The Killing Tree Part 2

Here is part two, thanks for finishing it

Still in his hand his sword a shining
Struck quickly through the tendrils twining
To free his foot with speed a blinding

He fell upon the ground and leapt
beyond the branches' claw
Grabbed from his waist the pouch that kept
his magic ring to draw

So placed around his finger long
The nether world he breached
With power from a heart that's strong
to Lilith's form he reached

That's when he saw her body glowing
the holy light his eyes to showing
The weakness in the branches blowing

For within the tree he saw the face
a mask alive with dread
And swung his sword to strike that place
and sever off its head

Its eerie scream cut through the night 
a most unholy sound
And in its haste to join the fight
dropped Lilith to the ground

So through the night the battle staging
As in a dance his war was waging
'gainst evil now his sword was raging

Now evil's strength is in the dark
and weakens with the sun
The trees retreat into the park 
soon broke into a run

The stranger leapt into its path
to make it stand and fight
The tree screamed out its mighty wrath
to see the morning light

By light of dawn its spell was breaking
Into the earth its roots were taking
A mortal tree the stranger making

Now death came to the tree that morn'
a triumph over fear
But children heed this tale to warn 
that evil's always near

For Lilith and the stranger won
because their hearts were true
Would they have seen the morning sun
if either had been you

So go to bed your faith a keeping
and know that evil out there creeping
won't come to you while you are sleeping

Autumn's Sunrise

AUTUMN'S SUNRISE

As I gaze upon the dawn
	And drink the light of Autumn's sunrise
	The memories of my youth swell within my breast
And reveal themselves as tiny drops of moisture in my eyes

I see sunlight on the water
	And the feelings in my heart
	Like a waterfall, makes rainbows
As it tumbles down the mountain
	Through the valleys of my life

Then I feel the warmth of daybreak
	As a lovers kiss upon my face
	That whispers meaning without words
And moves my soul to understand
	The wonders of lifes grace

The Killing Tree Part 1

This poem is too long for one submission so I have to split it up

THE KILLING TREE
Come gather children listen well
sit closer now to me
And hear the story I'm to tell 
about the killing tree

'Twas deepest winter cold and dark
when first this tale was spun
And evil lurked within the park
Now hidden from the sun

Upon its roots, like legs a creeping
Its spiny fingers willows weeping
It hunted for its prey asleeping

Now Lilith was a child forlorn
as she walked out in the gloom
Too many nights her parents scorn
had kept her in her room

Tonight she packed a bag to travel
and sneaked out like a mouse
But she slipped on ice upon the gravel
A mile from her house

So to the scent of blood it hurried
On foul and evil roots it scurried
To feed on souls from life unburied

Alone he walked, his sword beside him
a stranger to these lands
So proud he strode with face so grim
and power in his hands

He came in search of evils badness
and whet hid blade of steel
To test his skills against the madness
that make the senses reel

It crossed the road its limbs a shaking
Its slimy tendrils taut and quaking
Against the thought of Lilith waking

Now evil lurks in many places
throughout this land it sleeps
Awakened by the night it paces
Into our lives it creeps

Young  Lilith was a child forsaken
an innocent so fair
Her dream of freedom thus mistaken
had led her to his lair

So towards its feast its limbs a dangling
The ugly beast within the tangling 
Mossy roots was set to strangling

Now deep within small Lilith's heart
there beat a song of love
A tempo strong that from the start
was blessed by God above

So there was goodness deep within
this young girls troubled soul
She only dreamt her prince to win
and worried towards that goal

Upon her now with evil dripping
Its ghostly host with pulse a skipping 
Set to its task, her clothes a ripping

She woke and to the night she screamed
the stranger heard her cry
Rushed to her side though time it seemed
too quickly passing by

He drew his sword and hacked the root
wrapped 'round young Lilith's waist
Grabbed from above held by his foot
caught blindly in his haste

Now borne upon its branches saving
A feast for its unholy craving
Two souls for evils lust were waving

Back to the park the tree it fled
Still mindful of its goals
Two human hearts would soon be dead
The tree would have their souls

The stranger spoke to Lilith now
a whisper in the night
And with his eyes he made a vow
for Lilith's life to fight

Catalina Scotte

CATALINA SCOTTE

Can't seem to say how much I've wondered
About the way I found you here
To think the ways I could have blundered
And never known that you were near
Life's funny how it plays it's aces
In many ways it's all a dream
Nobody knows it's many faces
And things are rarely what they seem.

So fate has thrown our lives together
Can't say it picked the best of scenes
Or even that this storm will weather but
Time will tell us what it means
To use this time and make it better
Enjoy our romance in a letter

Our Song

OUR SONG

That song I heard the other day
was sung for you and me
the words so fine
all wrapped inside
a haunting melody

She sang for me, he sang for you
my heart swelled in my chest
the message played
I must confess
was music at its best

Now every day they play our song
and every time I smile
for when they sing
our souls entwine
together for a while

ALISON W CASSANO

Angel featured, dark eyes glaring
Lithesome figure moving smooth
Iron willed emotions blaring
Sexy woman on the move.
Once I saw her young and humble
Never thought the day I'd see
When from her shell a star would tumble
Completing something missed from me.
Across a thousand boundaries standing
Set up before us like a test
Sad faces watch our love, demanding
A strength of which they'd never guessed
Never again will be parted
Or left divided broken hearted

If You Were Here

IF YOU WERE HERE

THE SKY ABOVE FOREVER BLUE
A THOUSAND VOICES SINGING TRUE
AND THE ONLY THING I'D HAVE TO DO
WOULD BE TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU

ACROSS THE SKIES EXPLODING BRIGHT
THE GREATEST SPECTACLE IN SIGHT
THE WORLD BEDAZZLED BY THE LIGHT
IF I COULD HAVE YOU HERE TONIGHT

SO HAPPY ALL OUR DAYS COULD BE
EACH SUNRISE FOR US BOTH TO SEE
THESE JOYS FOR US WOULD ALL BE FREE
WHEN YOU COME SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME

I Am Here

From the moment of my creation
I have adorned myself
   for your arrival
Ten thousand days I have
   walked out to meet you

Island have receded
Mountains have crumbled 
Rivers have dried

Only my body has expanded
   beyond itself
To spread from Sunrise to Sunset
   covering the earth

Wherever you are now
You are with me

Changing the Wheel

I sit by the side of the road
While the driver changes the wheel
I do not like the place I have come from
I do not like the place I am going to
Why do I watch him change the wheel
With impatience.

My Only Habit

MY ONLY HABIT

I GAVE UP TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL
THAT WASN'T HARD TO DO
BUT A DAY WITHOUT YOU ON MY MIND
I NEVER COULD GET THROUGH

YOU ARE TO ME THE ONLY HIGH
I KNOW I'LL ALWAYS NEED
YOU'RE IN MY BLOOD, A PART OF ME
AND ON YOUR LOVE I FEED

THAT PRECIOUS LOVE IS DEAR TO ME
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT TO HAVE IT
I'M PROUD TO SAY YOU HAVE BECOME
MY ONE AND ONLY HABIT
