"Missing You" By Artist ©2007-2008 ~fendii


Finding Strength

I sit an empty vessel
My soul bleeding
A part of me missing
Hollow an understatement for this void

As Mr. Sandman has taken leave
Slumber escapes me completely
Luna has lost her luster
To these afflicted eyes
Her beams no longer soothe me

Heartache dances on every tear stain
Encrusted upon my pillow of pain
Reminding me each daybreak
How lost I am without you

Like sands in an hourglass
I count each second
Awaiting your return
At snails pace the days crawl by
The calendar now my enemy

With each black X made
Wait becomes the Mother
Of all four letter words to me

Leaving me heartbroken
The likes of a disappointed child
On Christmas Morning

There are no descriptors
That could paint this ache
This crippling sense of loss
A portion of what once was
I'm now incomplete

But even in the face of such pain
I'm unwavering
No length of  wait
Could sever the ties
So intricately knotted around my heart

In that bond I've found my strength
To endure the test of time

"My Pot Of Gold"
Current mood: weathery
Category: weathery Writing and Poetry

This lil ditty today was something I wrote a lil while ago for an effects of nature challenge and pulled it from my vault to revamp a lil and use today to add to my pals over at The Poetry Nest 2 blog Tuesday's Weather Report Challenge
check it out and see if your ink can get all weathery like today





"My Pot Of Gold"


Under looming clouds of depression
All hope drifting away through heartache's breeze
Rustling the bitter branches on my tree of confusion

I sat in the shade an empty sack of bones
Possessor of the Jack Frost of pitch black hearts
Self Imposing flat lines as a means to survive

Devoid of signs of life rotting away like a corpse
My maggots of isolation feasting on my lonely soul
White towel in hand I was ready to wave

Until a glow illuminated my darkened horizon
Inspiring me to bask in it's radiance
Coloring me anew with it's vibrant palette

I rose up dancing beneath the beams
Drinking of the spectrum of this colorful array
Following it to it's very end

My Reward
My Pot Of Gold
Was You

"Loves Harvest"

Reaching down
To the depths inside
The darkest death
That rules the mind

Over rides emotions
Clutches the soul
Consumes the heart
Seizes control

No life herein
Ever to dwell
The worst phase of death
The living hell

Emotional suicide
As the saying goes
The mind can't remember
What the heart refuses to know

Lock it down
Hide it away
No Gain No Pain
That's the only way

Never to climb the mountain of love
Bind it tight and the heart will never leap
No water for the seeds of affection
And you'll never sow to reap

Parch the thoughts
Withered as to never be said
For loves harvest
Is best left for dead

A Love Story (Queen Style)
Category: Writing and Poetry

"A Love Story"

Another long day at work, driving along consumed with thoughts of my man. Oh how very much I love him, all I want in this world was him I thought. A brief stop by the gas station and I hurried to the house. I entered through the back door into the kitchen to avoid disturbing anyone's sleep. All was calm except the humming of the A/C and an occasional  GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP  as I make my way through the house.

Through the living room I go
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

Up the stairs
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

Pausing to admire family photos on the walls. Him and the kids, the wedding pictures, Oh how handsome he was in his Tux  that day.  I proceed to the girl's room.
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

So peaceful the both of them look, like little angels sleeping.
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

I then head to the nursery
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

The baby is restless, so I give him his pacifier and stroke his back a minute calming him back to sleep.
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP 

Then I head to the Master bedroom
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

Standing at the doorway in a fixed daze watching my beloved sleep. Thinking about seeing him earlier today on my lunch break when I passed the park.  Walking over to him I think about what a wonderful husband and father he is. Those images of him at the park dancing in my mind.
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

Standing over him now I stroke his face and whisper I love you. Distracted by rustling of the sheets I glance around. My mind reels.
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

I push the hair back from his face and then turn to leave. Roused from his sleep he follows  me as  I head down the stairs.
GLUMP GLUMP GLUMP

He appears behind me asking "What are you…." slipping he grabs the banister to catch himself.  "What the hell is this?" he finished. I reach the bottom of the stairs, open the front door then turn to look up at him. Reaching in my pocket while I tell him "This is what happens when you play with fire" His eyes widened with fear as I strike a match then ignite the whole booklet tossing it to the floor then shouting, "You get burned!!!"

IN CONCLUSION

Let this serve as a public service announcement to all married men who decide to cheat, that cheating affects the whole family.

"Forsaken"
Category: Writing and Poetry

Artwork "Forsaken" By: ©2007-2008 *Nicolas-Henri


"Forsaken"

Cold steel in hand
I trod along deserted corridors
With feet that make no sound

Sorrow drenches my face
As I claw the walls of seclusion
Loneliness embedding under every nail

Flashback's on my screen of black
Reeling in slow motion
As evil crawls the sockets of sin

Satan's chokehold on my throat
Asphyxiating the breath of my soul
Darkness engulfs me

Upon my knees nestled in the corner of confusion
Hanging onto sanity by a thread
I teeter on the edge of madness

In desperation I scream out
Pleading to a God who has no face
Once again to be forsaken

Sugar Coated Demon
Current mood: evil
Category: Writing and Poetry

"Sugar Coated Demon"

Innocent and Pure
The shell you see
Wicked and stained
The center of me

I put on a good show
Such a sweet little thing
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Nothings what it seems

Dance the good dance
Walk the straight line
Sing the right songs
Play nice all the time

My halo gleaming
While others look on
My horns appear
As soon as their gone

Professing great truth
Hoarding monumental lies
A sugar coated demon
In an angelic disguise

"I Said"
Category: Writing and Poetry

"I Said"


I said
I would never trust again
Never let anyone get near

I said
I would never care again
Never risk heartache and tears

I said
I would never trip again
And fall inside another's soul

I said
I would never lose myself
And surrender my self control

I said
I would never love again
Never follow cupid's cue

I said it
But all of those I would nevers
Faded the very moment that I met you

My Twisted Mind
Category: Writing and Poetry

Since I am starting anew and fresh
How better than my invitation to you all inside.........




My Twisted Mind

Step inside
My twisted mind
It's sure to entertain you
A mismatched realm
Of Heaven and Hell
Sanity and Madness

Where Good and Evil are interbred
And curiosity will seduce you
Confusion abounds amidst an eerie calm
And crimson shadows will engulf you

One glance you see perfection
Then a total mess
Peaceful and quite one step in
Then chaos and distress

Joyful with a sense of Peace
Yet darkness looming amid
Such a high regard for human life
Yet homicidal tendencies live

Beautiful Visions
Yet Horrific Images
All Intertwined
Weakness yet great strength
With such A thirst for life
Among the desire to die

A Sinner yet A Saint
A kind soul
But an evil plight
A Mistress of wickedness
Branded Satan's Whore
Yet clutching the cloth
As A Walker of the Light

Sugar and spice
Naughty and nice
A seductress
A tease
So many varied extremes
Such a demon
With an angels wings

So do come in
And peek inside
Amuse yourself
Lose yourself
Inside My Twisted Mind
