Salvation.You need not walk in darkness,
I will set alight the world.

Thou Shalt Not Commit--have you ever been in the bed of a committed lover
when someone else's name is on your tongue,
and you saw him yesterday: that wallflower who drove
your patience past its limit, whose waiting hand
stretched you to the lengths of your intimacy until you cried
mercy? the man who loved your every interest, craved
the workings of your ideology, sought after your pacing mind
more than he ever witnessed your lust? and you think,
if i had been a more stable person then, i would be talking
the first words of my guilt: debilitating the trust
which does not come so easily but he wanted every broken
piece of it, sat around the edges of conversations whe

Once MoreSoft satin caresses, sweet lips touch,
sending heat down my spine. Fingers
intertwine, brushing mouth, cheeks,

hair, leaving nothing behind. Desire
controls, your lust craving more,
hiding the picture. Moving lips

show mind’s hunger, representing
wavering ways. Sick of twisted motives,
such childish play, now say her name

once more, rekindling blazing flames.
Red drops of passion puddle upon floor,
draining white fingertips damp, speak

once more. Deepen fresh wounds
with twisted smiles. Say her name
once more, I dare to hear such sounds.

If not, hold your tongue, your eternal
peace, and never move those lips from mine.

Kiss the NightI have lost my heart to the man who wears black
His eyes tore my soul from my mind
A kiss in the dark and I was lost
One touch and my world became the night
He took my hands and we caught the falling stars
He held me as we painted the midnight sky
His love glows soft and true like the moon
My name is sacred prayers on his lips
I have lost my heart to the King of the Night
And my longing for him is eternal

Door Bell (Oftentimes)Oftentimes my door bell rings
I slowly open up the entryway
to Anger waiting anxiously, alone
but these days I just shut him out
don't need him inside my house -
more broken things for me to sweep

Please don't bite me anymore - no words
your poisoning upon my face was faint
tracing of a misty, deep amphetamine:
at first a bursted tinge of open-heart,
but soon the dose grew smaller than a seed -
molehill next to mountains from my past

I used to think of you as something strong
green and awe-bright - cradled by a thousand years
but holding you I felt you bend and slither
watched you swallow whole the things I gave
to you - so now I see you st

Four Thousand MilesFour Thousand Miles

One body of water seperates ours,
But they say,
Home is where your heart is,
I'm already there.

There isn't a moment,
When I am not yours,
And you are not mine,
No matter where we are,
So what's four thousand miles?

I would chart a course,
Around this world,
To be with you,
And will.

Why waste time?

You are the missing piece,
Of a puzzle,
With no sharp edges,
You fit in perfectly,
Fixing me.

The lights in the sky,
Shine just for us,
No matter where we are,
So what's four thousand miles?

In My Lover's ArmsIn My Lover's Arms*
for Puabi
"He takes me with him everywhere, and back home for warm love."
Puabi
My mind and my eye are set outdoors
Although i wander, i ne'er will go far
My heart is always warning me
That someone sweet awaits at my side
So i hold her tight in my arms
As i walk through my door
I spend the daylight hours away
But i must return ere night
"The wind can roar and howl
The pouring rain can rain
Yet i shall not be in my home
Till i lie in my lover's arms again"
"Beloved!Come and relax with Puabi now."
*from the words of John Donne

Mixing Thoughts with Blood One second was all it took
Crying out in pain and desire for solace
She could see that nothing was left for her
It was all going to be over
Or so she thought...

The blood ran out of her veins
In a flow of red waters luminescent in the night
No one was around her, no one cared
She would be alone for eternity
Or so she thought...

A tiny light, just a beam
It did not know she could not see
The life beyond what she was living
Was just the darkness left within it
Or so she thought...

The blood runs slowly down her face
Her eyes start to dull and glass
This scene playing out does now create
A sence that she was already

A Knight's OathI swear on my blade
That I shall protect you
From any evil or holy power
I will be with you through darkness and light
Never to forsake you
Never will I take my hands to harm you
Nor shall I cause you pain
I shall be your pillar
Your enemies shall hear the cry of the eagle
The wolf will howl
VAE VICTIS!
Never shall you fear me
For you are my princess
I will be your sword and shield
Always faithful
I swear on my blade
I swear on my honor
I swear in blood
As a knight of darkness
I swear this oath to you

No JewelryNo Jewelry
For Puabi
If, one day, someone gave me a Sapphire
I would give it back
No sapphire can ever match the blue
In her eyes
If someone gave me a Ruby
I would give it back
No ruby can ever match the red
In her lips
If someone gave me a Diamond
I would give it back too
No diamond can ever match the glow
In her heart
I have her
Who is worth more than jewels

ThunderYou are the thunder that hearkens the coming of my lightning
You are the right hand that holds my sword
You are the one I entrust my scarred heart with
The guardian of my feelings
You are the inspiration to keep going
To not back down, and to surpass all mortals
Aurum and argentum pale in comparison to you
The pentagram and crucifix cannot separate us
Hatred has no power over us
Together, we are stronger than the adamant will itself
And together
We shall be thunder and lightning
Forever together

Love is insanityLove is insanity
Simple
There is no simpler way to explain it
Love will always
ALWAYS
Make you do some crazy stuff
And I am not talking about
Pre-teen
“oh he’s so hot”
Shit
No
I mean
True love
True love
Is what makes you
Go insane
Whether you realize
Or not
The type of insanity
That makes you stay
By one’s side
No matter how
Bull crap they make you deal with
The type of insanity
That makes you strive after
The same person for years
And even
When you are rejected
For the second
Even the fifth
Time
You still stay by their side
And you never let go of that hope
Now I will be honest
There is a point
Where that love
Become

Street Of Past.A whore passed by me,
She was cying inside,
Triying to cover up her rotten skin.

You ran behind me,
I felt your breath inside me,
In the bloody streets of past,
You took my hand,
And we followed the whore.

We follewed the hate-chain,
Lusting for vangeance,
Lusting for you.

My words, your touchWhy do I mind,
If you can't say more than one word at a time?

I'm not perfection, far from divine.
But I wonder how you are,
I ask if you're fine.

I know that you love me,
I know that you care...
Blah blah blah, and romantic despair.

Could you please just take the time?
I need to hear that you'll always be mine.
Words are my currency,
But my body is yours.

Can we compromise?

One word per touch;
It really isn't that much.

Let's swap:
I
Want
You.

For:
I
Love
You

And:
How
Does
That
Feel

For:
How
Are
You
Feeling?

Words wrapped in emotion are what I need to hear,
The feeling of my skin is all you can bare.
An eternal tug of war, it alw

Ringing In My Ears Again

by ~elephantrock, May 10, 2005, 1:14:36 PM
Literature / Poetry / Romantic / Post-Teen (Mature) / Free Verse

You splintered names within the fabric
Under sundered, starry skies
It''s evident, malevolence is hiding
Sweet within his eyes
And they say home is where the heart is
But my heart belongs to you
The crooked house, the winding street
The haggard beat behind the blues

And it seems stupid to be so afraid
Of words that no one ever said
Mistakes that no one ever made
A life that no one ever led
A ring that no one ever bought
A house that no one ever built
A lesson learned that we forgot
Another six foot hole to fill
And the beating of your broken heart
Is ringing in my ears again

These empty words are growing sleepy
Overpriced and underused
Do what I can, a family man
Is hiding sweetly at the fuse
To think that just one cigarette
Could make my world burst into flames
The crooked house, the winding street
The sleeping child without a name

And it seems stupid to be so afraid
Of words that no one ever said
Mistakes that no one ever made
A life that no one ever led
A ring that no one ever bought
A house that no one ever built
A lesson learned that we forgot
Another six foot hole to fill
And the beating of your broken heart
Is ringing in my ears again
