In the Night

The darkness fills the air
The moon's harsh light is covered
A brisk wind blows down the path
A child walks alone in the night.

The anger fills his heart
The sadness chokes off his light
A despair wells within him
A Heart betrayed by the night.

The tears roll on unchecked
The pain heavier than can be imagined
A terrible solution to his sorrows
A last whisper to the night.

The darkness is pierced with brilliance
The harshness of the moon is softened
A roar of flame and noise
A child never leaves the night.

Beautiful Dawn

In the dark hours of the night,
When sunlight has fled and shadows abound,
I still have the honor, the profound gift,
Of seeing the most beautiful Dawn around.
I need only look at your face,
With its serene beauty, its peaceful wisdom,
For the ability to face down any demons,
Hurdle any obstacles I need to overcome.
Many a night has passed that I have been lost,
Not in thought of the past day's rigors
Or contemplations of the day ahead,
But in wonder and awe at the angel lying
Scant inches from me.
How the Lord misplaced you, I'll never know,
For surely you must be one of His most valued works,
And yet, here you are, with me, a man of many flaws,
A fool of a man who has thrown all his gifts away,
Yet has somehow been graced with those gifts again.
To say I love you is not nearly a potent enough
Phrase to convey how I feel about you,
And there is not a single expression I can even imagine
That would not sound glib or trite.
That you continue to be here with me,
After all that I have put you through,
Is an amazing testament to your character.
Forever will I be in your debt,
And forever will I seek to repay you
For the gift of being able to look upon you,
The most beautiful Dawn of all,
Even in the middle of the night.

THE BROKEN-HEARTED

He sat at his desk,
Late into the night.
Distressed and confused,
He tried to write.
He could not quite make
His feelings disperse,
Nor could he his thoughts
Willingly submerse
Into the open sea of his subconscious.
And so he sat, night after night,
Fighting the battle for his sanity.
And it appears that he lost,
Unless it is for his vanity
That he sits in the same spot
To this very day,
Not doing anything,
Just wasting away.

Pyro those were absolutely awesome!

"In the night" was heartbreaking.

Thanks for sharing

for lack of a better way to describe them.....

f***ing awsome (sorry mods, but admit it...they are...)

Thank you both very much, I'll post more later...

Groovy, I can't wait.

THE DEATH POEM

It creeps upon the young;
It leaps upon the old.
I can feel it coming;
I know its frightful hold.
Thanatos, the Grim Reaper,
It doesn't matter the name;
For, when you speak of Death,
The subject is the same.
I have seen my days,
My life's journey is nearing its end.
There's nothing I can do but wait,
So I wait,...wait and pretend.
I pretend that I am young again,
My bride and I alone,
Looking at the house
We would one day call our own.
I lose my concentration, and slip
Forward to a few years past;
A time when I knew
My love's life would not last.
And on that final night,
When I held her hand for the last time,
I looked into her eyes,
And knew I was next in line.
Now, back in the present,
Death is close enough to touch.
Closer do I beckon him,
While leaning on my crutch.
I reach out to him,
With an ever so frail hand;
Then I notice something peculiar:
It seems that Death is a woman.
And not just any woman, either:
It is my one true, eternal love.
She's come to take me to be with her,
In the heavens up above.
She grows impatient with her love,
And so, my dear, dear friends,
With this final line,
My life does truly end.

OMFG soo good man

Again Pyro...very cool!

This is just so awesome!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

You Must Be an Angel

You've seen the darkness inside of me
You know how foolish I can be
Yet you are still here with me
You must be an angel

I've given you every reason to hate
Given you reason to be irrate
Yet you still stay and wait
You must be an angel

You have no clue how great you are
To the ends of the earth, I'd go that far
Just to show you that you are my star
You must be an angel

You must be an angel
Sent from above.
You must be the messenger,
The bringer of love.
You must be the dream
That keeps me here.
You must be an angel,
You destroy my fear.

I get thrills deep in my chest
When I feel your tender caress
My heart starts to flutter within my breast
You must be an angel

I have no other love than you
And to you I'll always be true
That is the very least I could do
You must be an angel

You must be an angel
Sent from above.
You must be the messenger,
The bringer of love.
You must be the dream
That keeps me here.
You must be an angel,
You destroy my fear.


To my wife

You must be an angel
Sent from above.
You must be the messenger,
The bringer of love.
You must be the dream
That keeps me here.
You must be an angel,
You destroy my fear

Pyro, what a wonderful wife you must have to inspire such beautiful words.

Thank you Dot, I'll make sure she knows that...

wow pyro... im impressed!!!

In Darkness

I walk alone in darkness
Falling forever through nothingness
The path before me a gaping hole
The past behind me in shadow
And nothing above to light my way
Nothing to turn this darkness to day
And so I'll walk forever in night
In the shadows formed by the raven's flight.

Now light purifies the youth
Of new love in the heart.
It sweeps across this my realm
Of which darkness was such a part.
Yet now I can see the truth,
The thought that doesn't fail,
For it is true that in
The heart, love springs eternal.

The light of love in midlife
Shines oh so brilliantly,
And time of life , hand-in-hand,
Seems like it will last eternally.
Of course, in the mind, all
Of our love seems ethereal.
Yet, in the heart, as always,
Love springs eternal.

Now darkness of age taints
The shining of the beautiful light,
Turning the greatest of days
Into a dark, deep twilight.
And as I watch it coming,
With you at my side, I see
That no matter what happens in
This life, love springs eternally.

BLADE OF LOVE

Dark angels flap their wings
Inside the confines of my head.
Listening closely, I faintly hear
The voices of the dead.
Like Satan's legions, thrown from Heaven,
Dark thoughts are vanquished from the light,
But they are still there, showing themselves
In the darkest part of the night.
They taunt me, for I fear them,
But what man would not?
They separate the sane from the insane,
These dark, demonic thoughts.
Fortunately, I have the bright blade
Of love to keep these thoughts at bay.
I treasure this love, adore it,
More than mere words can say.
The steel that is her love for me
Is stronger than any demon's shield,
And before the brightness of this love,
Even Lucifer must completely yield.
The most graceful of angels to her
Hold not the slimmest candle.
Indeed, her beauty is almost
More than even I can handle.
She is my wife, my love, my life,
She is what keeps me sane.
She is what I have longed for.
She is my eternal flame.
As long as eternity lasts,
And the cosmos does not split apart,
I will love her, night and day,
With every beat of my heart.

excellent pyro, excellent

Wow...again Pyro very cool!

Thanks guys.

those are very, VERY good, makes me wonder if i just sat down and thought about it, what i could do i love your poems tho

Unto Death I Love Thee

Mine heart is forevermore thou's
And mine love flourishes always
Unto death I love thee
Forever and eternal.

Mine soul is with thee daily
And nightly mine dreams stay true
Unto death I love thee
Passionate and whimsical.

Mine prayers are for thee
And mine strength at thy command
Unto death I love thee
Taintless and pure.

Mine body thrills at thy touch
And mine faith is unwavering
Unto death I love thee
On thy wings I soar.

unto happy meals I love thee


joyful is this meal
blessed be this boy
for once this fasting be broken
rewarded is Moe with a toy

the very smell of thy buns
the sight of thy arched back
oh to remove thy wrapper
and sink my teeth into to such morsels!


be thy golden arches
be thy meat patty king
overloading on starches
this Moe's heart doth sing

mine heart is with thee daily
clogged with cholesterol
but tomorrow just maybe
we shall eat fruit afterall

@ Moe

My Love Is Always Here

I prayed one night to God
I asked what He wished me to do
He said that it was up to me
And He showed me you
He said "You have a choice
As all my children do
You can love her or leave her"
I chose to love you
He said "Your life won't be easy
You will stumble, you will fall
You will risk many things
You may lose it all
You can live in darkness or light
But no matter how great your fear
You will never be alone
My love is always here"

I pass His words along to you
I give you a solemn vow
That we will be happier tomorrow
Than we are right now
We have our troubles, it's true
I have stumbled and fallen
I have done foolish things
That you have found appalling
I still feel you are the only one for me
And though I know you feel much pain
I can promise the morrow will ease your sorrow
You won't be hurt again
You will never need to be alone
No matter how great your fear
I will always be with you
My love is always here

How beautiful Pyro

Awesome, buddy.

Running In Place

The wind blows across my face
Though I’m getting nowhere fast
I am stuck running in place
Trying to escape the mistakes of the past
Faster and faster and faster I go
Never missing a step I run
Why I’m running I do not know
I wish to God this life was done
I have nothing left inside
I have nothing in my heart
I have nothing left to hide
My soul has been ripped apart
My legs are hurting from the speed
I cannot run like this forever
I am tired but I must proceed
My fear will never let me stop, never
I will run until I die
I will drop before long
I have worn out my time
I am not that strong
I will continue running in place
Even though it will kill me
It is much easier than to face
The pain that I see

Truly moving pyrothius. Remarkably, Moe has a poem with the same exact title as yours:


running in place but wanting to move
legs not responding we think they are glued
to bad its a floor made out of wood
I want to use force but dont think that I should

been running in place for two days straight
have to go potty but forced to just wait
wanting nothing more than a long good rest
standing so long, in my hair a bird nest

for weeks now I have been running in place
feels like a bungee cord tied round my waist
the nest of eggs hatched and the birds peck my face
wild dogs nibbled my toes into paste

I look at the sky , raise my hands in a "v"
and cry out cuz god put a curse upon me
so lo and behold this fool on a tether
unable to see his laces tied together

oo i like running in place....kudos to Pyro


and way to go Moe! hehe

Reasons

Your beauty transcends the glory
Of angels in full flight.
Your radiance outshines the brilliance
Of the sun’s warming light.
Your smile is more dazzling
Than the largest diamond known.
Your kiss is more valuable
Than anything I’ll ever own.
Your body is more alluring
Than a castle made of gold.
You are a wonderful woman,
The only one I want to hold.
For all these reasons and more
That I cannot even say,
I love you more and more
With each passing day.

To my wife

Again very nice Pyro

Dreams

Dreams of darkness
Dreams of light
In my tortured mind
They forever fight
Warring for dominance
Battling for control
The never-ending skirmishes
Have imparted a heavy toll
On my battered mind
On my tortured soul
I have never felt
So out of control
Flying high into the sky
Crashing down into the ground
Feelings of joy and fears
Smiles of hope, despairing tears
Time is catching up to me
Your hand stops it some
Things are so confused now
I don’t know what I’ve become
Am I broken, battered, torn
Will my heart be reborn
Will find myself again
Will my pain ever end
These are the questions
They plague me now
I cannot answer them
I do not know how
Yet I still hold on to hope
That in this ferocious fight
Dreams of darkness will fall
To happier dreams of light

OMG!! Pyro, those are such beautiful poems!!!
Truly amazing!!!
I liked the most The Death Poem and A Beautiful Dawn.
