Herculine Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I wanted so much more. I am left in darkness alone,Abandoned,My body used and cast aside,Hot and wet. I yearned for love and passion,Received passion to my fill,'Til achingly I could bear no more,Yet I thirst for love still. Lying in the wake of expectationsUnfulfilled,Tears dampen my still-hot cheeks,For I am alone again. I wanted so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted so much more.This is outstanding work - I must say this is far better than most poetry I've read so far. You're a true artist, and I applaud you for your talents. ***** --------------- The Cold Embrace of Heartache Here in the passing moonlightCasting dancing shadowsCaressing us in soft pale lightYou left me cold and alone Once loved, and twice betrayedNevermore shall this heart breakInto these arms I fallThe cold embrace of heartache What once was lost shall be foundNo more to tread this roadAll I've ever felt and knownIn my cold heart of stone Once loved, and twice betrayedNevermore shall this heart breakInto these arms I fallThe cold embrace of heartache Time has come and gone againThe fear of being wholeWeathered by this deep-rooted painOf my curse and dreaded sorrow Once loved, and twice betrayedNevermore shall this heart breakInto these arms I crawlThe cold embrace of heartache...

Herculine Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 And in the passing moonlightCasting dancing shadowsCaressing us in soft pale lightCould it be true and known? Once loved, and twice betrayedNevermore shall this heart breakInto these arms I fallThe cold embrace of heartache What once was lost shall be foundNo more to tread this roadAll I've ever felt and knownIn my cold heart of stone Once loved, and twice betrayedNevermore shall this heart breakInto these arms I fallThe cold embrace of heartache Time has come and gone againThe fear of being wholeAnd weathered away this deep painOf my cursed dreaded sorrow Once loved, and twice betrayedNevermore shall this heart breakInto these arms I crawlThe cold embrace of heartache...

ResidentWeevil2077 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Who hasn't been through their share of heartbreak? As someone who isn't afraid toexpress how they feel, rather than shutting themselves in, I've learned that expression through poetry/songwriting can help deal with deep-rooted emotions that somehow were buried in the nucleus of my heart. There's no need for thanks, I write for everyone. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTenaim Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Have just Looked at this it is wonderful to see, esp. as many of us have been inspired by Dezi, heres one of mine for you. Hehe Haha,life is great,Love is here,Boy is he great,Always there,Never down,A smile to lift. A hug he gives,A snuggle,A kiss,He I would miss,So don't let it end. May not quite work,But I don't care.He is there,That is all I care. That was from mine Pillow Book Thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herculine Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thank you. I think it's right about here that we needed a poem that is a bit more cheerful. I'm sorry I've somehow overlooked the Pillow Book thread, but I'm going to check it out right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herculine Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 ODE TO A SILVER KNIGHT Winter approaches; I dread its damp chillAnd being alone when the nights are long and still. Golden leaves fall to the earth on the breezeAnd I bow my head, feeling stark as these trees. I mourn the demise of yet another year,Lamenting unfulfilled dreams as I shed a tear. 'Tis our nature to long for the past,To feel that life has slipped by us too fast, But while life still beats within my breastI shall pursue love like an epic knight's quest. I wonder is it foolish to want something pure,To long for happiness and a love that is sure? Surely 'tis not, only a fool would denyThe ache of his heart when beauty holds his eye. Yet Fate can be a cruel weaver with her long, tangled skein,Connecting two hearts with such a vast void between. These obstacles she often doth place,Barriers of age or persuasion, of time or of space. A few we surmount, though not without woeAs prejudice transforms our friends into foes, For they understand not what my heart it desires,The completeness for which my soul doth aspire. Yet other such voids are more difficult to bridge,Though we try on in vain, we cannot reach the far ridge. I ponder these things as I walk amongst leavesTossed on the wind like lost souls filled with grief. As I feel it deepen, the crisp autumn chill,I wonder of love and I shall seek it still. O Silver Knight, in your dreams I must live,For my heart, though I'd want to, I know I can't give. As much as I seek it, love doth consortWith that cruel mistress Fate and the threads she distorts. As I gaze up into the shrouded gray skyI call out to Fate and ask her thus why Doth she play such cruel tricks and vex us with trialsSuch as falling in love though separated by miles? Why does she curse me? No answer does come,Thus I know not why love is kind only to some. I can only hope beyond the world I can seeThat there might be a new chance of happiness for me. In a life after this one spring must come again,And in that fresh season we shall still be friends. But if love it should find us unhindered by Fate,Then for that new springtime I will patiently wait. I will huddle through winter in my lonely hearth's glow,Waiting for springtime to dispatch the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
