
an choose to hold you in the end.
 
When together,two become one,
Star crossed lovers 
can find the peace of each others arms. 
when as one we will fly,
Into that bitterless sky.

Soft Comfort of Thee

Call me darling again!
And in your fold I will rest.
Wherein indulged by your sweet,
soft kisses so; that which wears
me.. fades in slumber.

So as you declare your love, the 
words rain over  me! tracing my skin
like your fingers.  Washing those 
troubles away into the darkness.

I am paralyzed by every whisper of 
love.  I will partake of the solace you are.
Keeping these secrets just between us.

I breathe in your scent! for I hold you 
already.. forever in my heart.
But lay your head to my chest...
to feel my heart beat with this love.

You give me peace!  Just knowing 
there is two hearts, and two minds that
beat as one.  And live for the moment 
we are one.

Savoring the warmth of this moment.
Knowing the fleeting nature in the breath 
of the wind.  Even still... it remains eternal!
As does our Kiss, A Danel.

What Once Was... Is Now.

Passion!
This instinct acted upon....
What once we had! Raging and fiery! All consuming.
Blazing in the moment, Now an ember without fuel.

A Kiss!
An expression of bliss...
Where two souls open to one to the other.
Not when apart though, two never to live.

Love!  
Such an extreme...
In this feeling it is everything.  Separate!
It is an emotion of memories to never last.

Forever!
So short a time...
We spoke this promise.  Together!
Now, Forever seems to have ended.

Time!
Moments spent....
Wherein all things can happen, without fail.
As we know through our actions, feelings, and emotions.

The End!
The place.... 
When all my passions, kisses, and love stagnate.
And where Forever finds retreat,
Time stays absolute.
And I am with out... You!

In To the War of Darkness

From the beginning it was dark.
Fighting invisible demons in the shrouding veil,
near to death, and tired from the wages of battle.

Then a light peirced the night...
An angel came into sight, and my demons retreated.
I fell in exhaustion! collapsing no longer able...
As my eyes closed, I feared that darkness had concord.

My eyes opened again!
O'er me she leaned, with blue eyes of caring and innoscense.
Calming my rages, with sweetness!
My strengths returned under her cares, My fears cast out.
So with a new vivarance, I stood.

Stopping on bended knee, I vowed myself, hers.
Wanting to give unto her all that she ever could offer me.
I stood to feel her hand in mine.  
Promising that I would thence not leave from her.

In an attempt to create a new life, from what we each knew,
I ignored the lack of freedom in the war I still needed to endure.

Her arms soothed me in the coming nights...
as I lay with her, she offered me all she had. chasing away 
the enemies that lie await at the threshold of her radiance.
Eagerly I entered into her embrace, giving her anything she 
desired. Anything to keep her here with me.

Her Desires, My desire to give her anything, proved my fault.
Wish against reality, I let her go thinking that she had given
me the strengths I needed to Fight alone once more.

Ignoring the raw need of having her in my life.  My reason to endure.
To succeed.  I should have admitted that I could not conquore the 
the ties that bound me, less her presence.

Knowing that we could reclaim our foothold on life, Together.
One last embrace, that wasn't enough!  I released her into the
into  the nestalgia niether of us wanted to return to.

So now!  I am left to walk into the darkness from her protecting light.
I can not see them, but my adversaries linger, and swarm
waiting for the residual of her essence to faid.  Striking at me, from
one time to another.  
I lash out in return, for her memory!  Piercing the heart of someone.
Casting a Flame with the strike that burns a bridge to what I knew.  

There in the glow of this flame! I see for the first time, I see 
That which I have to battle... in the hollow flames.... 
I see the night as if I am apart of it.  As well as the Devil smiling 
victoriously.  With waves of demons to do his bidding.  
To tear me asunder, from the inside out.

One last look to see her there.... to far away, and oceans apart.
She, I needed.  Then turn, into the war or Darkness.
