Distance & Longings...

As I look at you vanish into the setting sun,

I have few regrets, but regarding falling in love with you, none,

My heart still flutters when I see you smiling,

Words flow and I just begin writing.

Prose and poems describing your beauty,

Loving you even when you are difficult and moody,

I have loved you with all the pieces of my broken heart,

Of me, you shall always be a part.

Everyone asks me how I am, and don't believe,

When I say I am happy, surprised as to why i do not grieve,

But I know I have loved you and you have loved me too,

For that, to your memories I shall never bid adieu.

It hurts to see you go but I shall wait,

For I do believe you are my soul mate,

Maybe things will change when you set your foot on that foreign land,

Think of me and I shall be there to hold your hand.

This distance between us, may cause us pain,

You may become sad when the skies darken and it rains,

But hush my love, don't shed a tear,

I am there with you always, you have nothing to fear.

A Kiss to build a dream on ...

Saturday Morn, bright sunshine and I was lazy,

Memories of last night were few and hazy,

But then I remembered her face and couldn’t help but smile,

Suddenly the hangover and the headaches were worthwhile.

A surprise at the end of the day,

Coz I met an angel, from heaven who had gone astray,

A little naughty, a little crazy, twirling and dancing,

Everything about her was meant to make the heartbeats go racing.

When I saw her, our eyes met and I was under her spell,

To talk to her, I was willing to invade hell,

Yet before I could take a moment to think,

She was standing next to me, all in a blink.

Hours passed and we danced and talked,

In our private little world we were locked,

Then she looked at me with a look that made my heart ache,

Oh, how do you dream when you are wide awake?

Feeling the moment slip away, 

I wished she would stay,

As we held hands and looked at the first rays of the dawn,

She kissed me, a kiss to build a dream on!

Man and his Sword

Fantasy wrapped in lies,

His blade dropping bodies like flies,

The daggers of betrayal stuck in his back,

Trust and faith could not stand the attack.

Heart pounding, ragged short breaths,

Surrounded by the chants of bodies close to death,

Arms numb, yet still swinging the sword with precision,

He could not fail, that was the only precondition.

Unknown to life, Nor known to death,

His wake filled with wreaths,

His soul and his blade truly merged as one,

He shall stand and do what needs to be done.

An Unlikely Lover

As she fell from heaven, 

He knew if he didn't save her, his love for her would never be proven,

So he dived after her, going faster and faster,

With his sleek wings breaking, one by one, just so he could reach her.

To save her, any war he would win,

To save her, he would commit any and all sin.

She opened her eyes, in shock, when his arms slid around her waist,

To crumble into the dust of hell, he braced,

Yet he prayed to the entire universe, 

To save her, for he had already chosen his course.

He made a bargain lasting an eternity,

His soul for hers, a fair exchange, no absurdity,

As he opened his arms, to let her free,

Love and understanding in his eyes, she could see.

To save her, any war he would win,

To save her, he would commit any and all sin.

Now he stays, deep underground,

The only one without a soul, where he was crowned,

Never regretting the choices made to save his love,

Yes, the devil was an angel in love, from heaven up above.
