Haunted and Scarred

You entered my life in a gust of bravo with your eye on the prize
Chaos and pain in the guise of care and concern
Only to be revealed when I was at my weakest
Then you won what you had sought

A cycle of despair and hope intertwined
This time will be different, this was the last
You had me by the throat
All I could do was grin and not let on

You come in so many forms
Each time altering but always the same
To break me down for your control
Hurt and confused you continued to win

To break free of your grasp was my prize
You still haunt me, in your many forms
Although stronger now
I remain haunted, scarred of the memories

Double Edge Sword

Like a fortress stands my heart, surrounded by resistance,

Withstanding man's abusive showers.

I watch as you attempt to break through knowing that if

You were to succeed I'd be left in the cold, vulnerable, and alone.

You try so hard to disguise your silver forked tongue in a

Facade of meaningless romance.

But all is in vain, as your kind is well known.

Refusing to be made a fool, only he who is true and noble will overthrow my defenses.

Silky Lies

Your web keeps growing though the silk be thin.

Don't give me your two cents made of lead or a fake original.

You are trying to mislead me with all of your lies while

Ignoring the reality that you are indeed the misled.

Your lies are so many that all brand you an insecure liar.

That web has grown for so long, you have lost your

Entire self and so have we.

The only way out of those murky waters of your personal

Hell is to join the reality of self.

The Question

O my heart! How it aches for your presence,

For days of old when our hearts were one.

Those were the days of true bliss.

How many years has it been since we were intertwined?

Our paths have split and still I cannot stop to

Wonder if my heart will heal with the

Companionship of your heart or with that of another's.

And yet there still is a true connection that bonds us together.

When your presence graces my life, only then am I complete.

And yet here is where my heart is torn in decision,

This connection, this wholeness that you bring to my life...

Is it true love that is destined in the stars,

Or is it a unique friendship that completes me?

In You

Acquaintances at first, never giving another thought

Little did we know we had the other's attention caught

With Time fleeting, our friendship, flourished with illuminating hue

And in you I found the ingredients of one that's true

As cascading waters descend elegantly upon nature's path

So does Heaven's rejoicing love to strengthen our bonds like a lath

Surprises will be revealed as fate removes life's mimicry

For in you I have a best friend for all eternity.

Love's Freedom

What of star-crossed lovers? Can love truly be held? Like the wind, hearts are an eternal

free spirit. May fate be the certainty that tames the passion of affairs immortal.

Rough winds sail young love to the four corners,

Testing the limits of hearts unwilling

To be joined with the cause of the mourners

Who weep at the lost freedom unyielding.

The sun shall never set on one's true love

So that it may stay with it's beloved.

One shan't capture love so pure like a dove.

Hearts shall flee from death to thee so rapid.

Through hardships the heart shall find it's soulmate.

I pray thee my darling patiently wait.

At Last

Each evening when I lie and each morning when I rise,

You are by my side, a never ending vigil.

The warmth I feel from your arms so lovingly wrapped

Around has given a constant peace that cannot be expressed.

An unchanging love I have experienced.

A gift from above I have received.

My heart's desires have been fulfilled.

And my soul has been completed.

This crusade that we have been enduring is at an end for once and for all.

Our hearts have been healing for this moment.

As the stars twinkle with excitement, we are able to share

An ultimate love at last.

You are the One

You are the one I've searched for all of my life.

My love for you has been building as our hearts

Are slowly becoming one. My life has been full of

Happiness as our souls have been completed

With the love we share for each other.

You are the one that my heart longs for.

My heart and soul have found their other halves,

Because you are the one I love like no other.

Your Love

The love I need, the love that I desire lies deep within the one

That holds the key to me. He that holds thee knows there is

No greater love than his. His love that was once received, was

Lost and now rebuilt. That sliver of hope is now blossoming into

A whole new love. But now that my hopes have risen, will the

One I love, the only true love of mine,

Will he who holds thee....hold fast to me?

Inspiration

This world is dark and dismal, rarely letting

A ray of light shine through to feed my

Aching soul, to allow growth.

Somehow you found a way into my world,

Through the clouds and through the showers of pain.

A silver lining you have become to show me the way

Into a life of love and hope.

You are my inspiration, giving me hope and strength to

Take another step towards the discovery of my journey.

A completion you have been working on since the day we met.

Our hearts intertwining to make one.

Without saying a word, you have turned my world into

A blossoming garden of renewal and tenderness.

The cloudy days and dark skies tremble because of the

Strength you have given me.

You are my inspiration to continue my journey.
