Journey

Out in the World
A mind is found
And starts a life 
Of Love and Strife

Leah

L-Loving, Life living

E- Enticing, Eccentric, 

A- Always there, Artistic

H- Hero, Heart

A Girl of mass appeal 
A Person that beats no other
A Friend that listens and gets the point
A Twin that is believing
A Cow...Don't ask! 
A Poet that knows how to write.

She is my Friend, Twin, Cow and poet that I hear.

Words, Master Of

This dark light 
A war outbreak
I cannot write 
There is a leak

Inside my mind
A lively death
I cannot find 
The words are Myth

Where are the words
I call them, they hide
Summoning their accord
They bow and abide

Like vipers they strike
My servants, letters
Turn on me and attack
They disable the better 

Oh, how they used to follow
Me the creator, Father
Their leader now hallow
Creates no bother

So now the letters are left
In the ink, a Tomb
The new master, the same man
Is as dark as a bomb

They cry, the letters
Wanting a world, to be fed
To get by, to be better
Not to be in the tomb, Dead

The master cries out at night
For the comfort of the words
A great inner fight
Bitter as gourds

He can’t hold back
He creates a masterpiece
The words flow from his hands
They cannot cease

The Man is reborn
The Master of words
A light on darkness
The letters abide, they bow

Through Soldiers' Eyes

So tense am I
The falling sky
Holding my breath
Until the Death

It’s my life
So turn the scythe
Break the bread
And stop the Lead

Loud is it
The latest cry
But all the time 
Red is the Dye

A placid face
Of Death’s clean lace
The slow coming of
A century’s Race

Dagger of Love

Love is a Dagger 
The shining Silver
Loves greatest Gold 
Beautifully enriched

Sharpened to a point 
The height of a relationship
Broken when tossed 
How easily it snaps

Tossed from hand to hand
The Love Dagger
Piercing a heart
Cold as steel

Seeing a shimmer in the shadow
Chasing after love 
Only to be stabbed in the back

Love is Nothing but the opposite
Good and Evil, passed between the hands
Chosen by a leader
Used by both

Hilt or no hilt 
Love is supported 
Like a dagger
Entwined unto each other

Becoming one
Simply foretold, A great use
The dagger of love
Death or Life, chosen

The Arrowhead space
Docded in blood
A Heart, love
Stabbed and Broken

Give me life, dagger
Sacrificed unto love
Giving a heart 
So poorly beating

Cold steel, Cold blood
Useless love, Wasted time
Mourning unto the night
Until love is found again

Love a Sacrifice

Whispering winds
They sing to me
What will I do 
My life unsewed

Coming together
Like Fruitiful feathers
Clean Love for
A Bloody Dove

Sing a Sweet song
And love me
Let me
Be a Throne

See me for I see you
And now
Love me
As I love you

Words, Song Of

Created by this ink
These words sink 
Unto a page
Forever Woven

I’m the creator of these words
Father of these letters
My soul, Fiery, ignites
Life born into shapes

Lord of Words 
I’m the weaver of this ink
Woven into a quilt
These words tell a story

With the breath of life
I read these words aloud
They are not words, alone
But another life unfolding

Beyond your wildest dreams
Words let you escape
Into a world unforeseen
Either cold or full of life

A beautiful life
Set for a strife
Or a deadly soul
Setting no goal

Blessed blood
A black heart
The running ink
Like blood in veins

A pen is a sword
Destroying a life
Or sacrificing one
From only ink

Separated by pages
Chosen by readers
A book only given life
Over only openings

Secluded on a dusty bookshelf
Or stacked a tower 
Seen by many
Read by few

Words are a song 
Singing a life
Into a book
Awakening a soul

Pleading to fly
Into the mind
Of a lover 
Of life

Beautifully written
A life unspoken
Words are wrote 
On a dreary night

Beckoning Elements
Fire, Water, Earth, Wind
Into its pages 
Scenery unfolds

Forever and ever
A book brings many things
Into this world
Such as a Song of Words

Blue Moon

Blossoming from the rock
A soul of a desperate lock
Becomes one with the blue moon

Hues of blue and gray
A due of death today
A blue moon rises in the west

It seemed so long ago
When the moon was so-so
And never went to the side of the blue

Now life is happening 
And flowers are dying 
The moon so blue is in the middle of the night sky

A love is a death 
With a beginning and end
Just like the blue moon

With the beginning of a new day 
The moon is hidden 
And a new life is born
Unlike the moon of blue

A Confession

A mother and child
So close together
Yet so far apart

A barrier between them
So creativly smart
Torn down by words

A talk
A confession
A simplicity of trial and error

Problems resolved 
Questions burned down
A mind will soar

An hour or two 
Words are complete
What is born will end

All in all
They are both saved
And end with an embrace
And I LoveYou

A Long Lost Twin (15 Years Almost)

A Lover......Nah! ! ! ! 
(nothing to argue about) 
A Friend..........Maybe? ? ? 
(to simple) 
Or it could be Twin
Yes a long lost Twin.

So many years passed
All this time I have sat
Wondering.....Waiting
For the one of the same
A friend, but know even better, 
A twin
With a parallel life...
(close enough anyways) 
To be 
My Lost Long Twin
